Question :

Normal fasting blood sugar level per 100 ml in the blood of man is
 

Option 1:

30 – 50 mg

Option 2:

50- 70 mg

Option 3:

70 – 100 mg

 

Option 4: 120 – 140 mg

Correct Answer:

70 – 100 mg

Solution : The correct answer is 70 – 100 mg

Normal fasting blood glucose concentrations are estimated to be between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). When fasting blood glucose levels range from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L), lifestyle adjustments and glycemic monitoring are advised. Diabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or greater on two independent tests. Low fasting blood glucose concentration (hypoglycemia) - less than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) - causes dizziness, sweating, palpitations, blurred vision, and other symptoms that must be monitored.
