A fasting blood glucose level of 102 mg/dL is considered slightly elevated and may indicate prediabetes. Here’s a breakdown of blood glucose ranges:

Blood Glucose Level (mg/dL) Category

Below 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes

If your fasting glucose is consistently around 102 mg/dL, it’s important to:

  • Monitor your levels regularly.
  • Adopt a healthy diet (low in refined carbs and sugars).
  • Engage in regular physical activity.
  • Consult your doctor for further evaluation and possible testing, such as an A1C test, to assess your average blood sugar over the past 3 months.

Early intervention can help prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
