what is good glucose

A good glucose level depends on whether you are fasting or have recently eaten. Here are general guidelines:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

• Postprandial Blood Sugar (2 hours after eating):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

Maintaining blood sugar within these ranges is crucial for overall health. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized targets.
