| Hi, Lovehm2
The general range for normal depends on the lab but is usually 80 - 120 mg/dl. You will often hear about A1C these days and that value should be under 6.6. If your fasting sugar is 120 or under and you didn't have an A1C done, I would ask your doctor seriously about what Type you have been diagnosed (not likely Type 1 as this is juvenile diabetes normally). I would also ask for a 2nd opinion. If you are normal, taking insulin shouldn't mess you up but there is no reason to take it if you are normal. Plus, there is the expense. Does he have you testing and keeping a log? Why didn't he try oral medications first to control your glucose level? This sounds very strange to me!
