A normal fasting blood sugar level in the morning, measured after not eating for at least 8 hours, typically falls within the following range:

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

It's important to note that these values can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and individual health conditions. If your fasting blood sugar is consistently outside the normal range, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
