Adults (general)

0.7 – 1.05 g/L

Adult females

0.7 – 1.05 g/L

Adult males

0.7 – 1.05 g/L

Common alternative units:

What does a low result mean?

A slightly lower level may occur after prolonged fasting, pre-breakfast exercise, or lighter carbohydrate intake the previous evening.

What does a high result mean?

A mildly elevated level suggests mild insulin resistance, often readily improvable through balanced nutrition and daily walking.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Was my fasting window optimal prior to sampling?
  • Would an HbA1c test be helpful to assess my 3-month average?
  • What simple dietary habits can I adjust to support healthy glucose levels?
