The fasting blood sugar level (F) and the post prandial blood sugar level (PP) of a patient was monitored for four weeks W1, W2, W3, W4, and the readings (in mg/dl) for the four weeks are as follows: F/PP: 170/220, 150/180, 120/150, 90/120. These have been presented through a bar graph. The normal range is considered to be: F/PP: 70-100/100-130 During which week was the fasting blood sugar level of the patient approximately 115.4% above the upper limit of normal PP blood sugar level?

The normal range is considered to be: F/PP: 70-100/100-130 During which week was the fasting blood sugar level of the patient approximately 115.4% above the upper limit of normal PP blood sugar level? Correct Answer W2
Given:
Normal range of Fasting blood sugar level (F) = 70 - 100
Normal range of Post prandial blood sugar level (PP) = 100 - 130
Calculation:
115.4% ≈ 115%
130 × 115% = 149.5
⇒ 149.5 < 150
∴ In W2 the fasting blood sugar level (F) is approximately 115.4% above the upper limit of normal PP blood sugar.
