A fasting sugar reading of 107 does fall into the prediabetic range, since normal fasting is under 100 and prediabetes starts at 100. Your random reading of 138 is still within the normal range. This combination usually points to borderline sugar control, not full diabetes. It's an early signal worth acting on now.
Next Steps
An HbA1c test will give a clearer three month picture than a single fasting value. Along with that, cutting down refined carbs and sugar, walking for 30 minutes daily, and keeping your weight in check can bring fasting sugar back to the normal range for many people at this stage.
Health Tips
See a physician or endocrinologist to interpret your HbA1c and decide if any follow up testing is needed.
