What should non diabetic blood sugar levels be?

Question

My husband's blood sugar was slightly elevated in a recent test, but the doctor said he's not diabetic. What should non-diabetic blood sugar levels ideally be? We want to keep an eye on it.

For non-diabetics, fasting blood sugar should generally be under 100 mg/dL, and after-meal levels should be below 140 mg/dL. I keep a close check on this for my son because of our family history. It is always good to monitor it once in a while.

I get so anxious checking my sugar levels at home, even a small change makes me panic. Generally, under 100 fasting is normal, but if you see any sudden weird readings, don't keep searching online like I do. Just get a proper lab test done for peace of mind.

Ananya Joshi · Answer

Usually, fasting is expected to be below 100, but with insulin resistance in PCOS, things can be tricky. Even if your blood sugar looks normal, your insulin levels might be high. It is always safer to get an HbA1c test done and discuss it with your doctor.

Saraswati Hegde · Answer

A healthy body normally keeps fasting sugar below 100. Along with a simple home diet, practicing regular pranayama like Kapalbhati and Mandukasana has personally helped many in our yoga group maintain their blood sugar levels beautifully.

Rohan Malhotra · Answer

Fasting should ideally sit between 70 to 99 mg/dL. Keeping active with regular strength training and brisk walking helps keep your insulin sensitivity high, which naturally maintains these healthy levels. Just focus on a clean diet and consistent movement.
