Is a fasting blood sugar of 105 considered pre-diabetic?
Top Replies
A fasting blood sugar level between 100-125 mg/dL is indeed considered pre-diabetic, according to the American Diabetes Association. This means that while you don't have diabetes yet, your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, putting you at increased risk. It's great that you're keeping track of your levels. Have you considered discussing this with your healthcare provider for further guidance?
It's important to remember that pre-diabetes can often be managed or even reversed with lifestyle changes. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight can all help lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Of course, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Remember, pre-diabetes doesn't necessarily mean you'll develop diabetes. By making positive changes now, you can significantly reduce your risk. It's also worth noting that pre-diabetes doesn't usually have noticeable symptoms, so regular check-ups and monitoring are crucial for managing your blood sugar levels effectively.
