Glucose levels

Someone just posted this on the ADA Type 2 message board, and I thought I'd share it here.  This is one of my favorite charts for recommended glucose levels.

               ADA    JOSLIN   AACE   DIABETIC

A1C            < 7.0   < 7.0   < 6.5  4.0-6.0

Fasting        90-130  90-130  <110   70-100

Post-Prandial* < 180   < 160   <140   70-140

 

*ADA: "Post-prandial glucose measurements should

be made 1–2 hours  after the beginning of the

meal, generally peak levels in patients with

diabetes."

 

ADA = American Diabetes Assn.   Joslin = Joslin Diabetes

Center  AACE= American Association Of Clinical

Endocrinologists  Non-diabetic= ranges compiled from goals

of all agencies.

My personal goals are "non-diabetic" numbers.  My last A1c was 6.2 with my personal goal being below 6.  Let's see if I can reach that by the time I get my next lab test in February 2010.
