what's a good average glucose

A good average glucose level, as measured by the A1C test, typically falls within the following ranges:

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

For most people with diabetes, the target A1C level is less than 7%, which corresponds to an estimated average glucose of 154 mg/dL. However, individual targets may vary based on factors like age, health conditions, and treatment plans. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine your specific glucose goals.
