What Is The Normal Blood Sugar Level?

I m 42 years old, what is a normal blood sugar for me. I ate lunch at 12:00 and an hour later I got shaky, sweaty, and weak feeling. I checked my sugar and it was 76. I ate a Boston but sandwich for lunch and drank water. At 10:00, I ate some Chex Mix. That is all I ve had today.
