Is a Blood Sugar Level of 107 mg/dL Good?

What Does 107 mg/dL Mean?

A blood sugar level of 107 mg/dL is slightly elevated but may not necessarily indicate diabetes. It is important to consider when the measurement was taken (fasting or after eating).

Is 107 mg/dL Good?

A fasting blood sugar level of 107 mg/dL is considered prediabetic. Here’s what it means:

• Normal Range: 70-99 mg/dL (fasting)
• Prediabetes Range: 100-125 mg/dL (fasting)
• Diabetes Range: 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting)

While 107 mg/dL is not in the diabetes range, it indicates that your blood sugar is higher than normal and you may be at risk of developing diabetes.

What Should You Do?

• Consult Your Doctor: They may recommend further tests, such as an A1C or oral glucose tolerance test, to confirm your status.
• Lifestyle Changes:
  • Adopt a healthy diet (focus on whole foods, low in sugar and refined carbs).
  • Exercise regularly (aim for at least 150 minutes per week).
  • Lose weight if overweight or obese.
• Monitor Blood Sugar: Keep track of your levels to see if they improve with lifestyle changes.

Can You Lower Your Blood Sugar?

Yes! With lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management, you can lower your blood sugar and reduce your risk of developing diabetes.
