Selecting diets when you are a diabetic – By Dr. Harold Gunatillake  Non- diabetics can eat a multitude variety of foods without selection,but when you are a diabetic there are known restrictions you need to follow to keep your blood sugar within the normal range. In brief, the aim of diabetic treatment is to bring blood sugar (glucose) as close to normal ranges as possible through dietetic and other regimes. During fasting, when you have not eaten any food overnight, should read 70-99 mg/dl  (3.9-5.5 mmol/K) This would be the ranges for non-diabetics. Diabetics should not attempt to reach such low levels, as the chances of going into ‘hypoglycaemia’ may be high. On an average a diabetic should keep the fasting sugar at about 110mg/dl or between 80-130mg/dl (4.4-7.2 mmol/L). If your fasting level is above 126mg/dl falls into the category a‘prediabetic’.

If you have your own glucose testing monitor, you could check it at home when required. In a normal non-diabetic person the reading would be about 90mg/dl. (6 mmol/l). When it reaches 126mg/dl (6.9mmol/l) you would be considered a pre-diabetic. The complications with pre-diabetes and full blown diabetes are similar.
