what should my glucose level be before eating

The ideal glucose level before eating (fasting glucose) varies depending on whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, or no diabetes. Here are the general guidelines:

• Normal (No Diabetes): 70–99 mg/dL
• Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

If you have diabetes, your target fasting glucose level may be individualized by your healthcare provider, but it is typically between 80–130 mg/dL. Always consult your doctor for personalized recommendations.
