A normal fasting blood glucose level in the morning (before eating) typically falls within the following range:

  • Normal Range: 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L)

If your fasting blood glucose level is consistently higher than this range, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Here’s a quick reference:

Condition Fasting Blood Glucose Level

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

It’s important to consult your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice if your levels are outside the normal range.
