For most adults with diabetes, after-dinner blood sugar under 180 mg/dL at 1–2 hours is the usual target; under 140 mg/dL is typical for many without diabetes.

For most adults with diabetes, post-lunch blood sugar targets are under 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L) when checked 1–2 hours after the meal.

For most nonpregnant adults with diabetes, post-prandial blood sugar is under 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L) at 1–2 hours after the start of a meal.

A normal respiratory rate at rest is 12–20 breaths per minute in healthy adults; babies and kids breathe faster, and sleep or exertion shifts the rate.

For adults, a normal platelet count is 150,000–450,000 per microliter; lower is thrombocytopenia, higher is thrombocytosis.

For most healthy people, a normal blood oxygen level (SpO₂) sits around 95%–100%, with context like altitude, sleep, and illness shifting the target.

For most adults, a normal resting pulse rate is 60–100 beats per minute; kids run higher and trained athletes can sit lower.
