[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 1719040, member: 467776"] Ideally is the key word there. Dr Google's first result points right back to this site. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html[/URL] The NICE guidelines... For people with diabetes, blood sugar level targets are as follows: [LIST] [*][B]Before meals[/B]: 4 to 7 mmol/L for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes [*][B]After meals[/B]: under 9 mmol/L for people with type 1 diabetes and under 8.5mmol/L for people with type 2 diabetes [/LIST] NKOS has been told she [I]MUST[/I] be between 5-7. Incorrect. You've been told you should [I]ideally[/I] be between 5-8. This is fine, consistent with NICE, as long as understood that there is additional range available either side. (Obviously they may have tailored your advice if eg you have poor hypo awareness). [/QUOTE]
