Fasting blood sugar levels are an important indicator of your overall glucose control. Here are the general guidelines:
- Normal: 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
- Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests
It's important to note that these ranges may vary slightly depending on the laboratory or healthcare provider. Always consult with your doctor for personalized advice and interpretation of your results.
