what should your blood sugar be for type 2 diabetes

For individuals with type 2 diabetes, blood sugar targets 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 (average over 2-3 months): Less than 7% (individualized based on health conditions)

These targets may vary depending on factors such as age, overall health, and specific medical conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the best targets for you.
