Five persons have the following fasting blood sugar levels in a blood sugar camp. Which of the following report is to be considered normal:
A. 90 mg/di
B. 120 mg/dl
C. 130 mg/di
D. 49 mg/dl
E. 52 mg/dl
Answer: A
The normal range for fasting blood sugar levels can vary slightly depending on the lab and specific guidelines used, but typically, the reference range for fasting blood sugar is between 70 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) and 100 mg/dL.
Given this normal range, the fasting blood sugar levels among the five persons are as follows:
- 90 mg/dL – This is within the normal range.
- 120 mg/dL – This is elevated and above the normal range.
- 130 mg/dL – This is elevated and above the normal range.
- 49 mg/dL – This is below the normal range and considered hypoglycemic.
- 52 mg/dL – This is below the normal range and considered hypoglycemic.
So, among the given options, option A (90 mg/dL) is the fasting blood sugar level that is considered normal, falling within the typical reference range.
