normal fasting (hasnt eaten) blood sugar is 70-100 under 60 is considered low so i woul set up an appointment with his dr to discuss this and the possibility of hypoglycemia. when you go go fasting from the night before and make an appointment for first thing in the am so an accurate level can be drawn at the office.
average bp is 105/57 with a normal range of 90-123 over 50-80 (NIH website). he is just very low normal, this also depends on height and varies throughout the day. the seizures require a complete workup by a pediatric neurologist.
