[QUOTE="Anglo_dude, post: 976327, member: 205041"] Hi Andy, Looks like you have it set for the US readings? There is a useful converter here: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html[/URL] What is a good reading depends on what type of diabetes you have, I'm guessing type 2 as you've posted in that forum. Your reading converts to 7.6 which is a little high for a pre-meal reading, but not scary as a one off reading. Typically it should be between 4 and 7 before eating and aim for no more than about 8.5. Once you have a few readings take an average and plug them into here to get a feel for where you should be: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] Welcome to the forum, this place has been absolutely fantastic for me to get a feel for where I should be and helping to discover what is good for me. Everyone is different, you just need to find what works for you. [/QUOTE]
