Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD 🩺

A fasting blood glucose level of 103 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range, which is typically 70-99 mg/dL. Here’s what it means:

  • Normal: 70-99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

A reading of 103 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. It’s not extremely high, but it indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal and you may be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

Next Steps:

  • Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
  • Consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management to help lower your blood sugar levels.
  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly if advised by your doctor.
