Normal blood sugar levels for adults vary depending on whether you are fasting or have recently eaten. Here are the general guidelines:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): 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)
These ranges are considered normal for most adults. However, individual targets may vary based on health conditions, age, and other factors. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
