Normal fasting blood sugar levels are typically between 70 to 99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). Here’s a breakdown of what different fasting blood sugar levels indicate:
Fasting Blood Sugar Level Interpretation
70–99 mg/dL Normal
100–125 mg/dL Prediabetes
126 mg/dL or higher Diabetes
If your fasting blood sugar is consistently above 100 mg/dL, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
