The normal range for blood glucose levels varies depending on the type of test and whether you have eaten recently. Here are the general guidelines:

  • Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG): 70–99 mg/dL (3.9–5.5 mmol/L)
  • Postprandial (after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
  • Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c): Below 5.7%

These ranges are used to assess whether your blood sugar levels are within a healthy range. If your levels are consistently outside these ranges, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Always consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.
