Hi @Kaose07 , ideal blood sugar reading pre meals should be between 4-7 mmol/L. Post meal sugar levels should be <10 mmol/L. If these targets can be consistently met most of the time, this translate to good control and we should see a HbA1c reading that is <7%, which is ideal.

Having said that, patients who have specific medical conditions may have looser or stricter targets and your doctor will have to discuss and individualize targets with you.
