The normal blood sugar range varies depending on when the test is taken:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
- Postprandial Blood Sugar (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- A1C Test (average over 2–3 months): Below 5.7%
These ranges are general guidelines. Your healthcare provider may set different targets based on your health condition.
