Normal fasting blood sugar

Pre-meal blood sugar is a laboratory test that helps diagnose diabetes as well as pre-diabetes. In addition, preprandial blood glucose was continuously investigated during the treatment of patients with diabetes.

Pre-meal blood sugar is a blood sugar reading taken in the early morning, when the patient has not eaten for at least 8 hours. This is valuable to help diagnose as well as monitor and treat patients with diabetes.
According to the recommendation from the American Diabetes Association ADA, if you are over 45 years old and do not have any risk factors for diabetes, you should have a pre-meal blood sugar test every 2-3 years to monitor your health. best.

In case the patient is suffering from pre-diabetes or diabetes, it is necessary to check the blood sugar index before eating every month and closely follow the instructions of the doctor.

For normal people, normal fasting blood sugar is 3.9 - 5.5 mmol/l. If the pre-prandial blood sugar is in the range of 5.6 - 6.9 mmol/l, the patient may be in the pre-diabetic stage.
To diagnose diabetes can be based on the pre-meal blood glucose index by fasting the patient for 8 hours, then measuring the fasting plasma glucose concentration, if ≥ 7mmol/l or ≥ 126mg/dl 2 times on 2 separate days, 1-7 days apart, confirm the diagnosis.
On the contrary, if the pre-meal blood sugar is 3.9 mmol/l or < 70 mg/dl, the patient will fall into a state of hypoglycemia, the obvious clinical manifestation is hunger pangs, trembling hands and feet, and vomiting. a lot of sweat...
