Well, 4.3 is just a number that doesn't say much. Blood sugar level can be measure in mmol/L or mg/dl. Normal blood sugar varies depend on the lab a method to make the measurement, but it about 90mg/dl + or - 20 mg/dl ( 70mg/dl to 110mg/dl).
In mmol/L 90mg/dl will be about 4.95mmol/L and the range will be 3.8mmol/L to
6.05mmol/L.
On the other hand, A1C or HbA1c do not a measure blood sugar level, it is a measure of glycated hemoglobin (amount of hemoglobin that it is bond to sugar) ; but can be used to know blood sugar level for the last three months. This can be done because there are a correlation between the blood sugar level an the percent o hemoglobin that will be bond to sugar.

∙ 7y agoThere are 2 tests - a regular blood glucose which could be anywhere from 30 to hundreds -- normal around 80. Or an A1C (A-one-C) that gives a 3-month "snapshot" and uses smaller numbers often reported in decimals from 4.0 to 8.0. So I'd say this 4.3 is an A1C and it is perfectly normal--- hence, you say, rightly, that your son is not diabetic.

There won't be any insulin secreted as insulin is only secreted when the blood glucose level increases beyond its normal level (for example, after a meal).
