is glucose 109 high

A fasting blood glucose level of 109 mg/dL is slightly elevated but may not necessarily indicate diabetes. Here’s a breakdown of blood glucose ranges:

Blood Glucose Level Category

Below 100 mg/dL Normal
100–125 mg/dL Prediabetes
126 mg/dL or higher Diabetes

• 109 mg/dL falls within the prediabetes range. This means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.
• It’s important to monitor your levels and consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on lifestyle changes or testing.

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