A good average blood glucose level depends on whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, or are managing your blood sugar for general health. Here are the general guidelines:
-
For non-diabetic individuals:
- Fasting blood glucose: 70–99 mg/dL
- Postprandial (after meals): Less than 140 mg/dL
-
For individuals with diabetes:
- Fasting blood glucose: 80–130 mg/dL
- Postprandial: Less than 180 mg/dL
- A1C (average over 3 months): Less than 7% (or as recommended by your doctor)
-
For prediabetes:
- Fasting blood glucose: 100–125 mg/dL
- A1C: 5.7% to 6.4%
Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized targets based on your health condition.
