The normal value for blood sugar level is from 60 mg/dL to 120 mg/dL or 4.2 mmol/L to 6.4 mmol/L. Blood sugar level would usually rise after food intake but under normal circumstances, it would return to normal after 2 hours. To establish baseline values, one should check a fasting blood glucose level -- meaning NPO or non per orem or literally nothing per mouth for about 6 to 8 hours before blood sampling and testing. For close monitoring how one reacts to medications and treatment, ante cibum or before meals and postprandial or after meals blood sugar levels should be checked. To determine if an established diagnosis of diabetes is under good control or uncontrolled, a hemoglobin A1c test is done which can be done nonfasting because it detects glycosylated hemoglobin fragments (we can say that is the sugar-coated portion of blood that is not easily washed off, so if treatment is inappropriate even for months, it can still be detected in blood).
I hope this helps you even in a little way...

When I worked at a daycare center there was a little boy who was diabetic and his levels could only be between 180 and 220.

Why didn't the Doctor tell you what his levels should be. Also the doctor should be able to do a blood test to determine if he is Diabetic

your dr. should have given you guidelines for the #'s
i'm type 2 , and anything between 70 and 125 are good for me.
you should test before meals and again 2 hrs after meals
keep track of times, and what he ate also, take list to the dr. next time

All I can advice you is when it comes to health issues YOU need to contact your doctor, if you take advice from someone other that the Doctor's you can harm your son's life...so go and get the answers from his Doctor...Please, it would be fatal if you don't take care God Bless...
