Dr. Zhao Lianli
For individuals aged 60, the normal fasting blood glucose range is 3.9–6.1 mmol/L. Blood testing is required to determine whether levels fall within this normal range. A fasting blood glucose level above this range may indicate hyperglycemia or diabetes; blood glucose must remain within the normal range. Levels below 3.9 mmol/L indicate hypoglycemia, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, visual darkening (e.g., blacking out), sweating, and palpitations. Levels exceeding 6.1 mmol/L indicate hyperglycemia; however, a definitive diagnosis of diabetes requires further confirmatory testing.
