what are diabetes blood sugar levels

Diabetes blood sugar levels are categorized into three main ranges based on the A1C test or fasting blood glucose test:

• Normal:
  • A1C: Below 5.7%
  • Fasting Blood Glucose: Less than 100 mg/dL
• Prediabetes:
  • A1C: 5.7% to 6.4%
  • Fasting Blood Glucose: 100 to 125 mg/dL
• Diabetes:
  • A1C: 6.5% or above
  • Fasting Blood Glucose: 126 mg/dL or higher

These levels help diagnose and monitor diabetes. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for managing diabetes effectively.
