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.

Actually a fasting (before morning food or coffee) blood sugar above 85 represents the beginning of high blood sugar.

If you have diabetes your goal should be pre-meal blood sugars 70-99 and 2-hr after meal blood sugars b/w 100 and 139 (lower ranges are best).

    In addition: Make sure your other labs like homocysteine, ferritin, iron, VAP Cholesterol profile, Cardiac CRP, A1c, 25 (OH) D, MAU etc… are monitored and kept in the best possible ranges.

    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. Fortunately, blood sugar values are not the only was to address risk effectively. Overall risk management is critical. Success to you as you seek out the best strategies to meet your goals. See additional comment on other labs. Thanks for your input. – Wes Youngberg, DrPH, CNS
