what is a normal fasting blood sugar level

A normal fasting blood sugar level typically falls within the following range:

• Normal: 70 to 99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter)

Fasting blood sugar levels are measured after not eating or drinking anything (except water) for at least 8 hours. Levels outside this range may indicate prediabetes or diabetes:

• Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and management.
