By eliminating use of both terms, the final intent of the IFT report will be realized by simply using the term Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food or TCS. Stakeholders that use the FDA Food Code will be able to communicate clearly with others and the public more effectively using this simple term. Emphasis on time and temperature in the name of this definition will focus attention on critical elements of food safety that can be effectively controlled.
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 (non-diabetic) level is between 70 mg/dL and 100 mg/dL. The test is administered in the morning prior to eating, as the test requires a âfastâ of at least 8 hours, otherwise the results will be skewed. A blood glucose level above 126mg/dL is considered a diabetes diagnosis (subject to a confirmatory test).n fact, managing your blood sugar levels (also known as glucose levels) is the core focus of your diabetes self management plan. It doesnât matter if you are focused on your diet, exercise, insulin or medications, all of these components are geared towards managing your sugar levels.
