A blood sugar level of 98 mg/dL is generally considered normal for a fasting blood glucose test. Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar level ranges:
Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category
Below 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes
- Fasting Blood Sugar Test: This test measures blood sugar after not eating for at least 8 hours. A level of 98 mg/dL falls within the normal range (70–99 mg/dL).
- Random Blood Sugar Test: A level of 98 mg/dL is also normal, as random levels below 140 mg/dL are considered healthy.
