The normal blood glucose level (tested while fasting) for non-diabetics, should be between 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L (70 to 100 mg/dL). ...
Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol/L (125 mg/dL).
There are lots of different hormones in the human body that serve lots of different functions, but some are used to maintain homeostasis of various physiological parameters, like blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels are regulated by two opposing hormones: insulin and glucagon.
