What is a rough BG for non diabetic people ?
Today mine has been 6.1, 6.9, and 6.7. Is that not a bit high ?
My diabetic OH was 4.2, 5.4, and 9.1

Depends on when the readings were taken. Fasting between 4-6 is considered normal, between 6-7 is generally classed as pre-diabetic. Over 7.0 diabetic.
Two hours after meals would generally be below 8 (could be 8.5?)
Also depends on what you have eaten.
If I got anything wrong, I'm sure the more experienced members will correct me :mrgreen:

oh great. LOL ! Fasting I was at 6.9. Two hours after meals I was 6.1 & 6.7. I just had a call from the doc saying my cholestrol was sky high and need to change my diet, so thought I would test the BG as well. I need to move more but have bad ME and cant. TY !

Having no energy as this is so limiting.

So have I, Ming, which does make life very difficult but you need to move something if at all possible even while you are just sitting in a chair or lying in bed. Every little thing you can do will help loads - but don't stress about it!! :)
