what levels are considered pre diabetic

Prediabetes is diagnosed based on blood sugar levels that 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, which means you are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and weight loss can help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.
