A blood glucose level of 107 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 glucose level of 107 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels. It is not considered high enough for a diabetes diagnosis but suggests an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

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

    • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140–199 mg/dL or higher

    If 107 mg/dL is a post-meal reading, it is within the normal range.

What to Do:

  • If this is a fasting reading, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
  • Lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
