Normal Sugar Blood Level and Diabetes Charts

First, I want you to understand that " normal sugar blood level " stands for "normal blood sugar level". Actually, the medical terms are always confounding.

Anyway, you should always obtain normal levels in each of diabetes tests: whole sugar blood level test and A1c test in order to be healthy, and of course to well-control your diabetes.

• The first test (whole blood sugar ) you may perform by yourself. In case you get high figures, start the strategies of beating diabetes naturally (which has no side effects compared to drug therapy).

But the second one ( A1c test ) is more specific and need medical approach.

All the blood sugar level figures are expressed in mg/dl ( for American bg system) and in mmol/l ( international bg system). To learn how to convert mmol/l in mg/dl, click here .

• In fasting blood sugar test , glucose levels of 100 to 125 mg/dl are considered as pre-diabetes; while levels of 126 mg/dl and above suggest the possibility of having type 1 or 2 diabetes.

How to interpret the results of the tests?

• First of all, in the whole sugar blood level test, the normal results you should look for vary from 80 to 100 mg/dl.

You can perform the simple sugar test anywhere and anytime during the day.

The sugar levels 200mg/dl and above are considered high. If the figures vary from 100 to 199 mg/dl; then most probably you may have pre-diabetes.

Meanwhile, when you get blood sugar levels higher than 200 mg/dl, you may have type 1 or 2 diabetes. You should repeat your blood glucose tests to confirm the diagnose.

• But in oral-glucose-tolerance-test, normal sugar blood level is 140 mg/dl and below; while pre-diabetes is suggested for levels from 140 to 199 mg/dl; and type 1 or 2 diabetes for 200 mg/dl and above blood sugar levels one or two hours after the test.

• Then, in A1c test, your normal blood sugar level is expressed in percentage: 4 to 6 percent. A1c levels of more than 7 percent show a bad management of your diabetes, and need for future changes.

As you may see from the diabetes charts above, only a good control of diabetes can keep your sugar blood level at an optimum (or average) and steady (near normal) range .

Overall, here's how your figures should look like (as in the following diabetes chart):
