Normal blood sugar levels vary depending on the time of day and whether you have eaten recently. Here are the general guidelines for normal blood sugar readings:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): 70–99 mg/dL
- Postprandial (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL
- Random Blood Sugar: Typically between 70–140 mg/dL
These values are for adults without diabetes. If you have diabetes, your target ranges may differ, and you should follow your healthcare provider's recommendations.
Condition Blood Sugar Range (mg/dL)
Normal (Fasting) 70–99
Prediabetes 100–125
Diabetes 126 or higher
