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
-
Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (random):
- Normal: Below 140 mg/dL
- Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140–199 mg/dL or higher
A fasting blood sugar level of 106 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. It indicates slightly elevated blood sugar levels, which may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it is not considered high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.
If you consistently see levels in this range, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation, which may include an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
