Normal fasting blood glucose levels are typically between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Here’s a breakdown of what different fasting glucose levels indicate:
Fasting Glucose Level Interpretation
Below 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 glucose levels are consistently above 100 mg/dL, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
