General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for using Telemedicine via HealthcareMagic.com. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Normal blood sugar ranges from 70 mg/dL to 110 mg/dL, your reading was 86 mg/dL and it is very normal. Please take meals reguraly, because hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may occur even in a healthy person. You have a positive familial medical history for diabetes mellitus, so exercises & a balanced diet are highly recommended. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful too'.
