Is Blood Sugar Level Of 110 Before Food In A Child Normal?
Question: Hi I checked my 9 years old sons blood suger it came 110 in the morning before eating is it normal?
Brief Answer:
Check in Lab again
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
Fasting sugar of 110 is not in diabetes range. However, > 100 and < 126 falls in pre diabetes range. I must say that, if you have checked it by a glucometer, check again in a lab along with an HbA1c . Glucometer is only a tool for monitoring sugars, not for diagnosis
