What are the levels for blood sugar?

Blood sugar levels are categorized into different ranges based on whether you are fasting, have eaten, or have diabetes. Here are the general guidelines:

• Normal Fasting Blood Sugar: Less than 100 mg/dL
• Prediabetes (Impaired Fasting Glucose): 100 to 125 mg/dL
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests

Postprandial (After Eating) Blood Sugar Levels:

• Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
• Prediabetes: 140 to 199 mg/dL
• Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

A1C Levels (Average Blood Sugar Over 2-3 Months):

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or higher

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to understand what your specific target levels should be, as individual goals may vary based on health conditions and other factors.
