The average blood sugar level can vary depending on whether you are measuring it over a short period (e.g., daily) or a longer period (e.g., 3 months). Here are the general guidelines:
- Normal Blood Sugar Levels (Fasting): 70–99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter)
- Normal Blood Sugar Levels (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL
- A1C Levels (3-month average):
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
For people with diabetes, the target A1C level is typically below 7%, but this may vary based on individual health conditions and doctor recommendations.
