what is normal fasting blood sugar

Normal fasting blood sugar levels are typically in 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

Fasting blood sugar is measured after not eating for at least 8 hours. If your levels are consistently outside the normal range, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
