A good fasting glucose level in the morning (before eating) typically falls within the following ranges:

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests

It's important to note that individual targets may vary based on factors like age, overall health, and diabetes management plans. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
