A blood sugar level of 103 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

    • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
    • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (random or after eating):

    • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140–199 mg/dL or higher

A fasting blood sugar level of 103 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. However, if this is a non-fasting reading, it may still be considered normal. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and to discuss any concerns about your blood sugar levels.
