What Do My Blood Sugar Levels Indicate?

My fasting blood sugar level is usually around 98 to 106.If my mid day blood sugar level tests at 89 after a very good breakfast, is that too low? I have been experiencing light headed ness, tired, a weight on my head, dizzy, off balance at such times... YYYY@YYYY

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your fasting blood sugar level is borderline. Your random sugar level is not considered as low. As such RBS should not be used yo measures diabetes. Itbis used to rule out diabetes. You should go for fasting and post prandial blood sugar regularly. You can also go for hba1c. It will give better idea.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
