Normal Adult Blood Sugar LevelAccording to the American Diabetes Association, a normal adult blood sugar level when doing a fasting blood glucose test is less than 110 mg/dl.
 To find out whether you are in normal range or not you perform this test after you have fasted (no food or liquids other than water) for eight hours. You can easily do it first thing in the morning before breakfast. How to test:
A diagnosis of diabetes is made if your blood glucose reading is 126 mg/dl or higher after two consecutive blood tests. (In 1997, the American Diabetes Association lowered the level at which diabetes is diagnosed to 126 mg/dl from 140 mg/dl.) The Sidekick Blood Glucose Testing System offers the convenience of monitoring yourself at home and can easily fit in a pocket or purse.
