Normal fasting is about 83 (range may be in high 70s up to high 80s)
After eating completely normal is < 100, but mst won't consider a problem if it is less than 120.

Post eating greater than 140 is a concern and needs to be addressed with diet, exercise, and medications, if necessary.

Fasting levels in a regular, healthy person should be around 72 and 100. Doesn't matter if what age or gender.
over 100 and below 126, is pre-diabetic, over 126 is diabetic.

Again, this is not intended to be and should not be interpreted as medical advice or a diagnosis of any health, condition or disease. Best thing to do is check with a medical personnel.
