Re: Normal Blood Sugar.

I don't know that there is a concrete answer to that. One lab manual will tell you one range and another manual, something else. It is also going to vary by facility.

If you are just looking for a flat out blood glucose "normal" range for an adult who is fasting, I have been told 60-110 and 70-120. Again it varies also on age and whether it is fasting, postprandial etc.

You will find all the numbers and parameters you are looking for on these webpages:The above information is from the A to Z topic list on the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (http://www.diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/a-z.asp) which is part of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/) of the National Institutes of Health.
