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.
