Five Stages of High Blood Sugar
Many of us have been led to believe that if our blood sugars aren’t really that high unless above 200.

Yes, you are right. It is clearly easier said than done. It is important, however, to know up-front what the healthy ranges are and what the ideal values would be for the type 2 or even type 1 diabetic.
