[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1535936, member: 41816"] How long is a piece of string? Sorry if that sounds facetious. :) but you will find lots of different answers as you trawl through type 2 D info - and another set of answers about type 1s! The NHS believes type 2 is progressive, and sets this target for blood glucose after meals (up to 8.5mmol/l after meals): NICE recommended target blood glucose level ranges [B]Target Levels by Type[/B] [B]Upon waking[/B] [B]Before meals (pre prandial)[/B] [B]At least 90 minutes after meals (post prandial) Non-diabetic*[/B] 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L under 7.8 mmol/L [B]Type 2 diabetes[/B] 4 to 7 mmol/L under 8.5 mmol/L [B]Type 1 diabetes[/B] 5 to 7 mmol/L 4 to 7 mmol/L 5 to 9 mmol/L [B]Children w/ type 1 diabetes[/B] 4 to 7 mmol/L 4 to 7 mmol/L 5 to 9 mmol/L *The non-diabetic figures are provided for information but are not part of NICE guidelines. [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html[/URL] But I firmly believe this is one of the reasons why T2 is considered progressive! Keeping blood glucose that high will lead to the progression, because high glucose is damaging to our bodies. I prefer lower targets, based on the information on the [URL="http://www.bloodsugar101.com"]www.bloodsugar101.com[/URL] website. It is a brilliant source of info, and really gives an understanding of why and how the info varies so much. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
