glucose numbers and what they mean
In a person with signs and symptoms of diabetes or hyperglycemia, a non-fasting glucose level (random blood sample) that is equal to or greater than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) indicates diabetes. The following information summarizes the meaning of other test results.
Fasting glucose (blood sugar) Healthy range: 70 to 99 mg/dL for the average adult (the elderly tend to score higher even when they are healthy) Blood sugar levels can be affected by food or beverages you have ingested recently, your current stress levels, medications you may be taking, and the time of day.
