What is the optimal blood sugar range?
You should check with your doctor to determine the range of blood sugar levels best for you. In general, optimal blood sugar goals are: Before Meals: 70-110 mg/dl At Bedtime: 100-140 mg/dl If your before-meals blood sugar is consistently lower than 70 mg/dl or higher than 140 mg/dl, or your bedtime blood sugar is consistently lower than 100 mg/dl or higher than 160 mg/dl, you probably need a change in your treatment plan and should consult your doctor. Blood sugar goals may be modified for children and others who are at greater risk for hypoglycemia.
