is 104 a good blood sugar level

A blood sugar level of 104 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

  A fasting blood sugar level of 104 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. It indicates slightly elevated blood sugar levels, which may suggest an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

• Post-Meal Blood Sugar (1–2 hours after eating):

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

  If 104 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.

Recommendations:

• If this is a fasting level, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
• Lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
