For non-diabetic individuals, a Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) percentage is typically not used, as GMI is a metric derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data and is primarily used for people with diabetes to estimate their average blood sugar levels over time. However, for non-diabetics, the focus is on maintaining normal blood sugar levels, which are generally:
- Fasting Blood Sugar: 70–99 mg/dL
- Postprandial (after meals): Less than 140 mg/dL
If you are using a CGM and calculating GMI, a non-diabetic person would likely have a GMI close to 5.4%–5.6%, which corresponds to an average glucose level of about 108–114 mg/dL. This range is considered normal and healthy for non-diabetic individuals.
Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and interpretation of your glucose data.
