A blood sugar 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 blood sugar 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.

  • Postprandial (after eating):

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

    If 107 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is within the normal range.

Next Steps:

  • Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
  • Consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management to reduce the risk of progressing to diabetes.
