Avatar f tn Hi, normal fasting levels for children are typically in the 65 - mid 80s range. A fasting of 104 in a child could be considered high. Her post eating numbers are not terribly high, but actually they are probably on the high side for a child. I would recommend you do stay in touch with the Dr. It is very likely that some children with diabetes develop it slowly over time.
Avatar n tn In general, if your blood sugar level is below 100 mg / dL after fasting for at least 8 to 10 hours, then your blood sugar is normal. Blood sugar levels are usually lowest before each meal.
Avatar f tn Usually, fasting begins at midnight for a test the next day. Your sugar by the standards of your lab states it was high on your first test. The repeat is normal. I am not sure if that was a fluke. I'd probably get it checked in another 6 months to see where you are at. This article may help you understand how blood sugar can fluctuate and when it is normal. https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar f tn Hi, The normal ranges are not age dependent for adults. The exceptions are for very lean young adults who can have fasting values into the 50's and still be quite normal. Your Mom's reading is quite high, so if this is a common pattern I think her medications should be adjusted. Your range is not too bad; the low of 50 is actually more concerning to me than the 150.
Avatar f tn Normal blood sugar for a child is typically in the range of 70-100, with fasting numbers in the 70s - 80s (lower than for adults). After eating it may increase, but should should not go higher than about 120. Please have this looked at by a dr if you are concerned. A 3 year old shouldn't be tired!
Avatar f tn How can I change the normal range for my fasting number, which is different from the after meal range?
Avatar n tn Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes, and I'm a proponent of checking with your doctor if you have concerns. Based upon your scores, though, you are well within the normal range for both tests. 70-99 is normal for fasting, and 70-145 is normal for postprandial. I don't think you need to be worried about lowering your blood sugars, unless your symptoms change.
Avatar f tn you look at as normal for a diabetic....you should strive for lower....however if they are within the numbers listed(which most doctors I know use for diabetics) then don't stress over it. Do your best. Exercise and watch those carbs. Learn to read labels. Good luck!

Avatar n tn i have done blood test on last month and my dibetologist asked me to take glucophage 500 on morning and januvia-100mg on night.after taking the same for 3 weeks my fasting sugar was under control.i m an IT professional.when i came to my work place ,bcz of work pressure and tensions ,my blood sugar level(fasting ) is getting high. is it possible to take tahe same with glucophage 500 mg and januvia 100mg on night? will give any issues?
Avatar n tn Would you say this is out of the normal range. I had blood work done about a month ago when I had my annual physical and my sugar level came back at 109. My doctor didn't seem to alarmed.
Avatar n tn Glycemic control A1C <7.0% Preprandial plasma glucose (before a meal) 70–130 mg/dl (5.0–7.2 mmol/l) Postprandial plasma glucose (after a meal) <180 mg/dl (<10.
Avatar f tn Your fasting blood sugars are within normal range. It is improper to test randomly as it does not provide a clear insight on how your body handles excess sugar. Part of your annual health exam should include testing for diabetes. Go see your doctor for one.
Avatar f tn A week later the surgeon repeated the tests to prepare me for surgery. The glucose level was 86 which was normal since the range used was 65-99. Three days ago my blood was drawn an hour or less after eating. The results once again read the glucose level of 115 which was high since the range used was 65-99. No one in my family has diabetes. I will see my pcp in a few days. Should I be concerned?
956931 tn?1271636169 CoWriter could you share the formula you used for the fasting blood sugar aver three months. If positudes is 123 mine must be close. How can the three month be at 123 and the glucose at 114. I am confused.
Avatar n tn ve been having troubles lately before I knew my blood sugar was high, after I would eat I would feel very bad, not knowing I had high blood sugar I was leading a normal diet, even some fast food here and there, I'm sure my blood sugar has been very very high until I started dieting now. Are those numbers normal or should I be worried?
Avatar f tn It should be done 2 hours after eating. Additionally, a blood sugar of 12 and 18 are extremely low. Normal blood sugar is 65-110. I f your son's sugar falls below that he should be see by a doctor.
Avatar n tn t worry about that number at this time. A blood sugar (BG) of 165 fasting would concern me but not 2.5 hours post a high-carb meal. The bedwetting is a different story. Did you test his BG after those incidents? I took my then 6 year old in because she wet the bed twice (many years after being potty trained) and she was diagnosed with a non-fasting blood sugar of 283. Is he extremely thirsty? Lethargic? Constantly running to the bathroom? Those are some additional signs to watch for.
