is 101 high for glucose

A fasting blood glucose level of 101 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range, which is typically 70-99 mg/dL. While it is not considered high enough to diagnose diabetes, it may indicate prediabetes. Here’s a breakdown of blood glucose ranges:

Category Fasting Blood Glucose (mg/dL)

Normal 70–99
Prediabetes 100–125
Diabetes 126 or higher

If your fasting glucose is consistently around 101 mg/dL, it’s a good idea to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation, including an A1C test, which provides a 3-month average of your blood sugar levels.
