A blood sugar level of 104 mg/dL can be considered normal or slightly elevated depending on the context:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), a level of 104 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) but still within the prediabetes range (100–125 mg/dL).
  • Random Blood Sugar: If measured randomly (not fasting), 104 mg/dL is generally considered normal.

If your fasting blood sugar is consistently around 104 mg/dL, it may indicate prediabetes, and you should consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential lifestyle changes.
