what should my sugar level be in the morning

The ideal blood sugar level in the morning (fasting blood sugar) depends on whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, or are non-diabetic:

• Non-Diabetic: 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
• Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
• Diabetes: Typically less than 130 mg/dL (7.2 mmol/L), but your target may vary based on your doctor's recommendations.

For people with diabetes, morning blood sugar levels can be influenced by the dawn phenomenon (a natural rise in blood sugar due to hormonal changes) or the Somogyi effect (rebound high blood sugar after nighttime hypoglycemia).

Always consult your healthcare provider to determine your personalized target range.
