A blood sugar level of 98 mg/dL is generally considered normal for a fasting blood glucose test. Here’s a quick reference for blood sugar levels:

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.
  • Non-Fasting Levels: If this is a random (non-fasting) test, a level of 98 mg/dL is also considered healthy.

However, always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice, as individual health conditions may vary.
