I really need the medical community, internationally, to come to an agreement on this thing. One persons tells you one thing and the other person tells you another.
As a 20 year old type 1 diabetic. Blood sugars 77 to 140 are perfectly healthy. Fasting blood sugars should be below 130 and after two hours blood sugars should be below 140. You’re never going to have a blood sugar that constantly stays in the 90s. It’s just not possible
Mike Landwolf I’m a diabetic and I don’t eat healthy at all lol. However my blood sugars are still good because I use my meal time insulin to cover all the carbs I’m eating or drinking
chris rambo you should check out Dr Jason Fung on YouTube, or read his book “The Diabetic Code” how to prevent or reverse diabetes’s… you should make a point to do this now before you get into trouble and wind up with high medical bills because you discover your blood sugar is way out of control and wind up in the ER. 3 hours there with an IV and it cost me almost $4,000 bucks. Test often and regulate your diet as needed. And read the book. It’s available at your friendly neighborhood library.
Thank you for that. I’ve been looking for that information for a long time. You gave it straight and simple.
You should also have included empty stomach and post-meal definitions of ranges of blood sugar.
Can someone tell me where I can find up to date information on the latest guidelines and numbers for glucose & A1c for non-diabetics as well as diabetics (2019). I am finding conflicting information. What organization(s) or council(s) set the standards. If you have a link, I would appreciate it. The numbers I am finding are all over the place and accuracy is needed. Thanks so much.
Thank you Dr. for teaching us the Numbers for This information thank you.
And false!
Ranges are changed for each element in health I read a very recent article on the changes in normal BP levels. The reason given for the change was because “it hadn’t been upgraded since 2013” With the lower markers, it definitely puts more patients in the category of needing medication I am sure that is the mindset behind the change in blood sugar levels.
Knowledge is not static and changes with new discoveries, very much so in medicine. If you think there is a conspiracy to lower markers to sell more medication, it’s your choice, but I disagree with you. The research and medical community is not full of people sold to the pharmaceutical industry. It has been found with long term research that blood levels deemed correct a few years ago were still too high and caused serious health problems on the long run. The solution to these problems is now being presented as a very low regimen of sugar and carbohydrates by these researchers. I have lowered my blood glucose levels to the new limits in six months and because of that my doctor took me completely off Metformin, I also lost 85 pounds. Have a look at the ketogenic diet if you suffer from diabetes and you will see an improvement in you health without needing medication.
Dr Williams is a rare breed of doctor, he identifies the cause of your problem, not just treat your symptoms. He is a walking medical encyclopedia. Where are you doc? Our family misses you very much.
Thanks for this helpful information regarding blood sugar levels.
This tutorial video has
been really beneficial!!disease can be fatal if not treated well.
Every ailment depends on the lifestyle of a person and everyone should follow a
healthy lifestyle along with correct ,medication . You can prefer planet

I was diagnosed with diabetes in mount sinai nyc, the doctor prescribed insulin to me 😅
I went to Sungapore for vacation with family and got a second opinion. The doctor confirmed the diagnosis but disagreed with treatment. He told me i should change my lifestyle:
1) intermittent fasting for 16 hours,
2) no sugar, fruits, bread, rice, (or any carbohydrates that will be converted into glucose in blood stream).
3) eat vegetables (limited starch ones like potatoes, yams, etc)
4) drink more waters
5) no dairy products
6) can drink coffee and tea
7) no alcohol (I don’t drink it anyway)
8) my wife does warm drinks like ginger, mint, black pepper with turmeric, etc
9) workout daily (one hour only).
My main issue was insulin resistance, and within 3 months, my glucose level went close to normal; and after 6 months later A1c test show normal.
Therefore, no insulin is needed 💪🏻 not to mention i lost weight too 😂
At 58 years old, the V.A. provided me with a Blood Sugar Monitor and suggested that I “home test” from time-to-time. I checked my “non-fasting” blood sugar level today at about 2:00 pm, my level was 100 on the nose. I’m good with this reading.

This is glorious, been searching for “what foods help lower blood sugar quickly?” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across – Anebriel Foundational Ascendancy – (search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to reverse type 2 diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got cool results with it.
Thanks for the video, I am using Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre with Ambrosia’s blucon and can get my glucose readings on my apple watch even without the phone. I can share readings with upto 5 people in almost real-time. Can get alarms and my loved one can also get an alarm if my glucose is out of range.
one of my friend suggested me for Ambrosia device, now I am using it for last 6 months which always track me the glucose, insulin, exercise on one platform and I am able to extend the life of my sensor with the help of Blucon for another 14 days.
American Endocrinology Association. A HbAIC of under 5.7% is considered normal. 5.7-6.4% prediabetic. Over 6.5% is consider diabetes. The number are getting lower on fasting BS as they do more testing with normal groups of people. And finding what leads to the best longer term outcomes.
@James Kantor Thanks so much
@James Kantor Can you send the link where you found this. I tried to no avail. I would like to get accurate info on what ranges should be pre/post meal, fasting etc. for non-diabetics as well as diabetics. Thanks.
Nice video, I have NightRider cgm and Libre sensor for monitor the glucose values on phone without scanning and finger prick. Also, I share my glucose data as well as my food insights, activity data to my endo. I found all these features are very useful.
95 – this is arbitrary and a ballpark. 70-110 is still the universal accepted normo-glycemia in fasted state, because there is a degree of biological variation and fluctuation. It’s important to remember that Blood glucose measurement using modern Enzymatic methods and more historic chemical methods in whole blood, serum, and plasma, can gave differences in values of 2 to 20%, depending on method used, time of collection, whether venous, arterial, capillary, and different reagents used – that means a 95 glucose could be somewhere between a 76 and 114 mg/dl, range. (plumb in the middle of the normal distribution curve, by the way). Also, this actually falls in to the acceptable error range bounds for some National standards for Glucometers, and in laboratory jargon, it is close to the “reference change value” – The minimum change required to conclude that two serial measurements are likely different due to the combined effects of analytic and biological variation. The RCV for Glucose is about 15%, that means if you have a 95 mg/dl glucose, you would need to show a value below 80 mg/dl, or above 108 mg/dl, to show that it was a true change of statistical significance!
The Folin Wu method of the 1920s, would give 80-120 mg/dl as the fasted normal sugars reference range, but this also contained about 15-20% reducing sugars other than glucose, so that the true glucose numbers would be about 60 to 100 mg/dl in the whole blood, but 70 to 110 in plasma and serum values, as the plasma and serum carry a higher concentration than whole blood. Plasma actually tends to have slightly higher glucose values than serum samples, by a couple percentage, if the serum is not collected quickly. Perhaps a 95 Serum in this laboratory is about a 99 Plasma equivalency, that is only conjecture but possible. The main point, is that, just like cholesterol, and other labs, and even vital signs like pulse and blood pressure – these values change throughout the day, in a circadian rhythm, or if foods are ingested and other metabolic activities. Consistent numbers of say, 105 or 115 mg/dl, instead of your usual 95 mg/dl, now that would be call for some concern if one carries risk factors of diabetes, and a call to your doctor is warranted. A 95 , however, would be piss average in the prior century and any society that eats more than a few handfuls of carbohydrates in a day – and I don’t know of a single culture that attained civilization, and society, which was entirely carnivore and zero carb – (can’t think of any off hand anyways) the brain and body needs a certain amount of sugars, for cognitive and motor function.
What if you are a small person – should it be measured differently than a large person?
Hi Dr
I have just been diagnosed T2D. My 3 month ave was 104. Cholesterol was 0. I was prescribed metformin 500mg and told how to introduce it to my body.
HOWEVER, I;m not happy with the eventuality of becoming a slave to meds. I’m 64 and want to reverse it with a low/no carb diet and have researched it. Am I safe to ignore the metformin and undertake, with mmol blood checker, this low/no carb diet being mindful that I may encounter glycomic symptoms and need an occasional boost to my sugar levels.
Sincerely

Hate to rain on your parade but home glucose monitors are notoriously inaccurate with single readings sometimes off by as much as 35% high or low. I’ve been monitoring my blood glucose for more than 40 years and have seen so many inaccurate that at a penny apiece I’d be a rich man! This doesn’t mean all readings are incorrect, but it does mean that a single reading must be taken with a grain of salt. My advice is to take 4 or 5 readings a day both before and after meals as this will give you a reasonably accurate estimate.
The old ranges were largely based upon random blood glucose reading taken by doctors and hospitals. Not surprisingly a large percentage of the people tested were suspected of either being diabetic or on the road to becoming diabetic. Not surprisingly this led to early estimates being high. Additionally when I first became a Type 1 diabetic 49 years ago there was no way a diabetic could self test and only very crude tools for monitoring and adjusting blood glucose. Even today maintaining “normal” blood glucose can be very difficult and doctors often settle for a fairly wide range.
After every two years, Who Changes standard norms for healthy and Diebetic . Because they want to have more patients under medication,, for their business. Therefore have healthy life style and mental stability.
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
I have using Blucon for my mother, it helps us a lot to track her readings from anywhere and control her glucose better.
It’s clear that chronic high glucose levels lead to health issues, but can you clarify what’s wrong with temporary glucose spikes? Like the ones caused by eating a banana or an apple. Is it a great workout for the beta cells in pancreas to quickly ramp up insulin production? Thank you in advance, somehow I can’t find any good research on this topic.
One can develop Type 1 diabetes at any age usually diagnosed at younger age. Type 1 does not happen due to eating sugar it happens because of pancreas not working. you should get her checked. frequent peeing is one of the signs for diabetes. good luck.
Nice video, I have been using FreeStyle Libre with BluCon NightRider to keep track of my glucose levels on the phone and watch. It helped me a lot with great flexibility and helped me manage my glucose condition in the best possible way.
my fasting is around 110-123. when i ate penne alfredo it went to 253. i started a keto diet and today its at 112 2 hours after meal. my device has a ketone function too. it shows very high. between 4-14 mmol/l at one point. the last two days its at 6-7 mmol/l. am i at risk of dka or is my device faulty? i am dieting eating one medium meal a day and some yogi in the evening rn to lose weight.
Dr. Fung has great videos on how to reverse it. Check him out. What do you mean Cholesterol was 0?
