Query - Human Body Sugar ???

I am not a BP patient ( Blood Pressure )
yesterday i had sudden headache and some sort of fainting mood and suspected high blood pressure

but could not go in day...later went to clinic at 8-30pm and found the pressure is a little high 144/85, but not extra ordinary considering my age.

Doctor wanted to do instant sugar checking and it was found to be too low : 83 .

( I am not on FAST, and I had taken my lunch at 2-30pm )

I heard, even after 10-hour fast for blood test, the accepted maximum is 99-100.

Why it is too low at 83, even though I had taken food just 5 hours back ?

It is just normal. It is not even good low. A good low should be from 70 to 80. 83 is pretty ok. It is only a problem with when it is less than 50. Anything above is ok.

The lower your glucose, the better for your health. (of course, not lower than 50 though).

I agree with fubar.Some things caused your headache and dizziness. Are you preggy? Sorry, I mean are you married? You need a general checked up by a doctor..

Too low?

Where on Earth did you get the notion that your blood sugar level was too low?

The normal range for a random (non fasting) glucose test is 70-140.

Even if you'd been fasting, 83 is still within the normal range.
