A good fasting blood sugar number typically falls within the following ranges:

  • Normal: 70 to 99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter)
  • Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

It's important to note that these ranges can vary slightly depending on the guidelines used by different health organizations. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to understand what target range is best for you.
