Using the NHS Choices website will give you a lot of information on type 1 and 2 Diabetes. It will also explain what the norm blood sugar levels are (as a health professional I can say that it id no lover than 4mmgh and no higher than 9mmgh) what hypo/hyperglycemia is and how sugar levels may be and the diagnosis procedures for suspected diabetics.
Simple chart for normal blood glucose levels...
It is normal for glucose levels to fluctuate a little bit throughout the day. Your glucose levels should increase after you eat then drop down again. It is not normal for your glucose levels to fluctuate widely throughout the day. A normal range is approximately 70-125 mg/dL.
Glucose levels are different for different times. There are 3 glucose tests that are given. One is a fasting test, where your glucose levels are tested after fasting. Normal fasting blood glucose level is less than 100 mg of glucose per dl of blood.
Yes. The easiest way to find information about blood glucose levels is to use Wikipedia. The website will give you great information about normal blood glucose levels and also other useful details.
Fasting affects glucose levels by reducing below what might be considered normal levels. It is safe as long as blood glucose levels do not drop below around 60 milligrams.
Insuline and Glucagon control blood glucose. Insuline: brings down high levels of glucose. Glucagon: brings glucose levels back to normal, (brings glucose levels up).
The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream to help maintain normal blood glucose levels in between meals. This process is regulated by hormones like insulin and glucagon.

Glucose levels are different for different times. There are 3 glucose tests that are given. One is a fasting test, where your glucose levels are tested after fasting. Normal fasting blood glucose level is less than 100 mg of glucose per dl of blood.
Your glucose levels should be between 70 to 130 milligrams (mg/dL). As far as I know the "normal" range does not change as you age, although it is different for children. Your diet sounds good which is usually the cause for high glucose levels, but there are self testing kits available should you wish to keep an eye on them levels.
