is 101 glucose high

A blood glucose level of 101 mg/dL is generally considered normal if measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours). Here’s a breakdown of blood glucose ranges:

Blood Glucose Level (mg/dL) Category

Below 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes

• Fasting Blood Sugar: 101 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) but still within the prediabetes range (100–125 mg/dL).
• Non-Fasting Blood Sugar: If this reading is not fasting, it could still be normal depending on when you last ate.

If you consistently see readings around 101 mg/dL, especially after fasting, it’s a good idea to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can help manage blood sugar levels.
