Don't worry: Your blood glucose results are in the normal range. To maintain good health, exercise about 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week, have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, legumes, lentils, beans, small amounts of lean meats, low fat milk products, limit saturated fats, no tobacco and no more than one alcoholic drink a day.

Good beta cells: All these values are normal. Your fasting glu is determined by your liver, which puts out glucose when you are not eating. After a meal, your pancreatic beta cells make insulin, and if they are in good shape, and if you do not go wild with a sugar diet, then your blood glucose may not change much after a meal.
