A blood glucose level of 108 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:
-
Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):
- Normal: Below 100 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
A fasting glucose level of 108 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. It indicates slightly elevated blood sugar levels, which may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
-
Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (after eating):
- Normal: Below 140 mg/dL
- Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140 mg/dL or higher
If 108 mg/dL is a non-fasting reading, it is considered normal.
Next Steps:
- Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
- Consider lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management to help lower blood sugar levels.
