What Are Normal Blood Sugar Readings?

 

 

 

Normal blood sugar readings are pretty straight forward, but how we get there or maintain healthy blood sugar readings is the biggest challenge. 

Healthy or normal blood sugar levels are usually less than 100mg/dl after not eating for at least 8 hours.  After two hours after eating, blood sugar readings should be less than 140mg/dl. 

Usually during the day blood sugars tend to be lowest right before a meal.  It can be around 70-80mg/dl, but it is not uncommon for some individuals that it might be a little lower than 70 or a little higher than 80mg/dl.

For individuals that have diabetes, the blood sugars readings are a little higher. 

Before a meal the blood sugar range should be 70-130 mg/dl.  Then 2 hours after a meal it should be less than 180mg/dl. 

These are general medical guidelines and as you can see, once you have diabetes your blood sugar readings are going to a little higher. 

If you don’t currently have diabetes there is really no need to randomly check your blood sugars by pricking your finger and putting a small drop of blood on a testing stick.

If you do have what they call metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes symptoms such as being overweight, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, or high triglyceride levels then you may want to go to your doctor and have them do a fasting blood sugar check. 

This will tell you how your long-term blood sugar control is and if it is at a healthy level.

Then work on losing weight and lowering triglyceride and cholesterol levels.  This will improve the fasting blood sugar number and by losing weight your blood pressure should improve as well.
