Reference ranges quick view
Non-diabetic typical range
About 3.5 to 5.5 mmol/L before meals and under 8 mmol/L about 2 hours after meals.
Common diabetes target ranges
Often around 4 to 7 mmol/L before meals and 5 to 9 mmol/L after meals. Targets vary by person and care plan.
Treat as hypoglycaemia
A measured glucose below 4.0 mmol/L should be treated. Oral glucose only if the patient is conscious and can swallow safely.
Clinical aim
Identify hypoglycaemia early, treat safely, reassess, find cause, and make a sound conveyance decision.
Safety aim
Use dynamic risk assessment, protect airway, avoid aspiration, and control scene distractions.
Documentation aim
Record observations, glucose values, route of treatment, response, likely cause, advice, and rationale for transport.
