The normal range for fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels is typically between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Here’s a breakdown of the ranges:
Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Interpretation
70–99 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 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.
