Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! My child is 7 years old today, and she is a girl. The fasting blood glucose test result this morning was 5.96. Is her blood sugar level normal? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Childhood diabetes refers to diabetes that occurs before the age of 15 or 20. Fasting blood glucose > 6.6 mmol/L, 2 hours post-meal blood glucose > 11.1 mmol/L. Your child's fasting blood glucose is only 5.96, so it's not diabetes. Don't worry!
