The glucose range for prediabetes is typically defined by the following criteria:
- A1C Test: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG): 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): 140 to 199 mg/dL
These ranges indicate higher-than-normal blood sugar levels but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. If you fall into this range, it’s important to take steps to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management.
