A good average daily glucose level depends on whether you have diabetes, prediabetes, or are managing your blood sugar for general health. Here are general guidelines:

  • For non-diabetic individuals:

    • Fasting blood sugar: 70–99 mg/dL
    • Post-meal (1–2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL
  • For people with diabetes:

    • Fasting blood sugar: 80–130 mg/dL
    • Post-meal (1–2 hours after eating): Less than 180 mg/dL
  • A1C levels (average blood sugar over 2–3 months):

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

Your target range may vary based on your health condition, age, and treatment plan. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized goals.
