What is normal blood glucose range?


A normal fasting blood glucose target range for an individual without diabetes is 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L). The American Diabetes Association recommends a fasting plasma glucose level of 70–130 mg/dL (3.9-7.2 mmol/L) and after meals less than 180 

mg/dL (10 mmBlood sugar levels chart for diabetics (goal blood sugar levels)

====================================

Blood Sugar Levels	Indication
Less than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)	Low fasting blood sugar
70 to 108 mg/dL (3.9 to 6 mmol/L)	Normal fasting blood sugar for adults
110 to 125 mg/dL (6.1 to 6.9 mmol/L)	Impaired fasting glucose (pre-diabetes)

What is the level of sugar in blood for a normal person?

The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 5.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL); however, this level fluctuates throughout the day. Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol/L (125 mg/dL).

What does it mean to have high blood sugar?

In a person with signs and symptoms of diabetes or hyperglycemia, a non-fastingglucose level (random blood sample) that is equal to or greater than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) indicates diabetes. The following information summarizes themeaning of other test results.Jan 16, 2017

What is normal blood sugar after eating?

A normal fasting glucose is 60 to 100 milligrams per deciliter; your levels shouldrise no higher than 200 mg/dl one hour after eating and no more than 140 mg/dl two hours after finishing the snack. Most healthy people without diabetes have two-hour readings below 120 mg/dl.

What is a good fasting blood sugar?

Fasting blood sugar test. ... A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes.

Some medical tests report results in millimoles per litre (mmol/L). A mole is an amount of a substance that contains a large number (6 followed by 23 zeros) of molecules or atoms. A millimole is one-thousandth of a mole. A litre measures fluid volume.

Both sets of units are used to measure blood sugar levels and both give a measurement of the concentration of glucose in the blood, albeit in slightly different ways.

mmol/L gives the molarity, which is the number of molecules of a substance within a specified volume, in this case within 1 litre. mg/dL gives the concentration by the ratio of weight to volume, in this case milligrams per decilitre.

mmol/L is the most common measurement used in the UK with mg/dL predominantly used in the USA and continental Europe.

• mmol/LInternational standard unit for measuring the concentration of glucose in the blood - also known as millimolar (mM). This unit is used in the UK.: Millimoles per litre
• mg/dLUnit for measuring concentration of glucose in the blood in the USA - milligrams per decilitre.: Milligrams per 100 millilitres

Blood glucose typically varies from 4 mmol/L to 6 mmol/L for people without diabetes.

Blood sugar (also called blood glucose) needs to be tightly controlled in the human body to minimise the risk of complications developing.

• Formula to calculate mmol/l from mg/dl: mmol/l = mg/dl / 18
• Formula to calculate mg/dl from mmol/l: mg/dl = 18 × mmol/l

What is a normal blood sugar level for a nondiabetic?

Normal and diabetic blood sugar ranges. For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows: Between 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L (72 to 108 mg/dL) when fasting. Up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating.
