Normal
A blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood.

Results are often ready in 1 to 2 hours. Glucose levels in a blood sample taken from your vein (called a blood plasma value) may differ a little than glucose levels checked with a finger stick.

Blood glucose
Fasting blood glucose:
70-99 milligrams per deciliter (3.9-5.5 mmol/L)

2 hours after eating (postprandial):
70-145 mg/dL (3.9-8.1 mmol/L)

Random (casual):
70-125 mg/dL (3.9-6.9 mmol/L)

Normal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your doctor will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and past health.
