For a 71-year-old man, normal blood glucose levels are generally similar to those for adults of other ages. Here are the typical ranges:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals): 70–99 mg/dL
- Postprandial (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL
- A1C (average over 3 months): Below 5.7%
However, individual targets may vary based on health conditions, medications, and other factors. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate glucose levels for your specific situation.
