normal reading

[berriew]

I do not know what the "normal" reading should be after fasting(for blood work).
I was tested  at  5(Canadian) and my Dr said it was high.
What is the norm?

Just two post below yours this same question was asked and answered by Madge. She also provided the link to the ADA web page for reference that you may find helpful as I have.

It would really depend on the test you are having and its scale. Here is American Diabetic Info....you can copy and paste link below

Here is a table that lists blood glucose ranges for adults with diabetes:


Glycemic control  


A1C

Preprandial plasma glucose (before a meal)
70–130 mg/dl (5.0–7.2 mmol/l)

Postprandial plasma glucose (after a meal)
<180 mg/dl (<10.0 mmol/l)
