A blood sugar level of 103 mg/dL is generally considered normal if measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours). Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar levels:

Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category

Less than 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: 103 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) but still within the prediabetes range (100–125 mg/dL).
  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after eating, 103 mg/dL is considered normal.

If your fasting blood sugar is consistently around 103 mg/dL, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as it may indicate early signs of insulin resistance or prediabetes.
