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:
Fasting Blood Sugar Level Interpretation
Less than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) Low (Hypoglycemia)
70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L) Normal
100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L) Prediabetes
126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher Diabetes
If your fasting blood sugar is consistently above 100 mg/dL, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes, and you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
