HI
102 is slightly high but 97 is normal
Pre-diabetes =
Fasting levels from 100 to 125 and
2hr Post meal glucose levels from 140 to 199
For height of 165 the ideal weight would be 65kg.
For ideal Testing:
fast for 8 hours for a 'Fasting glucose'
Do not fast for any longer than 12 hours, as this may affect your test.
Next Steps
try to loose 3kg from your current weight of 75kg it will help reduce sugar levels and prevent future Diabetes.
Health Tips
Follow healthy diet with Low simple carbs and good proteins and healthy fat.
