Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Usually, kids have higher blood glucose levels than adults. This is because of growth hormone and high metabolic rate at this age.
Specifically for a 8 years old kid, the blood glucose level ranges between 80 to 180 mg/dL depending on time if measurement (before breakfast, at bedtime or overnight ).
Hope it answered to your original query. Let me know if you have further questions.
