So for you diabetics and prediabetics what is a good morning number and a good bedtime number?
Do you think some people can just have a "higher" number? Kind of like blood pressure? Or should everyone be the same?
Your body may be able to function w/ a higher blood sugar or higher blood pressure, but it's so hard on the body to function that way. Kind of like a Ford Taurus CAN go 110 mph--but for only a limited time and then it usually just stops; the Taurus just isn't built to run at 110 mph. Your body just isn't built to run w/ a consistently high blood pressure or high blood sugar.

When I had gestational diabetics the MD, and the nutrionist suggested keeping my blood sugar btwn 80-120.

I think a fasting blood sugar is suppose to be below 100 (but, thankfully it's been a long time since my gestational diabetes.)
