Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I know where mine should be after 2 hours ; and where it should be fasting.
Most times I stay in this zone no problems. Sometimes I over do it as I'm adjusting to being on less medication.
However , I was wondering what blood suger level is suppose to be for someone with out diabities?
No one in my family who isn't pre-diabetic/diabetic will let me pick their finger. And even then sense it runs in my family I'm not sure it be normal anyway.
So , 2 hours after eating where is a normal person's suger?
And if my sugers between 100 -140 most of the time... what can I expect my A1c to be around? Like I get it varies for how long I'm at the height and a low but I'm looking to see if I want to adjust my diet more before I get tested again.
Last time it was 5.7 but I was on medication that kept pulling me down to below 60. Anddddd I was thinking I had to be 180 at 2 hours at that point not 140 because that's what I found online but my doctor told me different so I'm trying to stick hard to her numbers.
I want my number to be around 5. And it might take a long time but I'm just looking for any advice I can get other then exersise 6 hours a day. I do between and hour to 3 depending on if I'm off and how much free time I have. It's usually an hour between walking my dog and my exersise bike.
I did accedent spike my suger to 199 the other day - so I did my bike for 20 mins and got it to drop about 45 points. Tand then I slept and woke up I was at 105 after 3 more hours. Is that a good thing to do?

Personally, here's my scale and what I use in case of a high:
180-200: High, but manageable (adequate).
200-299: Needs to improve
300-399: Unacceptable
400-499: Retake, and if still above 400 after second time, go to your doctor
500 and above: Consider going to the emergency room.
I have tested non diabetic sugar levels after lunch and they are around 140...
But all this depends on what u eat.
Don't get stressed.
My golden rules. 1 hr walk daily
Eat a little less carb than a normal nob diabetic
& stay stress free. Njoy. Life.
I know diabetics who are healthier than normal person.
What's hardest on the body are big swings in numbers..
