A blood sugar level of 108 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 108 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. This indicates slightly elevated blood sugar levels, which may increase the 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 108 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.
What to Do:
- If this is a fasting reading, consult your doctor for further evaluation, including an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test.
- Focus on lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management to reduce the risk of diabetes.
