what is good blood sugar range

A good blood sugar range depends on whether you are fasting, have eaten recently, or have diabetes. Here are general guidelines:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals):

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

• Postprandial Blood Sugar (2 hours after eating):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

• A1C Levels (average blood sugar over 2–3 months):

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

Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized targets, especially if you have diabetes or other health conditions.
