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

What Does 107 mg/dL Mean?

A blood sugar level of 107 mg/dL is a measure of the amount of glucose in your blood. It can be checked after fasting or randomly throughout the day.

Is 107 mg/dL High?

A fasting blood sugar level of 107 mg/dL is slightly elevated but not in the diabetic range. 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)

So, 107 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes category, which indicates an increased risk of developing diabetes.

What Should You Do?

• Consult Your Doctor: They may recommend further testing, such as an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test.
• Lifestyle Changes:
  • Adopt a healthy diet (low in sugar and refined carbs).
  • Exercise regularly (aim for 150 minutes per week).
  • Lose weight if overweight or obese.
• Monitor Blood Sugar: Keep track of your levels to ensure they stay within a healthy range.

Can You Prevent Diabetes?

Yes! With proper lifestyle changes, you can reduce your risk of progressing from prediabetes to diabetes.
