Re: Target blood sugar ranges

[Guest guest]

The " good " and " fair " numbers look too high to me. If I have consistent bg

levels over 150 I adjust my diet. That morning reading of 60 also looks too

low.

I just took a class at Kaiser called " Living well with Diabetes " and this is

what they gave us:

Goal Blood Sugar Levels

time non-diabetic excellent good fair

poor

before

breakfast 60-110 70-120 70-140 140-180

over 180

1-2 hrs.

after meal 100-140 100-140 100-160 160-200

over 200

before 70-100 70-120 80-140 140-180

Absolutely, Sandi, if you stick with the non-diabetic and excellent numbers.

The high end numbers for " good " are too high for my goals.

I agree and and am striving for the " non-diabetic " numbers as much as possible.

I seem to float around in the " excellent " for the most part except the fasting

which is mostly an average of 125 or so, but it's been coming down. This

morning it was 114 and yesterday was 97 which thrilled me no end. Bedtime is

usually a bit higher than the 120 range too. Right now it's at 146 and that's

not good. But...I had some sugar free/fat free pudding about 8:30 so that is

probably the culprit. Doesn't seem like there is ever a full 2 hours between

my putting something in my mouth.

I read somewhere, bg level before breakfast should 70-110 (or 80-110).

I think 60 is too low, even for non diabetics?

Is that true we can say fair for 140-180 before breakfast? when I have

one, it scared me to death.

I expect It's a matter of opinion, Judith. I certainly wouldn't be happy

with anything in the Fair numbers, but alot of docs see a lot of diabetics

that aren't particularly compliant, and I guess they have to have some sort

of scale. I agree with you.
