Blood sugar 95 mg/dL
95 mg/dL is in the normal fasting range and within the normal range up to two hours after a meal.
Where 95 sits
If this was a fasting reading
NormalAs a fasting reading, 95 mg/dL sits inside the normal range of 70 to 99 mg/dL, 4 mg/dL below the top of the range.
If this was after a meal
NormalOne to two hours after eating, 95 mg/dL is within the normal range: readings under 140 mg/dL are typical, and this one is 45 mg/dL under that line.
Across the day
Across the day, 95 mg/dL sits inside the 70 to 180 mg/dL band that time in range is usually measured against.
What to do next
One reading is a data point. The useful question is whether 95 mg/dL is your usual or an outlier, and only a short run of readings can answer that: check at the same times for a week and look at the pattern, not any single number.

General information, not medical advice. Reference ranges follow the ADA diagnostic criteria; a single meter reading is not a diagnosis, which requires laboratory testing, usually confirmed on two occasions. See how we calculate.
Stop looking numbers up one at a time
A page can tell you what a reading means in general. Your own log tells you what it means for you: log a reading in seconds and SteadyRange shows your time in range, estimated A1C, and the patterns behind them, on a private log you control.
