Doctor insights on: Normal Blood Sugar Levels For Men

No specific question: The fasting blood sugar results you are providing do indeed point to diabetes. Are you under the care of a physician and being treated for the diabetes? If you are on medication I would advise that you follow up with your physician to discuss your results. Heed the lifestyle advice that your doctor gives you, changing your diet and exercising will greatly affect you long term outcome.

Blood sugar: 20 years old person blood sugar level should be bet 70-110.

Fasting glucose: Blood glucose, after an overnight fast should be below 100 mg/dl. Blood sugar between 100-125 is pre-diabetes.

Same as for adults!: They should be lowe, actually, since Insulin resistance should be less, although it increases with age. What I am giving in numbers is the absolute highest they can be! Fasting, below 100 mg. Hgba1c below 5.6%. The lower these numbers are the better!

Blood sugar level: 70-120 would be best.

70-100mg: Normally the fasting blood sugar remains between 60 to 90mg and post eating sugars go up between 120 to 170mg.

Diabetic: How long have you had diabetes. If it was recent in years you would be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The goal of type 2 diabetes is to get your blood sugar under control and gradually get rid of it once your diabetes has gonE

Yes: It takes time for your boby to adjust to a normal sugar level. That's why we always recommend a gradual approach rather than a quick fix.

Insulin resistance: Patients with resistance to insulin, including early type 2 diabetes have high Insulin levels with normal or elevated blood glucose. We do not routinely test for Insulin levels as it is usually not relevant to diagnosis or management.

Fasting vs nonfastin: Fasting blood sugar level should be between 60-99 (some lab range is up to 110). 100-124 is considered glucose intolerance, and 125 or above is diabetic. Testing for a protein product called a1c is useful. Any random sugar level above 200 is also considered diabetes. Right after meal sugar can be high-up to 160 within first hour. Anyway, I suggest checking with doc for eval. Good luck.

Yes: In earlier stages of insulin resistance you can have normal blood sugar fasting and random Most of the people with insulin resistance their muscle, fat and liver cells do not respond properly to Insulin and can not absorp glucose from the blood stream. As a result Beta cells in Pancreas try to compensate and make more insulin and blood sugar stays normal till beta cells fail&people develop Diabetes

Absolutely!: Insulin resistance (ir) is a problem at the cellular level between Insulin and sugar metabolism. The body compensates for this by producing more insulin, to keep the sugars under control. So until you burn out over 50% of your Insulin producing beta islet cells in the pancreas, sugars will be normal. This early phase is when heart attacks and strokes happen unfortunately, so take it seriously!

65-99: If above 100 that's abnormal

65-100: 65-100 when drawn out of a vein while fasting. Various authorities have different "normal" levels. There are, however, no exact cut-offs, it's all a continuium. See diabetes.Org for more into.

70-110: Usually 70-110 in healthy non-diabetic person.

Blood sugar level: It depends whether it is fasting or non-fasting. The upper limit of normal for a fasting blood glucose is 99 mg. After food or juice intake, 130 mg may not be high.

Blood sugar: Mean level is 5.5mmol/l or 100mg./dl., although it fluctuates during the day where it rises after meals. The normal fasting level is 70-100 mg./dl. If not fasting, the level should not exceed 125 mg./dl. For diabetics, the level should be 70-130 fasting, or less than 180 after meals.

Meat and veggies: Eat only meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry and low starch veggies, drink only water. In other words avoid all carbs, carbs will only briefly raise your sugar levels and then you will get hungry again. The fats in the meat or fish or cheese or eggs or poultry will act like a "log on your metabolic fire" to keep your blood sugar stable for hours.

Information: The norma range is 80-110 mg%.
