In this video, Dr. Nivedita discusses different blood sugar values for different age groups.

A blood test reveals whether sugar levels are normal or high. Based on these values, necessary steps are taken. Glucose is crucial as it provides energy for daily activities. The food we eat turns into glucose, which then becomes energy. High glucose levels may indicate diabetes.

Here are the Blood Sugar Values based on age groups:

1. Less than 6 years old: Doctors perform two tests. The first is a fasting blood sugar test, taken after 10-12 hours of fasting. The second is the postprandial blood sugar test (PP), taken 2 hours after eating. Fasting values should be 80-180 mg/dl, and PP values should be under 180 mg/dl.

2. Ages 6-12: Fasting values should be 90-160 mg/dl. For PP, the normal value is 140 mg/dl. Consult a doctor if PP values exceed 140 mg/dl.

3. Ages 12-20: Fasting values should be 90-140 mg/dl. Normal PP sugar levels are 140 mg/dl. Consult a doctor if PP values exceed this limit.

4. Adults over 20: Fasting values should be 70-130 mg/dl. Normal PP sugar levels are 180 mg/dl. Consult a doctor if PP values exceed 180 mg/dl.

Older individuals in their 60s and 70s often have higher sugar values. If after meal (post prandial) values are equal to or less than 200 mg/dl, it's considered normal for them. The timing of tests is crucial, as fasting times and the type of food consumed before the test can affect sugar levels.
