Normal Blood Glucose Levels
Reference:
Book: Permanent Diabetes
Control, page: 97 |
People
with diabetes should have a thorough
understanding of normal blood glucose levels and
should monitor fasting blood glucose level every
morning. In general, the normal glucose level
for diabetics is approximately between 4 and 7
mmol/L or between 72 and 126 mg/dL.

Normal blood glucose levels for non-diabetic
people, as published in Joslin
Diabetes Manual, are shown below.

The aforementioned normal blood glucose ranges
for a non-diabetic person can be used as
guidelines to tightly control after-meal glucose
levels by adjusting diet, insulin or oral
medications and after-meal exercise. This
treatment is extensively explained with a
real-life case study in the book "Permanent
Diabetes Control."
Diabetes raises the risk for heart disease and
high blood pressure and so diabetics should also
monitor cholesterol and blood pressure at the
convenience of their home (Click on
BP Monitors and
Cholesterol Monitors).

Diabetes A1c
Test-Kits
Reference:
Book: Permanent Diabetes Control,
page 75
By measuring the Hemoglobin A1c level in the bloodstream, it is
possible to know the average blood glucose level and the degree to
which it has been controlled over the preceding 90 days. All
diabetics are required to monitor their A1c level once every 3
months in order to make certain that their diabetes is tightly
controlled. If the diabetes is tightly controlled during the
preceding 90 days, the A1c level should be below 7% or 0.07. The A1c
Test-kits shown below can be used to monitor your A1c level at the
convenience of your home.
