what is the fasting sugar level

Fasting blood sugar (glucose) level is a measure of the amount of glucose in your blood after you have not eaten for at least 8 hours. It is commonly used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. Here are the standard ranges:

• Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
• Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

Fasting blood sugar levels are typically measured in the morning before breakfast. If your levels are consistently high, it may indicate insulin resistance or diabetes. Always consult with a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and management.
