Is 32mg/dL a normal blood sugar level for a healthy adult?
A fasting blood sugar (blood glucose) of 32mg/dL is considered abnormal for a healthy adult. A blood sugar level of 52mg/dL or less is very low.

Children with a blood sugar level of under 70mg/dL may have symptoms of low blood sugar such as shaking, sweating, hunger, headache, looking pale or being confused. In a child with diabetes a blood sugar less than 70mg/dL would be considered a hypo.
