A fasting blood glucose level of 108 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range, which is typically 70-99 mg/dL. Here's what it means:

  • Normal: 70-99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100-125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

A reading of 108 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. It indicates that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. However, it’s a sign that you should take steps to manage your blood sugar levels to prevent progression to diabetes.

Next Steps:

  • Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
  • Consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
  • Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.

If you have additional risk factors (e.g., family history of diabetes, obesity), your doctor may recommend more frequent testing or additional tests like the A1C test.
