The desired capillary blood glucose values may vary according to the patient’s dietary status and even according to the patient’s age. In patients in good health and active life, as a rule, the objective is to keep fasting blood glucose below 130 mg/dL and blood glucose measured 2 hours after feeding below 180 mg/dL. However, in more fragile patients, with multimorbidity, with a higher risk of complications, the goals can be individualized, tolerating higher levels both in fasting and after meals.

Blood glucose level should be kept under control because, high sugar level for a prolonged period may cause diabetes complications. Random blood sugar can be taken anytime. Tt will be good if the blood sugar level is below 200 milligrams per deciliter or below 11.1mmol/l.

An optimal value for maintaining fasting blood glucose is below 100mg/dl. Fasting glucose between 100 and 125 mg/dL is called prediabetes. Over 126 mg/dL, we already have a diagnosis of diabetes.
