One of the most common health disorders Americans face today is diabetes mellitus. More than likely, if you were not diagnosed with diabetes before the age of 30, or are overweight and\/or inactive, you have what is known as Type 2 diabetes. All forms of diabetes require management of blood sugar levels overnight and before daily meals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cNormal\u201d blood sugar is a bit of a misnomer because there are different ranges that are
considered acceptable for pregnant women, people with Type 1 (formerly known as \u201cjuvenile\u201d) diabetes, as well as for those without any form of diabetes. In general, it is recommended to keep blood sugar levels below 140 mg\/dL (or 7.8 mmol\/L in other parts of the world). Notably, before 2015, the American Diabetes Association (or ADA, the leading authority on diabetes mellitus management in the United States) encouraged diabetics to target their blood sugars to be 70 mg\/dL at the lowest. A study that came out at that time showed that people of all ages may have been overtreating to reach that goal, however, and the target was raised to 80 mg\/dL at the lowest (90 mg\/dL for children with type 1 diabetes).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
