A fasting blood sugar level is considered diabetic if it is 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests. Here’s a breakdown of fasting blood sugar levels:
Fasting Blood Sugar Level Diagnosis
Less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) Normal 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L) Prediabetes 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher Diabetes
If your fasting blood sugar is in the diabetic range, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
