what is the average glucose level for a woman

The average glucose level for a woman, as measured by the A1C test, is generally the same as for men. The A1C test reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Here are the typical ranges:

• Normal: Below 5.7% (corresponding to an average glucose level of less than 117 mg/dL)
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% (117–137 mg/dL)
• Diabetes: 6.5% or above (140 mg/dL or higher)

For most adults, including women, the target A1C level is below 7%, which corresponds to an average glucose level of about 154 mg/dL. However, individual targets may vary based on health conditions and doctor recommendations.
