What is the solution to control blood sugar level within the control range?
Lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise and meal planning are the initial recommendations for treatment of high blood sugar, followed by medication therapy if necessary. Self monitoring of blood glucose is also an important component of diabetes treatment. The American Diabetes Association recommends the following blood glucose guidelines for non-pregnant women: 70-130 mg/dL before meals and less than 180 mg/dl 1-2 hours after the start of a meal. Blood glucose goals are often individualized for each patient by their physician, so your goals may differ from the above mentioned figures. If you are unable to maintain normal glucose levels we suggest contacting your physician to determine the next step in your treatment plan.
