Is 6.45 glucose in the pre-diabetes stage?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I went to the endocrinology department of the hospital for a thorough examination, and then the doctor told me the results. The result was that I have a glucose level of 6.45. What does this mean? Is this an abnormal condition? Is a glucose level of 6.45 considered prediabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Through blood test, it needs to be noted whether 6.45 glucose is postprandial or not. If it is fasting blood sugar, this level generally indicates elevated fasting blood sugar. In this case, it cannot be confirmed as diabetes, but there is a risk of developing diabetes. Once this decline occurs again, it is necessary to pay attention to dietary control, increase exercise, and conduct regular tests to prevent the recurrence of diabetes. Early lifestyle intervention is essential.
