Depends: While the actual numbers for blood sugar for children & adults are the same, studies have found that children will have symptoms (lack of focus, irritable, shakiness, insomnia, temper) of low blood sugar at a higher number than adults will. Testing for low blood sugar is difficult as the number will always be normal since the body releases adrenaline and instantly raises blood sugar to normal.
