daily.The levels certainly change depending on time, activity, to eating patterns.So, what is the normal blood sugar level?
Maintaining blood sugar levels stable is not only important for diabetics, but also for anyone who wants to live a healthy life.
Blood sugar is a medical term to show the amount of glucose in the blood.Glucose itself is the main source of energy for the body, and the amount is usually measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl).
Blood sugar levels can change throughout the day.For example, glucose levels will usually rise after eating and down while fasting or exercising.Therefore, understanding of the normal range is very important to detect earlier the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
Normal blood sugar levels
In general, the following range of blood sugar levels is considered normal for healthy people.
Before eating (fasting): 70-100 mg/dl
1-2 hours after eating: Less than 140 mg/dl
At any time: less than 200 mg/dl
For long-term monitoring, HBA1C examination in the laboratory can provide an overview of the average blood sugar level in the last two to three months.
Normal blood sugar based on age
Blood sugar levels can vary depending on age.Children tend to experience fluctuations due to high activity and irregular eating patterns, while the elderly can experience disruption of blood sugar regulation due to health factors and medicines.
According to the American Diabetes Association, the following range is recommended based on age and condition.
1. Adult and child with type 2 diabetes

1-2 hours after eating: Under 180 mg/dl
2. Children with type 1 diabetes
