What Is The Normal Blood Sugar Level In Children?

Hi
I got blood work done for my kids for blood sugar.my 11 years old's level is 5.8 and my 16 years old has 6.0.
The test was done early morning and they hadn't eaten anything after dinner.so it was like fasting whole night.
Should I be worried? what are the normal numbers for this age kids?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
No need to worry much for their reports as both are in normal range.
In pediatric population, sugar level less than 6 is considered as normal.
In other unit , in mg/dl , less than 110 is considered normal.
I find this answer helpful
