A fasting blood glucose level of 106 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
A reading of 106 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. This is a warning sign, and lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, increasing physical activity, and losing weight (if needed) can help prevent progression to diabetes.
It’s important to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized advice.
