QUESTION: I WANT TO KNOW DIABETES LEVEL AFTER FOODING & FASTING FOR THE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS.

  • Fasting Blood Glucose



    • Children - 70 - 110 mg/dL (Normal); >130 mg/dL (Diabetes).

    Adults - 70 - 100 mg/dL (Normal); >126 mg/dL (Diabetes).

    Pregnant women - 70 - 130 mg/dL (Normal); >140 mg/dL (Diabetes).

  • Blood Sugar After Eating

    According to the latest ADA guidelines for 2011, the blood sugar levels should be individualized, i.e. each person has its own "normal" or "diabetic" blood glucose readings.
