A blood sugar level of 102 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

    • Normal: Below 100 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
    • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

    A fasting blood sugar of 102 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on managing your blood sugar.

  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (after eating):

    • Normal: Below 140 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140 mg/dL or higher

    If 102 mg/dL is a non-fasting reading, it is considered normal.

Always discuss your results with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
