Prediabetes is diagnosed when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The following ranges are used to diagnose prediabetes:
- A1C Test: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): 140 to 199 mg/dL
If your results fall within these ranges, it indicates prediabetes. Lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management can help prevent or delay the progression to type 2 diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
