Normal blood sugar levels vary depending on the time of day and whether you have eaten recently. Here are the general guidelines for blood sugar levels:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
  • Postprandial (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 are for adults without diabetes. If you have diabetes or prediabetes, your target ranges may differ. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
