Fasting blood glucose level in a healthy person should be :

  • A.40-60 mg/dl
  • B.80-100 mg/dl
  • C.110-125 mg/dl
  • D.130-150 mg/dl

Answer: B

A healthy fasting blood glucose is 80-100 mg/dl.

After an overnight fast of at least eight hours, normal plasma glucose lies roughly between 70 and 100 mg/dl, and the range 80-100 sits within it.

The other ranges are abnormal. 40-60 mg/dl is hypoglycaemia. Under the WHO and American Diabetes Association criteria, a fasting value of 100 to 125 mg/dl is impaired fasting glucose (prediabetes), so 110-125 mg/dl is not healthy, and 126 mg/dl or more on two occasions indicates diabetes, so 130-150 mg/dl is in the diabetic range.
