Here is my weekly question from FOODPICKER.org
Question: I have diabetes and my blood sugar is all over the map. Could you please tell me the ideal blood sugar level?
Answer: Blood sugar goal levels depend on when you are testing and your activity level too.
According to the American Diabetes Association, they recommendations are as follows for adults:
Glycemic control | |
A1C | <7.0% |
Preprandial plasma glucose (before a meal) | 70–130 mg/dl (5.0–7.2 mmol/l) |
Postprandial plasma glucose (after a meal) | <180 mg/dl (<10.0 mmol/l) |
| Talk to your doctor to determine your ideal blood glucose level |
When you finish the blood glucose check, write down your results and review them to see how food, activity and stress affect your blood glucose. Take a close look at your blood glucose record to see if your level is too high or too low several days in a row at about the same time. If the same thing keeps happening, it might be time to discuss changing your plan with your doctor. Tight glucose control or consistent has been shown to help reduce complications.
