Blood sugar, or glucose, is the main sugar found in your blood.
It comes from the food you eat and is your body’s main source of energy. Your blood carries glucose to all of your body’s cells to use for energy.
A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes.
A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
