Question
My doctor wants me to test first thing in the morning and then before
dinner. She said I will know what the reading should be. However, I am
confused. What is an acceptable reading for these
times?
Answer
"Acceptable readings" are whatever you and your physician (or diabetes
nurse educator) decide are appropriate for you. Normal blood glucose readings
before eating breakfast or dinner are less than 110 mg/dL [6.1 mmol/L].
