The normal blood sugar levels for individuals with diabetes are typically categorized as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals): 80–130 mg/dL
  • Postprandial Blood Sugar (1-2 hours after meals): Less than 180 mg/dL
  • A1C (average blood sugar over 2-3 months): Less than 7% for most adults with diabetes

These targets may vary depending on individual health conditions, age, and other factors. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized goals.
