Manage Diabetes Without Drugs
The major sugar in your blood and your body's main source of energy is glucose, generally known as blood sugar. Blood sugar levels fluctuate throughout the day. A typical fasting blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dl (before you eat or drink in the morning). Blood sugar levels should be under 200 mg/dl at all times of the day, regardless of when or what the previous meal was. Blood sugar levels that are higher than these two thresholds may indicate prediabetes, Type 1 diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not make enough insulin or does not utilize it adequately to keep blood sugar levels in check.
