A normal fasting blood sugar level typically falls within the following range:
- Normal: 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L)
Fasting blood sugar levels are measured after not eating or drinking anything (except water) for at least 8 hours. Here’s a breakdown of the ranges:
Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category
70–99 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes
If your fasting blood sugar level is consistently outside the normal range, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
