A fasting sugar of 100–125 mg/dL falls in the prediabetes range, not diabetes. With a family history, this is a good time to act: losing 5–7% of body weight, 150 minutes of walking a week and cutting sugary drinks can greatly lower your risk. Ask your doctor about an HbA1c test and repeat checks every year.
