Blood Glucose

Blood glucose targets

Diabetes UK currently recommends that people with diabetes aim to keep their blood levels at 4-6 mmol/l before meals (preprandial) and at no higher than 10 mmol/l two hours after meals (postprandial).

Evidence shows that by sticking within these targets you can help to reduce the risk of long term complications associated with diabetes.

Your healthcare team will be able to give your individual medical advice on what targets are best for you.
