what is the good blood sugar level

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

• Fasting (before eating): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
• 2 hours after eating: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
• A1C (average over 2–3 months): Below 5.7%

For people with diabetes, target blood sugar levels may differ. Common targets are:

• Fasting: 80–130 mg/dL (4.4–7.2 mmol/L)
• 2 hours after eating: Less than 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)
• A1C: Less than 7% (individualized based on health conditions)

Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best targets for your specific situation.
