Peter Warren - Well, I worked with the Welsh ambulance Service for 10 years and i was taught that 4 to 7 mmol was normal, but mine was often under 3, so, (how do I shrug my shoulders on a keyboard?)
DGS - Actually it is difficult to give the normal reference range for Random Bl Sugar as it is vague and no reference to quantity of food taken or the timing. Postprandial bl sugar are normally taken 1 1/2 hours and WHO states 2 hours. Fasting is nothing by mouth excepting water for 10 hours before giving a blood sample. So it is approximately stated as 140 mg /dL. If a person shows this with 2 slices of bread bl sample given 20 mins, it is misleading & erroneous.
chameleonGA - The minimum is 60 mg/dl. This is the minimum for fasting blood glucose. As for maximum.. well a very carbohydrate rich diet would shoot it to 400 mg/dl (which comes back down in 2 hrs).. However, if one were to eat spoon fulls of sugar i guess it could go upto 600..
After 600 mg/dl you will start to have glucose in your urine, which is considered diabetes if its a constant thing...
so 60-400 is the range although a normal person under extreme conditions can go above 400...
chuppkaychuppkay - Shridhar, fasting blood sugar range used to be from 80 mg to 120 mg per dcL. However, the current belief is 70 mg to 110 mg per dcL
Random blood sugar depends on the nature and amount and time of dietary intake prior to the time blood sample is withdrawn besides the persons clinical condition i.e., is the person free of any disease or has conditions that may predispose him to high blood sugar such as Diabetes, Latent Diabetes, Pregnancy, Stress, other Endocrine disorders such as Cushings Syndrome, Hyper and Hypo Pituitary functional disorders and a host of other medical conditions that raise and at times lower blood sugar levels after eating.
In the normal situations it (random blood sugar level) should be around or less than 140 mg per dL, any thing above that needs thorough medical evaluation and proper medical care, advise and treatment.
Also it is important to refer to the testing laboratory's normal range.
Any questions please do not hesitate to drop a line.
