Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The NFHS-5 includes the blood glucose level, sb74, but it is not used to make a diagnosis of diabetes. The variable s728a, "Currently has diabetes", is based on the respondent's self-report of whether she has ever been diagnosed with diabetes. You can look up how a physician might use the blood glucose level to inform a diagnosis of diabetes, but DHS, and the NFHS-5, do not specify or use any threshold.
