-
Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
-
Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L)
-
Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests
2. Postprandial (After-Meal) Blood Sugar Test
-
What it is: Blood sugar checked 2 hours after eating.
-
Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
-
Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher
3. HbA1c Test (Glycated Hemoglobin)
-
What it is: Shows your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months.
-
Normal: Below 5.7%

-
Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL
