| | | I'm happy under 180, but I believe '145' is the official target. |

| | | The "don't be scared if... " levels are <180 at 3 hours and < 150 at 2 hours. Preferred targets are much lower, however.

The 160 is on the high end of the results. So, I suppose if you want to keep non-diabetic bg values, you should try to stay below 160 (or even lower if you take the mean average value of 140).

| | | I always shoot for <140. If I am in the 180 range, I might do a very small correction. |

| | | I aim for 100 (5.5) or less, even though non-diabetics have post-prandial spikes that go over that, because non-diabetics don't see highs from stress hormones, liver dumps or having their pancreas miscalculate an insulin dose. I figure that if I can avoid post-prandial spikes, I'll have roughly the same sort of balance that a non-diabetic has. |

| | | I am fine with 140 and under, i want it the same as when i ate, and i get it there, and then i eat a snack....works for me.....i get a snack with no added insulin, takes a bit of work to figure what ratio will do this, but i got it down....eventually and I am happy with this because during stress and hormones i will see a 140 or higher post meal, so those few times or sometimes that it happens, is not a big deal so i save the bad blood sugars for things i cannot prevent....

To clarify, between 80 and 120 (6.7) was the old official line. Personally I like to be between 80 and 100. This gives me enough glucose to get through till snack time or the next meal and A1c's below 6%. At least that's what I shoot for. |
