BG Levels

[Guest guest]

It would be nice, to know I would never go over 190 again, but since I am

now Insulin Diabetic, due to Diabetic complications that have caused me to

be there... I am over 190 a lot...

And if this was the true case, all Endo's would not be Happy with A1C levels

of 6.5. They would want 6.0 or lower with everyone, which for a lot of

people, is about impossible...

For some, it can happen, but then for others, it would be almost impossible,

so I think it is a case by case thing unfortunately.

Actually, damage can occur at BGs over 140 for an extended time - and each

time they go higher than this, you are slowly doing little bits of damage -

even for short periods. I wouldn't feel comfortable at all if every day, I

spiked up to 180 just because I was back down to 120 several hours later .

.. . . .

No more than 140 1 hour post meal

No more than 120 2 hours post meal

is a good rule of thumb.

Re: just found out i have diabetes

I know the group has been talking about what normal levels are, but you

should be somewhere between 70-120 fasting in A.M. and no higher than 190 or

so two hours after a meal. Damage to your eyes and organs can happen when

levels above 200 are for extended period of time.
