Blood sugar level (or blood sugar concentration) is the amount of glucose (a source of energy) present in your blood at any given time. A normal blood glucose level for a healthy person is somewhere between 72 mg/dL (3.8 to 4 mmol/L) and 108 mg/dL (5.8 to 6 mmol/L). It, of course, depends on every individual alone. Typically blood sugar level in humans is around 72 mg/dL (or 4 mmol/L).
A good blood glucose reading before eating ranges from 70 to 130 milligrams per deciliter, and one or two hours after a meal, a normal reading is less than 180 milligrams per deciliter, as stated by the American Diabetes Association.
