A blood sugar level of 105 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

    • Normal: Below 100 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
    • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

    A fasting blood sugar of 105 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential lifestyle changes to prevent progression to diabetes.

  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (random):

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

    If 105 mg/dL is a non-fasting reading, it is within the normal range. However, context matters, so always discuss your results with a doctor.
