What is an acceptable blood sugar level for a man over 70? Thanks?

Blood sugar levels range from 60-120 these being acceptable levels.  Anything below 60 can cause hypoglycemia which is not acceptable due to the that one can go into a coma and suffer from seizure episodes. Then we look at the other side of the coin if the blood sugar goes way past ove 200 to 500 then a person can go into a coma and die.. So the best point of this situation is to follow your diet, exercise, take your blood sugars at least twice a day.. If they are not in good range then you shoud follow-up with your family physician for further evaluation. Best of luck to you.

The approximate values are as follows:\nHbA1c....BSL(mg/dl)\n6%.........120\n7%.........150\n8%.........180\n9%.........210 \n\nand so on...But these values (ie, the normal range for HbA1c) maybe differ from lab to lab or also based on the technique used to determine the HbA1c level.

Hello Ill pharmacitst here non diabetic about 100 diabetic fassting 80-130 1-2 hours after eating less than 180 hope that helps let me know next time if you are diabetic or not

This depends on when you are testing your blood glucose in relation to your meal schedule. \n\nIf you are diabetic and you have just eaten a substantial meal, check 2 hours after you finish. At this point in time, your sugar should be in the 140-180 range, which is OK for after a meal. \n\nIf you are fasting (meaning that you haven't eaten in at least 8-12 hours), you should obviously be around 100-110. You should also be around this level before meals. \n\nAnything over 250 if a dangerous level and requires medical attention. Anything over 300 definitely deserves a trip to the ER. Of course, if you feel bad or have symptoms of a really high level (dizzy, dry mouth, shaky, etc.) then call your doctor. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Blood glucose is measured in 2 different units, mmol/L and mg/dl. A reading taken in one unit will be very different if converted to the other. What was yours measured in? \nThe reading also differs greatly if it was taken before or after a mean. When was your reading taken?\n\nBlood glucose is considered high if \n- it is more than 8mmol/L or 145mg/dL if the reading was taken before a meal \nor\n- it is more than 10mmol/L or 180mg/dL if the reading was taken 2 hours after a meal\n\nIf your reading was in mg/dL...then it is actually very low. And if it is in mmol/dL that would be exceptionally high and you would be very sick by now. I suggest you get better clarification from the dr who took the blood glucose test for you.

this is sorta a cop out answer, but here goes... it depends. ideally this would depend on your body mass and coloric intake per day, the types of carbs taken in, and your personal level of insulin resitance.

Total cholesterol should be less than 200, yours is normal. Fasting glucose should be at least 80-120. Have breakfast, lunch, dinner & 2 snacks. Avoid skipping meals, it might decrease your glucose level. \n\n5'7" for female should be:\nrough approximation: for every 5 ft allow 105 pounds, then 5 pounds for every 1 inch, therefore, 105 + 35 = 140-150 would be fine. It would depend on your frame, if you are small, medium or large frame. I guess you are a little overweight even if you are of the large frame. Am not sure with your jean size, we have small, medium & large jeans here in the Philippines.

90 is a great blood glucose number! Who told you it should be higher? The Keeblers Elves? Sara Lee?\n\nCheck out this information from the National Institutes of Health, which says that for non-diabetics, normal fasting blood sugar should be 70-110, and after eating should be 70-140:\nhttp://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/index.htm\n\nLosing weight and passing out may indicate some kind of health problems, but 90 blood glucose would indicate that diabetes is not the problem.

if this is your fasting blood sugar, it does sound low.  i'd be feeling like crap if my sugar dropped that low.  normal fasting blood sugar should be around 90-120---my doctor likes me to aim for 100.\n\ni believe diabetes is diagnosed by 4 or more consecutive fasting blood sugar readings above 140.  \n\ni was diagnosed with type two diabetes about a year ago.  don't fool around with this--if you're concerned about your blood sugar you need to get checked out by a doctor.

Actually you can check their blood glucose with a standard blood glucose monitor. You can buy one at Wal-Mart. Their bloodsugar should be exactly the same as a human's 80-120 mg/dl. As for cholesterol, you will need a veterinarian to do that.

I was recently told by my doctor, (I am also diabetic), that anything over 110 can BEGIN to cause damage.\n\nSo sorry, but you will have to wait for another answer for the low end, as i do not know.\n\nI will be checking back to find out though.\n\nGood question.\n\nUpdate: \nAt the above mentioned Dr.'s appt. I seem to remember 70 or 80 for a healthy low.

Levels up to 100 are considered normal, and levels between 100 and 126 are considered pre-diabetes. You did the right thing by rushing him over to the ER.  With proper treatment they will be able to lower down to normal, do further testing to see what is going on, and provide the correct regimen for controlling it.

Having too little glucose in the blood can be harmful. As a general rule, your blood glucose should not be below approximately 3.8 mmol/L. Low blood glucose levels - particularly those that make you uncomfortable - is referred to as "hypoglycemia" (hypo - meaning low; gly - glucose; and emia - in the blood; literally, hypoglycemia means low glucose in the blood). This is yet another reason to test the blood using a glucose measuring meter. If you feel strange in any way, you should make sure your blood glucose is not too low, and the only way to do this is to check it.

A "normal" blood pressure is considered to be 120/80 by most standards. But, like blood glucose, it is unique to the individual as to what your body will tolerate before you start showing signs / symptoms. Be sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly at home and record your findings to share with your doctor.

70 -100 are normal fasting blood sugar levels.  They can go a little higher after eating.\n\nYour reading was normal.
