What does a fasting blood glucose test level of 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl indicate?

  1. a. Diabetes

  2. b. Hypoglycemia

  3. c. Normal blood sugar

  4. d. Prediabetes

The correct answer is: d. Prediabetes

A fasting blood glucose test level of 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl indicates prediabetes. This range falls between the normal blood sugar levels and the diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. It serves as a warning sign that an individual is at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and provides an opportunity for interventions such as lifestyle modifications to prevent or delay the progression to diabetes.
