according to the American Diabetes Association recommendations from 2006, the normal level of fasting blood glucose is between 70 mg/dl ( 3.9 mmol/l) and 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l)
the postprandial shouldn't exceed 140 mg/dl

i have had the same problem, and per my doctor, it is between 120-125, anything above that is borderline diabetes. Mine averages about 124, which is high normal, but check the diabetes websites for a more accurate prognosis. I kept having blood taken right after drinking a 20oz bottle of OJ and my levels were in the 130's, so my doctor THOUGHT that I was borderline diabetic. I fasted the next 3 times and I was normal, but she (my doctor) STILl said to watch my sugar intake (sodas, carbs, breads, etc) and under no circumstances give blood after drinking OJ!
good luck and good health to you!

you have got lot of answers mostly poor one and some okay. Age is not a factor to monitor blood sugar. Anything above 140 after food and above 110 before food that is fasting is considered a borderline and you are likely to develop diabetes. To know more about diabetes please visit www.americandiabetesassociation.com and take a free PHD test. You learn a lot and feel better. To manage or aviod diabetes EDUCATION is the key. So get started from this site or you may loose a limb or eyes or kidney or stroke is for damn sure when you age. Check fast buddy and aviod complications.

The normal range is 70-110 for a fasting blood sugar level no matter what age you are.

Blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood. Results are usually available within 1 to 2 hours.
=> Fasting blood glucose: 70–99 milligrams per deciliter or less than 5.5 mmol/L
=> 2 hours after eating (postprandial): 70–145 mg/dL (less than 7.9 mmol/L)
=> Random (casual): 70–125 mg/dL (less than 7.0 mmol/L)
Normal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your health professional will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and medical history.

A normally functioning pancreas (sp?) keeps the blood glucose level at 100 mg/dl.... I am a diabetic and this is what I've been told NORMAL is (regardless of age).
Hope all is well for you

Over 30 yrs. my Dr. said to always keep my daily sugars between 80 & 120.....hbc should never be above 7....as your hbc rises higher thats when you are in gave danger of complications as in eye sight, heart, kidney & many others. So eat the right carbs & watch your fat intake as well as sugars! Exercise is the KEY to keeping your levels lower! Best of Luck to you!
