The normal range for blood sugar levels varies depending on the test used. Here are the general guidelines for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring:

- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
-
Fasting Blood Sugar Test:
- Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
-
Random Blood Sugar Test:
- Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher (with symptoms of diabetes)
These ranges are used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and interpretation of your results.
