Blood sugar levels vary depending on whether you are fasting, have eaten recently, or have diabetes. Here are the general ranges:
- Normal fasting blood sugar: 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
- Normal blood sugar 2 hours after eating: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- Prediabetes (fasting): 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
- Diabetes (fasting): 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher
- Diabetes (random or post-meal): 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher
For people with diabetes, target blood sugar levels may vary based on individual health conditions and treatment plans. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized targets.
