Normal Blood Sugar Levels
Levels (Ranges) In
Adults with Diabetes
A person who is does not have a normal glucose range of 72-99 mg/dL
while fasting and up to 140 mg/dL about 2 hours after eating. People
with diabetes who have well-controlled glucose levels with medications
have a different target glucose range. These people may have a fasting
range of about 100 mg/dL or less and 180 mg/dL about 2 hours after
eating. If a person’s diabetes is not well controlled, the person may have
much higher glucose ranges or hypoglycemia (for example, 200 -400
mg/d; however some people with diabetes have blood sugar levels that
are much higher.
