A normal fasting blood sugar level is typically between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Here’s a breakdown of fasting blood sugar levels:
Fasting Blood Sugar Level Interpretation
Below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) Low (Hypoglycemia)
70–100 mg/dL (3.9–5.6 mmol/L) Normal
100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L) Prediabetes
126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or above Diabetes
Fasting blood sugar is measured after not eating for at least 8 hours. If your levels are consistently outside the normal range, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
