A normal blood sugar range varies depending on when you last ate. Here are the general guidelines:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
- Postprandial Blood Sugar (1-2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- A1C Test (average over 2-3 months): Below 5.7%
These ranges may vary slightly depending on individual health conditions and guidelines from healthcare providers. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
