Normal blood sugar levels in 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 (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- A1C Levels (average over 2–3 months): Below 5.7%
These ranges are considered normal for most adults. However, individual targets may vary based on health conditions, age, and other factors. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
