A glucose level of 105 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting blood sugar level (measured after not eating for at least 8 hours), it is slightly above the normal range (70-99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes. However, it is not considered high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.
  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a random blood sugar level, it is within the normal range (less than 140 mg/dL).

What to Do:

  • If this is a fasting level, consult your doctor for further evaluation, such as an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test.
  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly and consider lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise to maintain optimal levels.

Note: Individual health conditions and risk factors may influence what is considered normal for you.
