If you had a fasting blood glucose test, a level between 70 and 100 mg/dL is considered normal. If you had a random blood glucose test, a normal result depends on when you last ate. Most of the time, the blood glucose level will be below 125 mg/dL.
In a newly diagnosed, untreated, type 2 diabetes patient, does fasting glucose represent the lowest point of blood glucose excursions during the day? Can the post-prandial glucose level be lower than the fasting value? Response from John B. Buse, MD, PhD. In my experience, patients with type 2 diabetes divide into 3 patterns of glucose during the day. Probably the majority (but not by much) have fairly similar premeal glucoses throughout the day. The second most common pattern is characterized by glucose being highest in the morning in the fasting state. Remember, fasting glucose is determined by the insulin sensitivity of the liver and insulin secretion. Generally, insulin secretion is fairly intact in early diabetes, but often the insulin-secreting cells do not respond to glucose.
