Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The blood sugar levels for prediabetes are typically measured using the A1C test, fasting blood sugar test, or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Here are the ranges:
- A1C Test: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Fasting Blood Sugar Test: 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): 140 to 199 mg/dL
If your results fall within these ranges, you may have prediabetes. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss lifestyle changes or treatments to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
