Normal blood glucose levels vary depending on whether you are fasting or have recently eaten. Here are the general guidelines:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
- Postprandial Blood Sugar (1-2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
These ranges are for adults without diabetes. If you have diabetes or prediabetes, your target ranges may differ, and you should consult your healthcare provider for personalized goals.
