what is the blood sugar range for type 2 diabetes

For individuals with type 2 diabetes, blood sugar levels are typically categorized as follows:

• Normal (Non-Diabetic):

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: Less than 100 mg/dL
  • Postprandial (2 hours after eating): Less than 140 mg/dL

• Prediabetes:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Postprandial: 140–199 mg/dL

• Diabetes:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: 126 mg/dL or higher
  • Postprandial: 200 mg/dL or higher

Additionally, the A1C test is used to measure average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months:

• Normal: Below 5.7%
• Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
• Diabetes: 6.5% or higher

It's important to work with your healthcare provider to set personalized blood sugar targets based on your health condition and treatment plan.
