is 106 sugar level high

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).
