Fasting blood sugar levels are an important indicator of your overall glucose control. Here are the general guidelines:
- Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests
It's important to note that these values may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and specific health conditions. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and interpretation of your results.
