Is a blood sugar count of 119 mg/dL normal?

Question

It's not high enough to be diabetic but is also higher than what is normal, so should I be somewhat concerned of this?

Answer 1

Hi

That depends. While the ranges from facility to facility are pretty close, oftentimes they are not the same. For instance: LabCorp's range is 70-120. The hospital where I work at has the range at 65-118. At a hospital I used to work at, the range was 65-109. Yes, there are some slight discrepancies. However, it mostly depends on what type of equipment the lab that your blood sample is sent to. While I know that the differences are small, they can still read "high" or "low" on a lab report and it can raise some eyebrows. I, for one, would like to see some common ground. It's irritating when one place says my sugar is high, when the same reading at another is normal. I would think that if you try to stick within the range of 65-120, that is fine. That's what I do and my A1Cs show my good control.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

A bit on the high side if a fasting blood sugar but pretty normal if not especially after eating.....i wouldn't worry about it though. Ive been a diabetic for 33 years and that sounds a little high but as i say if you've ate anything that's pretty good!

Answer 7

A normal blood sugar is 90-120. Your blood sugar raises after you eat. If your blood sugars stay high say 200-or higher for a extened amount of time I would be checked for diabetes.

Answer 8

It is well within the 'normal' range, so there's no need to worry.

If it's above 162 mg/dL it would be worth mentioning it to your doctor, who would then arrange for you to have a fasting blood glucose test done.

Answer 9

hello,

It depends on whether it is fasting / post prandial sugar.

Fasting Blood sugar - then 119 is abnormal

Post Prandial Blood sugar - then 119 is normal

If according to above your value is abnormal, then you need a glucose tolerance test. In it first fasting glucose is measured, then you each 100 gm of glucose, and value is again measured after 2 hrs.

If it is still abnormal then you need diet control + / - medications.

Answer 10

I think people are confusing the issue. The high normal for blood glucose is 105. What some of the respondants are giving you is what their doctor told them ... If some one already has diabetes then we tell then to keep it below 120 or maybe 150 if its difficult to control. But for some one without the diagnosis who is supposed to be normal the fasting value should be less than 105.

Answer 11

The norm is 70-110. However, it depends when you took the test.
If this was done two hrs or more after a meal it could mean you're pre-diabetic. If that's true, you must take action NOW before it becomes full blown. I wish someone had told me that 10 yrs ago. See your Dr.
