What are the safe UK guidlines for blood sugar in Diabetes?



Using a home check monitor what are the safe measures, Mine averages around 3.6

Normally, blood glucose levels stay within narrow limits throughout the day: 4 to 8 mmol/l (70 to 150 mg/dl). Levels rise after meals and are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day. Your blood sugar level is normal. Keep it up. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/blood_sugar...
To convert blood glucose readings-divide the mg/dL by 18 t get mmol/L. Multiply the mmol/L by 18 to get mg/dL.

150
3.6 is a little on the low side. If you're experiencing symptoms of hypoglycaemia, try having a snack between meals.

normal bms for a diabetic is between 5 and 10, none diabetics its 4 - 7mmls
Whether this is a problem or not depends on whether you are on medication.

They used to say that the normal measurements were between 4 and 8, but they seem to have revised that downward slightly.

But I would say if you average 3.6, it should ideally be higher. You are very close to the lower limit, and likely to go hypo if there is any fluctuation.

Aim to get it round about 5.0, and that would be an ideal average.
