how bad is glucose test of 121

A glucose test result of 121 mg/dL can indicate different things depending on the context of the test:

• Fasting Blood Glucose Test: A result of 121 mg/dL is considered prediabetes (normal is below 100 mg/dL, prediabetes is 100–125 mg/dL, and diabetes is 126 mg/dL or higher).
• Random Blood Glucose Test: A result of 121 mg/dL is generally within the normal range (diabetes is typically diagnosed at 200 mg/dL or higher).

If this was a fasting test, it suggests impaired glucose tolerance, which increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management are recommended. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized advice.
