What is the normal range for blood glucose? NEED TO BE ANSWERD QUICKLY!!?!
Question: I NEED TO BE answerd QUICKLY!!
Answers:
Normal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your health professional will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and medical history.
Fasting blood glucose: 70-99 milligrams per deciliter or less than 5.5 mmol/L
2 hours after eating: 70-145 mg/dL (less than 7.9 mmol/L)
Random (casual): 70-125 mg/dL (less than 7.0 mmol/L)

If it's over 14 GO TO THE DOCTOR
It depends on whether you have fasted or not.
between 70 and 110.

my dad is a diabetic
70-100 fasting for 3 or 4 hours. what is yours?
If it is that important, get to the doctor or the emergency room.
around 100
118
i don't know
Normally, blood glucose levels stay within narrow limits throughout the day: 4 to 8mmol/l. But they are higher after meals and usually lowest in the morning.
"The fasting blood glucose level in the early morning is normally 80 to 90 mg/100ml, and 110 mg/100 ml is considered to be the upper limit of normal."

80 to 120 mg/dl
The normal blood sugar for a non-diabetic is 70-110. If it is greater than 120 more than twice, you are pre-diabetic (but less than 160).
If you are diabetic..less than 60 needs something sweet. If it is greater than 200, then you need to take your medication, take insulin if it is prescribed or modify your diet to control your sugars better.
Long term elevated sugars lead to increased illness (in non-medical terms). If your sugar is greater than 500.you need to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. That means in the next couple of hours. If it is greater than 900, go to the hospital.
That is the answer in a short summary.
In a normal (ie, non-diabetic) person, blood glucose should be between perhaps 80 milligrams glucose / deciliter of blood to about 110 mg/dl. In a normal person (ie, non-diabetic) that level will go up after a meal to perhaps 120 or 130 or so. And will rapidly come back down to the usual value after perhaps 2 hours.
So the answer is (fasting -- meaning no food for 3-4 hours) 80 - 110 mg/dl. Another way of giving the SAME readings is commonly used in Europe, and will be something on the order of 5-8 mmol/kg. Like reporting that your car needed 10 gallons when you filled up (or 40 liters). same thing.
Diabetes is now diagnosed if you have a single fasting reading of 126 mg/dl or higher. The test is usually repeated to be sure there wasn't an error in technique. it's also diagnosable if there is ever a reaing above 200 mg/dl, or if you fail an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (a measured amount of glucose in a water solution (tastes really icky sweet) on a fasting stomach, and then measurements of blood glucose three or four times in the next two hours).
Blood glucose much lower than, say, 70 mg/dl can be a problem in some people. They begin to sweat, behave erratically, and at the worst, faint. If prolonged sufficiently and severly, it can cause brain damage or death. It's called hypoglycemia and becomes more likely the lower the blood glucose value goes. The remedy is to ingest some carbohydrate. Iced tea (sweetened with sugar), skim milk (the fat in regular milk slows down obsorption), a glucose tablet, or a real sugar packet or two. Diet anything will NOT do the trick. And anyhting with much fat or protein (eg, a cangy bar or a sweetened protein drink) will take far longer to be absorbed.
At the other end of the glucose range, anything above the normal values (except briefly after food) won;t cause symptoms until it gets very high. 300mg/dl is a commonly quoted figure, but individual reactions vary. The symptoms are similar (eg, sewating, modd disturbances, and in the extreme, unconsciousness), but the treatment is much different. This is hyperglycemia and should not be treated at home. If serious, or if symptoms are pronounced, it requires supervision of a doctor while the blood glucose is brought back down.
If you have diabetes, it must be treated. Depending on the kind you have, it may require insulin immediately (type 1) or 9type 2) perhaps only diet and exercise. some type 2s go on to require oral mecidation (pills or one kind or another) and some eventually require insulin injections. Diabetes is not something that must be treated RIGHT NOW (unless your have hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic symptoms), but can wait a week or two before seeing a doctor. Do not delay much beyond that however.
Best of luck.
