what is blood sugar range for prediabetes

The blood sugar range for prediabetes is typically determined by the A1C test or fasting blood glucose test. Here are the standard ranges:

• A1C Test:

  • Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
  • Normal: Below 5.7%
  • Diabetes: 6.5% or above

• Fasting Blood Glucose Test:

  • Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
  • Normal: Below 100 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or above

If your results fall within the prediabetes range, it’s important to take steps to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
