What are the Right Numbers?
Depending on where you look, recommended blood glucose levels can vary.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) numbers differ from the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) guidelines.
The ACE recommendations are more strict than the ADA’s.
How do you know which to follow?
Ask your healthcare provider which goals are right for you. There are connection between blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.
How many times a day should you check your blood glucose levels?
Checking your blood glucose levels often through out the day will help you to figure out how to keep good control.
First thing in the morning before breakfast, two hours after a meal and before bed are good times to test.
Other recommended times include before, during and after an exercise session, especially if it is strenuous or if you are feeling like your blood sugar may be low or high.
What is the A1C?
It’s a blood test that helps you and your doctor monitor your overall glucose control.
It gives an average of the amount of glucose in your blood over a few months’ time.
It is usually ordered 2 to 4 times a year.
If you are newly diagnosed or having trouble maintaining good day-to-day control, it may be ordered more often.
Normal blood sugar level is around 4.5mmol/L - 7.0 mmol/L or 80mg/dL - 125 mg/dL. That’s recommended level range for blood sugar for normal people. The measurement using glucose meter.
