If i am 78 years old what should my blood sugar be at?

Blood sugar: With age diabetes type 2 is common. Ask dr. To do hba-1c which is diagnostic for pre or diabetes. 5.9 or so to 6.4 is pre diabetic and ada considers 6.5 diabetes.At this level at least 50% or more of beta cells that produce Insulin are gone. Include in this triglyceride levels in lipid panel. 150 or grater is clue. Fasting blood sugar varies by lab100 or so, most important in type 2 is posprandia.

It depends: For any adult, normal blood sugar levels are different if you are fasting (eg first thing in the morning) or if you have eaten. Normal fasting sugars are under 100. Two hours after having a heavy meal (or the sugar dose given in a 2-hour glucose test), normal sugars should be 140 or lower. A person without diabetes should never have a blood sugar as high as 200 at any time.
