what is the normal sugar level in fasting

The normal fasting blood sugar level for a person without diabetes 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 levels:

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 anything except water for at least 8 hours. If your fasting blood sugar is consistently above 100 mg/dL, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes, and you should consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
