What is the normal fasting blood glucose range for a person who does not have diabetes?

40 to 70 mg/dl
70 to 100 mg/dl
100 to 130 mg/dl
130 to 160 mg/dl

The correct answer is: 70 to 100 mg/dl

The correct range for normal fasting blood glucose levels in individuals without diabetes is indeed 70 to 100 mg/dl. This range indicates proper glucose regulation in the body and reflects how well the body can manage blood sugar levels after a period of fasting, typically defined as at least eight hours without food. The other options present ranges that do not align with established medical guidelines for normal fasting glucose levels. Blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dl might indicate hypoglycemia, while levels above 100 mg/dl may suggest an impaired fasting glucose state or potential prediabetes. The ranges over 100 mg/dl indicate progressively higher risk for diabetes or glucose intolerance, which is why they are not considered normal. Thus, the choice that encompasses healthy fasting glucose management is the correct selection.
