Keep your blood sugar levels close to normal to avoid many of these complications. The American Diabetes Association's goals for blood sugar control in people with diabetes are 70 to 130 mg/dL before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL after meals.
A normal blood sugar level two hours after eating is less than 140 mg/dL; Diabetes is diagnosed by any one of the following: Two consecutive fasting blood glucose tests that are equal to or greater than 126 mg/dL; Any random blood glucose that is greater than 200 mg/dL; An A1c test that is equal to or greater than 6.5 percent. A1c is an easy blood test that gives a three month average of blood sugars; A two-hour oral glucose tolerance test with any value over 200 mg/dL
