Normal Blood Sugar.

[tigress_8207, ASN, BSN]

Hi can someone please tell me the normal blood sugar range.Thanks.

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.
