The average blood sugar level can vary depending on whether you are fasting or have eaten recently. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L) is considered normal.
  • Postprandial Blood Sugar (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is considered normal.
  • A1C Test: This test measures your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. A normal A1C level is below 5.7%.

Blood Sugar Test Normal Range

Fasting Blood Sugar 70–99 mg/dL Postprandial Blood Sugar <140 mg/dL A1C <5.7%

If your blood sugar levels are consistently outside these ranges, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
