A fasting blood glucose level of 102 mg/dL is considered slightly elevated and may fall into the prediabetes range. Here’s a breakdown of blood glucose levels:

Blood Glucose Level (mg/dL) Category

Below 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or above Diabetes

If your fasting glucose level is consistently around 102 mg/dL, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider. They may recommend lifestyle changes such as:

  • Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
  • Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight can improve blood sugar levels.

Regular monitoring and follow-up tests, such as an A1C test, can help assess your risk for diabetes.
