what is the normal fasting blood sugar range

The normal fasting blood sugar range for most individuals is typically between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar ranges:

Blood Sugar Level Category

Below 70 mg/dL Hypoglycemia (Low) 70–100 mg/dL Normal
100–125 mg/dL Prediabetes
126 mg/dL or higher Diabetes

Fasting blood sugar is measured after not eating or drinking (except water) for at least 8 hours. If your levels are consistently outside the normal range, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
