Should I see a doctor with a blood sugar reading of 90mg/dL?
In general, you should see a doctor if you're having high or very low blood sugar levels. It's unusual for non-diabetics to get very low blood sugar level because the body doesn't let glucose levels get too low because glucose is essential for brain function. A fasting blood sugar of 90mg/dL is optimal for a healthy adult and there's no need to see a doctor.
