Question

Hi,

My 10 year old son got tested for fasting blood glucose values and it came as 92 mg/dL (fasting). Is it on the higher side. Why it is so and what can be done?

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) level of your son is within normal range.

A blood glucose level of 100 mg/dL or less is considered normal for fasting state.

If he has any symptoms suggestive of diabetes you may go for further testing with the advice of your paediatrician.

Hope this helps.
