Non-fasting blood glucose levels can vary depending on when you last ate and what you consumed. However, general guidelines suggest:
- Normal Range: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- Prediabetes Range: 140–199 mg/dL (7.8–11.0 mmol/L)
- Diabetes Range: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher
It's important to note that non-fasting blood glucose levels are not typically used for diagnosing diabetes. For accurate diagnosis, fasting blood glucose tests or an A1C test are recommended. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and interpretation of your results.
