What are The Ideal Blood Sugar Levels? 

Ideal blood sugar levels are crucial for overall health and the prevention of diabetes-related complications. These levels vary throughout the day and are influenced by whether a person has eaten. The following are general guidelines for ideal blood sugar levels:

Fasting Blood Sugar Levels: Before meals and in the morning (fasting), blood sugar levels are typically considered normal when they fall between 70-100 mg/dL. Fasting levels above this range may indicate impaired fasting glucose or diabetes.

Postprandial (After Meals) Blood Sugar Levels: After meals, blood sugar levels should ideally be below 140 mg/dL. Elevated postprandial levels may suggest impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes. Continuous spikes in postprandial blood sugar can contribute to long-term complications.
