A member asked:
Hoping you can tell me, is blood sugar of 1.6mmo/l or 26(american reading) dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are: On diabetes medication, it is obviously too low. Otherwise, in the absence of kidney or liver disease, end-state cancer, etc, it was probably an error in the glucose reading. If it was a finger-stick blood sugar it may be totally unreliable and need to be confirmed by a real blood sugar drawn from a vein.
