What is the normal sugar level for type 2 diabetes?

I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. My doctor told me about target sugar levels, but I want to know what's considered the general normal sugar level for someone with this condition.

Yaar, sugar levels can be tricky. My friend who has type 2 diabetes has to get his tests done quite often, and it adds up! He tries to manage his diet strictly to avoid extra costs on medicines and tests. It's a whole plan.

Hello ji, for type 2 diabetes, the 'normal' can vary a bit depending on the person and doctor's advice. Generally, they aim for fasting sugar below 130 mg/dL and post-meal below 180 mg/dL. But it's best to discuss with your doctor what is right for YOUR specific case.

It's good you're asking this. Your doctor will be able to tell you the exact normal range for your specific condition. Don't worry, just keep consulting them.

Oh, this is such an important question! I always get so worried about these numbers. For type 2, I think doctors usually give a target range. It's not one fixed number for everyone, which makes me think, are my readings okay? Make sure to note down your readings and show them to your doctor regularly.

I have BP, so I know how important it is to keep checking these things. For sugar in type 2, your doctor will give you a specific range to aim for. Lifestyle changes are super important, like reducing sweets and staying active. Regular check-ups are non-negotiable, trust me.

For type 2, keeping sugar in check is mostly about what you eat and how active you are. My trainer always emphasizes balanced meals and regular exercise. It's not just about medication, right? Consistency is key.
