For most healthy individuals without diabetes, here are the general guidelines for blood sugar levels: * Fasting (after not eating for at least 8 hours): 4.0 to 5.4 \text{ mmol/L} (72 to 99 \text{ mg/dL}) * 2 hours after eating: Up to 7.8 \text{ mmol/L} (140 \text{ mg/dL}) It's important to note thaRead more

* 2 hours after eating: Up to 7.8 \text{ mmol/L} (140 \text{ mg/dL})
It’s important to note that:
* Prediabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar is between 5.6 to 6.9 \text{ mmol/L} (100 to 125 \text{ mg/dL}) or a 2-hour post-meal level is between 7.8 to 11.0 \text{ mmol/L} (140 to 199 \text{ mg/dL}).
* Diabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar is 7.0 \text{ mmol/L} (126 \text{ mg/dL}) or higher on two separate tests, or a 2-hour post-meal level is 11.1 \text{ mmol/L} (200 \text{ mg/dL}) or higher.
* The HbA1c test measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. For healthy individuals, an HbA1c level should be below 5.7\% (39 \text{ mmol/mol}).
These values can vary slightly depending on the source and individual factors like age and lifestyle. If you have any concerns about your blood sugar levels, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
