What are normal blood glucose levels for women?

Normal blood glucose levels for both male and female nondiabetic adult patients typically range from approximately 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L before a meal and under 7.8 mmol/L 2 hours after a meal, according to Diabetes.co.uk For Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics, levels are typically kept to 4 to 7 mmol/L before a meal.

Additionally, Type 1 diabetics should have a blood glucose level under 9 mmol/L 2 hours after a meal, while Type 2 diabetics should have levels under 8.5 mmol/L. In addition to the above guidelines, blood glucose levels from 6.0 to 6.9 mmol/L may be suggestive of prediabetes or impaired glucose glycemia, explains Diabetes.co.uk
