A truly normal fasting blood sugar (which is also the blood sugar a normal person will see if they have not eaten for a few hours) is:Between 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/L) and 92 mg/dl (5.0 mmol/L) .This is the finding of a considerable body of research. People whose blood sugar tests at this level do not develop diabetes over the next decade or longer. Those with supposedly normal blood sugars above 92 mg/dl often do. Nevertheless, most doctors consider any fasting blood sugar below 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/L) as completely normalPost-Meal Blood Sugar (Postprandial)Independent of what they eat, the blood sugars of truly normal people are:Under 120 mg/dl (6.6 mmol/L) one or two hours after a meal.Most normal people are under 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/L) two hours after eating."BTW my last A1c came out much higher than I expected from my home readings.</blockquote>
