[URL]https://diabeticmediterraneandiet.com/what-is-normal-blood-sugar/[/URL] [B]What Is a Normal Blood Sugar Level?[/B] The following numbers refer to average blood sugar (glucose) levels in venous plasma, as measured in a lab. Portable home glucose meters measure sugar in capillary whole blood. Many, but not all, meters in 2010 are calibrated to compare directly to venous plasma levels. Fasting blood sugar after a night of sleep and before breakfast: 85 mg/dl (4.72 mmol/l) One hour after a meal: 110 mg/dl (6.11 mmol/l) Two hours after a meal: 95 mg/dl (5.28 mmol/l) Five hours after a meal: 85 mg/dl (4.72 mmol/l) (The aforementioned meal derives 50–55% of its energy from carbohydrate) [B]Ranges of blood sugar for young healthy non-diabetic adults:[/B] [B]Fasting blood sugar[/B]: 70–90 mg/dl (3.89–5.00 mmol/l) [B]One hour after a typical meal[/B]: 90–125 mg/dl (5.00–6.94 mmol/l) [B]Two hours after a typical meal[/B]: 90–110 mg/dl (5.00–6.11 mmol/l) [B]Five hours after a typical meal[/B]: 70–90 mg/dl (3.89–5.00 mmol/l) Blood sugars tend to be a bit [URL='https://diabeticmediterraneandiet.com/2010/03/15/review-gestational-diabetes/']lower in pregnant women[/URL].
