What is the normal fasting blood glucose level for a 6-year-old child? What is the normal post-meal level?

Patient's question:

What is the normal value of fasting blood glucose for a 6-year-old child? What is the normal value after a meal?

Doctor's answer:

Normal fasting blood glucose levels should be between 3.9~6.1. If fasting blood glucose is greater than 6.1 for two consecutive days, it suggests diabetes. Advice: A single measurement is not sufficient to diagnose diabetes. It is recommended to first undergo fasting blood glucose and glucose tolerance tests at a regular hospital for a definitive diagnosis.
