The nondiabetic range of 4.0(72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa). This will arrest the cumulative vascular damage that feeds diabetes complications and comorbidities.

Live your best life with diabetes and control your numbers. I control my numbers by what I put in my mouth and by what I don't.

I live my ultralow net carb right eating lifestyle. I eat to my blood glucose meter and the nondiabetic range of 4.0(72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa). I exercise extensively daily.

And I brisk walk 10-15 minutes immediately after eating each meal. I limit my carbs to 2-3 net carbs per meal.

Have a wonderful day.

When managing diabetes, understanding blood sugar readings is crucial. Here are some general guidelines:

- Ideal Target Ranges: Blood sugar levels are typically measured in millimoles per liter (mmol/L) or milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). The specific target ranges can vary based on individual health conditions and should be determined by your healthcare team.

- High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia): If your blood sugar levels are consistently above your target range, it may indicate hyperglycemia. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to adjust your diabetes management plan.

- Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): If your blood sugar levels are too low, it can be dangerous and requires immediate attention. Again, your healthcare team can provide specific guidance on how to manage these situations.

Always consult your healthcare team to determine the best target ranges for you and to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
