What are the high and lows of blood sugar for diabetes? |
What are the high and lows of blood sugar for diabetes? Normal ranges from about 70 to about 140. Normal is 80-120 (some books say 90-110) 126 is considered the point at which a diagnosis of diabetes should be considered... if you get a reading higher than 126, repeat the test a couple more times over the next couple weeks to see if it is consistently high... This is really simplified, but a good starting point... I'm a 12 year diabetic and diabetic teaching nurse... There are two units of measurement in use: mmol/L, for which the range sought is 4.0 - 7.0 & is used in the UK Europe Canada Australia & most other countries. mg/dL is used in the US & the range sought is, I believe, 80 - 140. In diabetes, if uncontrolled, there are no limits to how high or low you can go. My own worst ever "scores" are 0.4 & 52. Fortunately I was in hospital on both occasions. Type I for 34 years 70-115.... lower than 70 is hypoglycemic and higher than 115 is hyperglycemic. but every one will tell you different things. but thats about the normal range.. some people's can get up to 200 before they feel anything. nurse |
