what is a good fasting blood glucose

A good fasting blood glucose level typically falls within the following ranges:

• Normal: 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
• Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests

Fasting blood glucose is measured after not eating for at least 8 hours. Maintaining a healthy fasting blood glucose level is crucial for preventing diabetes and managing overall health. If your levels are consistently outside the normal range, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
