what is normal fasting glucose

Normal fasting glucose levels are typically in the range of 70 to 99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). This is the blood sugar level measured after not eating or drinking (except water) for at least 8 hours.

• Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
• Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

It's important to note that these values may vary slightly depending on the laboratory or healthcare provider. If your fasting glucose levels are consistently outside the normal range, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
