Fasting blood sugar levels are an important indicator of your overall glucose control. Here are the general guidelines for fasting blood sugar levels:
- 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
If your fasting blood sugar is consistently above 100 mg/dL, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.
