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. It’s not extremely high, but it indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal and you may be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

What to do next?

  • Consult your doctor: They may recommend further testing, such as an A1C test, to confirm your blood sugar status.
  • Lifestyle changes: Focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management to help lower your blood sugar levels.

Regular monitoring and early intervention can help prevent progression to diabetes.
