Normal blood sugar levels when not fasting (also known as random blood sugar levels) typically fall within the following ranges:
- Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL (7.8–11.0 mmol/L)
- Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher
These values can vary slightly depending on the individual and the testing method. If your blood sugar levels are consistently outside the normal range, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
