I haven't posted here in awhile. Things are in constant flux, but my blog posting will be done on http://www.tudiabetes.org/, a kind of facebook for the diabetes crowd. My stuff will get a lot more interest there. Unfortunately, they've had some tech issues for over a week.... but I am going to have to deal with that and just start working from that site.
Anyway, I am type2runner on that site as well.

Blood Glucose Levels
I refer a lot to blood glucose (or blood sugar or BGs) in this blog. What are blood glucose ranges? There are many ways to look at this, depending on time of day, food intake, exercise, etc. The standards for fasting BGs (after 8hrs of no food):
70 - 100 = Normal, non-diabetics
101 - 125 = pre-diabetic
126 and up = diabetes
BGs spike rapidly after starting to eat and typically reach their apex about a half hour after eating. Within two hours after a meal BG levels should return to normal. In diabetics, medication, exercise, and diet help achieve this, where is in non-diabetics, your body normally does that for you.
