what is diabetes glucose level

Diabetes glucose levels refer to the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood, which is a key indicator of diabetes management. Here are the general ranges:

• Normal: Below 100 mg/dL (fasting) or below 140 mg/dL (2 hours after eating)
• Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (fasting) or 140–199 mg/dL (2 hours after eating)
• Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting) or 200 mg/dL or higher (2 hours after eating)

For A1C levels, which reflect average blood sugar over 2–3 months:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or higher

These values help diagnose and monitor diabetes. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized targets.
