A blood glucose level of 104 mg/dL is generally considered normal if measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours). Here’s a breakdown of blood glucose ranges:
Blood Glucose Level (mg/dL) Category
Below 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes
- Normal: Below 100 mg/dL (fasting)
- Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (fasting)
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting)
A level of 104 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range but falls into the prediabetes category. It’s not immediately dangerous, but it indicates a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. You should consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to manage your blood sugar levels.
