What was Anna's glucose level?

• A. 425 mg/dL
• B. 180 mg/dL
• C. 300 mg/dL
• D. 200 mg/dL

Answer: (A)

Glucose values in the blood are read in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), and normal ranges are much lower than shown here. A reading of 425 mg/dL is far above typical diagnostic thresholds for diabetes and indicates severe hyperglycemia. Even without symptoms, this level points to poor glucose control and would prompt urgent assessment and management to prevent complications like dehydration or a hyperglycemic crisis.

The other options are elevated but not as extreme. Around 200 mg/dL can meet criteria for diabetes in some non-fasting scenarios, and 300 mg/dL or 180 mg/dL are high enough to raise concern but don’t reflect the same level of severe hyperglycemia as 425 mg/dL.
