Well gee then I reckon my eyes are shot considering THAT is what the
subject line is, therefore that is what I was answering.. guess IF it
hadn't
been changed.... either way, this is what the AACE has to say about
testing.
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE)
recommends the following general blood glucose testing goals
for adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes:
Preprandial (fasting, or before a meal) - <110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/l)
>>>>> Two hours postprandial (after the start of a meal) - <140 mg/dl (7.8
>>>>> mmol/l)
A1c (three month blood glucose average) - 6.5% or lower
