Hello doctors, I was wondering what the normal blood glucose levels are for a 17 year old female who weighs 187 lbs. I understand that her wieight is an issue as well, but please answer the question. I was wondering this because she seems to be less focused and feel tired.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. Normal value of random blood sugar should be less than 140 mg/DL. If the level of sugar is between 140 mg/DL and 200 mg/DL, the patient is diagnosed with prediabetes. If the level exceeds 200 mg/DL, then the patient is diagnosed with diabetes. Fasting Blood Sugar (8 hrs fasting is required)- It is the first test performed to diagnose diabetes. The normal range for people with no diabetes is lower than 100 milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood (mg/DL). If the level of glucose in the blood is between 100 mg/DL and 125 mg/DL, this indicates that the patient has a condition known as prediabetes. My dear friend, I advise you for FBS, PPBS and Urine test if you are suspecting diabetes. She should start daily brisk walking for 30 minutes and decrease fatty foods. Thanx for query.
