According to expert advice , children under 6 should have fasting sugars between 80 and 180 mg/dL. Children ages 6 to 12 should have a fasting sugar between 80 and 180 mg/dL. Then 13- to 19-year-olds should have fasting sugars between 70 and 150 mg/dL. And for those over the age of 20, it's best to keep the fasting sugar below 100 mg/dL.
