Diabetologist,  's  Response
hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows:

Normal blood glucose level in humans is about 4 mM (4 mmol/L or 72 mg/dL)
When operating normally the body restores blood sugar levels to a range of 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L (82 to 110 mg/dL)
Shortly after a meal the blood glucose level may rise temporarily up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL)

The normal HbA1c value should be The blood sugar levels you have mentioned are fluctuating and most of the time slightly higher to normal.

You can have a consultation with family physician.

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
