what is glucose mg dl

Glucose mg/dL refers to the concentration of glucose (sugar) in the blood, measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). It is a common unit used to measure blood sugar levels. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Normal Range: Typically, fasting blood glucose levels should be between 70-99 mg/dL.
• Prediabetes: Fasting blood glucose levels between 100-125 mg/dL indicate prediabetes.
• Diabetes: Fasting blood glucose levels of 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests indicate diabetes.

Monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial for managing diabetes and preventing complications. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
