is 109 blood sugar high

A blood sugar level of 109 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

  A fasting blood sugar level of 109 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels. It’s not considered high enough for a diabetes diagnosis but suggests a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

• Post-Meal Blood Sugar (1–2 hours after eating):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140–199 mg/dL or higher

  If 109 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is within the normal range.

Next Steps:

• If this is a fasting reading, consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management to reduce your risk of diabetes.
• Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation, including an A1C test, which provides a 3-month average of your blood sugar levels.
