Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Blood sugar levels are affected by various factors, including the amount of activity, the content of food consumed and how long it's been since eating or being active. A lot of activity can bring glucose levels down and eating foods that contain a high number of carbohydrates can raise blood sugar levels. For most people, the pancreas will produce the insulin hormone to balance out blood sugar levels.
For a 18 month old blood sugar levels from 70 to 170 mg/dl is considered normal.
So if your child is active and playful and no known illness there is no need to worry.
Wishing your child good health.
