A blood sugar level of 7 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) can be interpreted differently depending on the context:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: A fasting blood sugar level of 7 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) or higher is considered diagnostic for diabetes.
  • Random Blood Sugar: A random blood sugar level of 7 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) may not necessarily indicate diabetes but should be followed up with further testing.
  • A1C Test: An A1C level of 7% corresponds to an average blood sugar level of approximately 154 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L), which is above the target for most people with diabetes.

If you have concerns about your blood sugar levels, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized advice.
