Best Tip:
In Type 2 Diabetes
manage your blood sugar in the first 10
Years
Person: Non-Diabetic (Normal)
Blood Glucose levels should be
.Fasting blood sugar under 100 mg/dl = 5.5 mmol/L
One hour after meals under 140 mg/dl = 7.8 mmol/L
Two hours after meals under 120 mg/dl = 6.7 mmol/L
.
.
Person: Type 2 Diabetes
Blood SUGAR levels should be..
If you 'embrace' your Type 2 Diabetes
you will gradually learn to control it and achieve an HbA1c of 7% or below.
But to do this, you need to check to see your
fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels are 4 - 7 mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl) (when you
wake up)
test your blood glucose levels before meals between, should be 4 and 7
mmol/l (72-126 mg/dl).
Remember, you still need tablets if you are ill;
if you are being sick or cannot swallow the tablets, |let your doctor or nurse
know.
Occasionally test after meals (preferred levels less than 10 mmol/l) (180 mg/dl
)
.
To achieve very good control (HbA1c 6.5-7.0%) you need:
.
a fasting pre-breakfast glucose less than 5.5 mmol/l (99 mg/dl )
.
pre-meal levels at other times less than 6.0 mmol/l (108 mg/dl )
.
after-meal levels (2 hours after a meal) less than 8.0 mmol/l (141 mg/dl).
.
.
These levels cannot be achieved in all patients. But if you are well and are
prepared to stick to a healthy
diet and exercise your medication should be adjusted to achieve these levels,
even if that means starting insulin.
.
.
.
How to Tell if you have Prediabetes
There are two different tests to see if you have normal blood sugar
(glucose) or pre-diabetes:
1) the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) or
2) the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
1) The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG)
| Normal |
PreDiabetes |
Type 2 Diabetes |
| less than 5.6 mmol/L | 5.6-7 mmol/l | greater than 7 mmol/l |
| less than 100 mg/dl | 100 -126 mg/dl |
greater than 126 mg/dl |
2) The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). (Done by your Doctor)
| Normal |
PreDiabetes |
Type 2 Diabetes |
| less than 7.7 mmol/l | 7.7 - 11 mmol/l |
greater than 11 mmol/l |
| less than 140 mg/dl | 140 - 200 mg/dl |
greater than 200 mg/dl |
.
.
.
If you are pre-diabetic or diabetic, among the first issues you will have to deal with are blood sugar levels, irregular blood sugar levels, and just how to monitor your blood sugar level.
A basic blood sugar chart will give you an idea of what values you should be aiming for to take care of your health and stay clear of harmful health effects due to type 2 diabetes:
- Normal
Fasting blood sugar
(glucose) levels are 4 –
5.5mmol/l (70- 100 mg/dl) (when you wake up);
these amounts are typically less in the morning, and rise soon after meals.
- Regardless of what
you may have previously eaten, a random reading of
10 mmol/l (or 180
mg/dl) or more, may suggest
you have type 2 diabetes.
- A fasting blood sugar reading taken, for example, any time after you wake up each morning, should be, as mentioned 4 – 5.5mmol/l (70- 100 mg/dl).
If the fasting blood sugar reading is 7 mmol/l (126 mg/dL) or more, you may have type 2 diabetes.
When monitoring your blood glucose levels, its crucial that you study any patterns with your readings with your doctor or diabetes nurse or healthcare professional, and take note of variations with meals, medications or other activity (like stress) that trigger undesirable readings.
Diabetes really is a serious problem, and can have devastating effects on the whole body, on eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, possibly leading to blindness, kindey failure, amputation of feet, heart illnesses and stroke. Those who have diabetes, regardless if it is type 1 or 2 is a real threat to health.
For those that have pre-diabetes it's by no means too early to consider aggressive preventive measures by altering your way of life and lifestyle choices.

THE BOOK - Control Your Blood Sugar and
Reverse The Root Cause of Type 2 Diabetes!
Here's important news for anyone
with diabetes. A remarkable E-Book is now available that reveals
scientifically proven principles that can help trigger your body to
produce more insulin naturally, reversing diabetes symptoms without the
need for medication.
Diabetes is a condition in which sugar is not properly absorbed by the body. Globally the incidence of diabetes is expected to exceed 250 million people by 2025 – resulting in 35 million heart attacks, 13 million strokes, 6 million episodes of renal failure, 8 million instances of blindness or eye surgery, 2 million amputations and 62 million deaths – that is a measure of the scale of the problem. While diabetes belongs at the top of the healthcare agenda, it has yet to be given that position.
According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 21 million diabetics in America; with another 54 million people having pre-diabetes (placing them at high risk for developing Type II diabetes). This equates to 75 million Americans having diabetes, or being at high risk.
Matt Traverso's E-Book states,
if the damage that is being done to the pancreas can be turned around,
the organ will be given the chance to heal itself and then, gradually,
it is possible for those who are dependent on insulin shots to be able
to stop them all together. This means diabetes sufferers may no longer
have to be dependant on the drugs and medications that are usually taken
to treat the condition.
Top scientists such as Dr Robert O. Young, Dr Gabriel Cousens, Dr
Fuhrman and many others (whose groundbreaking research forms the basis
of this E-book) state that “diabetes is completely reversible”.
I would like to extend the opportunity to anyone who either suffers from type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or is at high risk of getting the disease, to learn more about “The Diabetes-Reversing Breakthrough!”
So if you want to find out more about this, then just visit the link now.
