what is the ideal glucose level

The ideal glucose level varies depending on whether you are fasting or have recently eaten. Here are the general guidelines:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
• Postprandial Blood Sugar (1-2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
• A1C (average over 2-3 months): Below 5.7% (for non-diabetics)

For individuals with diabetes, the target levels may differ based on their treatment plan and health conditions. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized targets.
