A fasting blood glucose level of 105 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range, which is typically 70-99 mg/dL. Here’s what it means:
- Normal: 70-99 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests
A level of 105 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. While it’s not dangerously high, it indicates that your body may not be managing blood sugar as effectively as it should. This could increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.
What to do next?
- Lifestyle Changes: Focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
- Monitor: Regularly check your blood sugar levels.
- Consult a Doctor: Discuss your results with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Early intervention can help prevent progression to diabetes.
