Accepted Answer

A fasting blood sugar level is typically measured after not eating or drinking anything other than water for at least 8 hours. Here’s how the levels are generally interpreted:

- **Normal**: Less than 100 mg/dL
- **Prediabetes**: 100-125 mg/dL
- **Diabetes**: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

Your fasting blood sugar levels (108-115 mg/dL) fall within the prediabetes range. This means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as diabetes.

For postprandial (after eating) blood sugar levels, 2 hours after eating:
- **Normal**: Less than 140 mg/dL
- **Prediabetes**: 140-199 mg/dL
- **Diabetes**: 200 mg/dL or higher

Your levels after eating (110-115 mg/dL) are within the normal range.

Given that your fasting levels indicate prediabetes, it's important to take steps to manage your blood sugar:

1. **Diet**: Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit sugary and highly processed foods.
2. **Exercise**: Regular physical activity can help manage blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
3. **Weight Management**: If you are overweight, losing even a small amount of weight can help improve blood sugar levels.
4. **Monitor Blood Sugar**: Regular monitoring can help you understand how different foods and activities affect your blood sugar.
5. **Consult a Doctor**: It's important to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider. They can offer personalized advice and may recommend additional tests or monitoring.

By taking these steps, you can help prevent the progression to diabetes and maintain better overall health.
