Depends on the laboratory doing the testing for their “normal range”. Generally speaking, 80 to 110 for a finger stick blood sugar level. Less than 200 for total cholesterol and 180 or 160 is now becomming the better “normal”.
The blood level for either depends on the state the body is in at the time of testing. After a fast of at least ten hours the blood sugar is normally in the 90-110 range and the cholesterol in about 180. Look at the printout of your last test and you will see what is normal for each item tested.
A fasting blood glucose level is normal when it is between 70-99. Pre- diabetes is considered between 100-125. Diabetes is considered when the level is 126 and above on more than one testing occassion. A cholesterol level below 200 is considered desireable and shows a low risk of heart disease. A level of 200-240 is considered moderate risk. At this level your doctor would do a lipid profile to see if your high cholesterol is bad cholesterol or good cholesterol. A cholesterol above 240 is considered high risk.
80 – 120
150 – 180
cholesterol i dont know about but blood sugar should be no higher than 120
