Is Blood Sugar Level Of 79 Too Low?
I am currently in orientation for a job at a hospital and today we were practicing taking blood glucose levels and my personal results came out to be 79. Before then I had drank an entire slimfast shake. I was wondering if this is too low and if I should go to the doctor to get my levels checked to make sure there is nothing wrong.

Hi there,
Your blood sugar of 79 is not too low, it is within normal range. Unless, you are having clinical symptoms like:
- shakiness
- dizziness
- palpitations, etc.
that need further evaluation by a doctor. Otherwise, it is considered normal, no problem.
All the best!
