Understanding normal blood sugar levels is crucial for maintaining health and preventing conditions like diabetes. In Bangladesh, as in many countries, these levels are measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

Normal Fasting Blood Sugar Levels:

World Health Organization (WHO): Defines normal fasting blood glucose concentrations between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). 
WHO.INT

WebMD: States that a normal fasting blood sugar level is 99 mg/dL or below.

Normal Random (Non-Fasting) Blood Sugar Levels:

Dhaka Tribune: Reports that for individuals who have not fasted, the normal range for random blood sugar is between 3.0 and 7.8 mmol/L.

Blood Sugar Levels in Bangladesh:

A study conducted among the adult population in Bangladesh found:

Mean Glucose Levels: The average blood glucose level was 74 mg/dL (4.1 mmol/L), with men averaging 79 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L) and women 67 mg/dL (3.7 mmol/L).

Interpretation of Blood Sugar Levels:

Fasting Blood Sugar:

Normal: 70 to 100 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.6 mmol/L)

Maintaining blood sugar levels within the normal range is essential for overall health. Regular monitoring and consultation with healthcare professionals are recommended to manage and prevent potential health issues related to blood sugar imbalances.
