A fasting blood glucose level of 104 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range (70-99 mg/dL) but is not considered dangerous. However, it may indicate prediabetes, which is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.

Here’s a quick breakdown of blood glucose levels:

Blood Glucose Level (mg/dL) Category

Below 70 Hypoglycemia
70-99 Normal
100-125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes

If your fasting glucose level is consistently around 104 mg/dL, it’s important to:

  • Monitor your levels regularly.
  • Adopt a healthy lifestyle (e.g., balanced diet, regular exercise).
  • Consult your doctor for further evaluation and potential testing (e.g., A1C test).

Early intervention can help prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
