what should blood sugar levels be for type 2 diabetes

For individuals with type 2 diabetes, the target blood sugar levels are typically as follows:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals): 80–130 mg/dL
• Postprandial Blood Sugar (1-2 hours after meals): Less than 180 mg/dL
• A1C Level: Less than 7% (this reflects average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months)

These targets may vary depending on individual health conditions, age, and other factors. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best targets for you.
