what numbers are prediabetes

Prediabetes is diagnosed based on the following blood sugar levels:

• 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 test results fall within these ranges, it indicates prediabetes, which means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Prediabetes increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight loss can help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.
