What are normal levels of blood sugar?

Everyone says something different. I tried to find on the website American Diabetes Association but could not. Does anyone know what is normal for fasting and what is normal for not fasting.

This different methods to determine the level of glucose in the blood. Some tests give an accurate diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes, while others will tell you how to control their diabetes. Blood sugar fasting Test: Measures the level of blood sugar after fasting for 8 hours or overnight. Normal fasting glucose is less than 100 mg / dl. If fasting glucose is 100 mg / dl to 125mg/dl then you have impaired blood glucose is also known as pre-diabetes. If the blood glucose in the blood is above 125mg/dl, the doctor will diagnose a patient with diabetes. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood glucose test on any other day. If you have the blood glucose of 126mg/dl or more than two consecutive tests, then you have diabetes in May If you have blood glucose 200 mg / dl and symptoms of diabetes as thirst or hunger has increased, frequent urination, weight loss, blurred vision, etc. then you may be diagnosed with diabetes mellitus without confirming their second test. Random Testing: Random testing of blood glucose gives your blood sugar at any time in a day. Normal blood glucose at random should be less than 200 mg / dl. If your blood sugar in the blood at random from 140mg/dl to 200mg/dl then you have pre-diabetes. Test test oral glucose tolerance test, which measures the response of sugar. First, measures blood levels of fasting glucose, then given a glucose solution, after which blood glucose measured after 1 hour and 2 hours. A normal level of glucose in the blood after an oral tolerance test of glucose is below 140 mg / dL. Level between 140 mg / dL to 199 mg / dL suggests pre-diabetes. A level of blood glucose of 200 mg / dL or more than two hours after drinking the glucose solution may indicate that you have diabetes. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) This test is not to diagnose diabetes, but shows how you have controlled your blood sugar level in blood in the past 2 or 3 months. The normal value is less than 7% without But if more than 7 then you and your doctor should consider changing treatment of diabetes. Always remember, their measurements of blood glucose alone is not enough to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Your doctor may do other tests to see what type of diabetes you have. I think I touched all the bases. Good luck
