Need more tests: 104 fasting is in the prediabetes range but can't make the diagnosis on one number. See your doctor for another fasting sugar draw or a test called hemoglobin a1c. If it's between 5.7-6.4 and fasting sugar 100-125, then you have prediabetes. This is the most important time to get an exercise and diet regimen going. At this stage, it's reversible.
