What is the normal fasting Glucose range?

• A. 70-100
• B. 60-90
• C. 80-110
• D. 90-120

Answer: (A)

Normal fasting glucose is the blood glucose level after no caloric intake for about 8 hours. The standard reference range is roughly 70 to 100 mg/dL (about 3.9 to 5.6 mmol/L). Values below 70 mg/dL can cause symptoms of hypoglycemia, while staying above 100 mg/dL—especially approaching 125 mg/dL or higher on a repeat test—suggests impaired fasting glucose or diabetes risk. The other ranges exceed the typical upper limit or dip below the widely accepted normal cutoffs, so they aren’t considered the standard normal fasting range.
