What Is The Normal Blood Glucose Level?
Hello doctors,
I was wondering what the normal blood glucose levels are for a 17 year old female who weighs 187 lbs. I understand that her wieight is an issue as well, but please answer the question. I was wondering this because she seems to be less focused and feel tired.

Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
Normal value of random blood sugar should be less than 140 mg/dl.
If the level of sugar is between 140 mg/dL and 200 mg/dL, the patient is diagnosed with prediabetes. If the level exceeds 200 mg/dL, then the patient is diagnosed with diabetes.
Fasting Blood Sugar (8 hrs fasting is required)- It is the first test performed to diagnose diabetes. The normal range for people with no diabetes is lower than 100 milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood (mg/dL). If the level of glucose in the blood is between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL, this indicates that the patient has a condition known as prediabetes.
My dear friend , i advise you for FBS, PPBS and Urine test if you are suspecting diabetes.
She should start daily brisk walking for 30 minutes and decrease fatty foods .
Thanx for query.
