what are the numbers for diabetes type 2

The diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes is typically based on the following blood sugar levels:

• A1C Test:

  • Normal: Below 5.7%
  • Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
  • Diabetes: 6.5% or above

• Fasting Blood Sugar Test:

  • Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140 to 199 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

These numbers help healthcare providers determine if you have diabetes or are at risk for developing it. If you fall into the prediabetes or diabetes range, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or further testing.
