Answer:

prediabetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The person shown in the above question only consumed water for the last 8 hours, ie this person is fasting. When the glycemic index exceeds 100 mg/dl (sugar level per deciliter of blood) fasting, the person is likely to be pre-diabetic. Ideally, this rate should be between 80 and 100 mg/dl. Values between 100 and 125 fasting indicate the pre-diabetes phase and above 126mg/dl indicate diabetes.
