What is the normal target range of a healthy person without type 2 diabetes?
Depending on which part of the world you are in the readings will typically be as follows:
Fasting blood glucose levels of a non diabetic individual, 5.5 mmol (if you are in Europe)
and 100 mg/dl if you are in the Americas.
A type 2 diabetic will have for the most part, a wild card when it comes to sugar levels. Many different factors will make up the final readings such as stress, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol, smoking. As you can see the list goes on but the number one factor above all others is diet.
Diet alone can make or break an individuals readings. You could do everything else right, yet eat a couple of slices of pecan pie and it'll all go to pot.
A type 2 diabetic really needs to watch everything he or she eats. Learn to read the backs of the packs of every food item you are considering buying at the local supermarket. If it contains a carb level over about 5grams per hundred then put it back. This sounds harsh but you body will still run on quite alright without the double helping of pasta.
