is 106 blood sugar good

A blood sugar level of 106 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

  A fasting blood sugar level of 106 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. This indicates slightly elevated blood sugar levels, which may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

• Post-Meal Blood Sugar (1–2 hours after eating):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140 mg/dL or higher

  If 106 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.

What to Do:

• If this is a fasting result, consult your doctor for further evaluation, such as an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test.
• Adopt lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management to lower your risk of progressing to diabetes.
