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.

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.
Diabetes is often diagnosed when fasting blood sugar is greater than 125 mg/dL. Fasting blood glucose levels of 100â125 mg/dL are a sign of insulin resistance or prediabetes. Unfortunately, many people who visit their doctor with blood sugar levels within this range are given little to no instruction.
