Is 5.4 a normal blood sugar level in the morning?

Question

My mum's a Type 2 diabetic and she sometimes check my blood sugar levels from time to time even though I've not been diagnosed to be a diabetic myself. I'm usually around about 4.5 before breakfast but I've been tested as 5.4 this time round and now it's got her worried. I read somewhere that menstruation affects sugar levels and I haven't had my period yet. So... should I be concerned?

Answer 3

After a 12 hour fast, a range of 3.9 to 6.5 mmol/l (70.2 to 117 mg/dl) is normal. (a level of 6.7 to 7 mmol/l (120.6 to 126 mg/dl) is considered a sign of prediabetes)

To convert blood glucose readings:- Divide the mg/dL by 18 to get mmol/L. Multiply the mmol/L by 18 to get mg/dL.

mmol/L = millimoles per litre.

mg/dL = milligrams per decilitre.

Answer 4

Blood sugar levels should range from 4-7 in the morning. There should be no need for you to check the levels if you are not diagnosed as being such.

There are a number of medical condition and natural bodily processes that may have effect of the sugar levels. if you are cocerned then you should speak to a diabetic specialist  nurse, who will be able to give you all the advice you seek.

I am diabetic and yeah thats perfectly fine even though you're not actually diabetic.

As long as it's between 4-7 its normal, so don't worry if it sometimes changes.
