Hi, these are the safe blood glucose livels for people who are not diabetics.
Before breakfast...... 110
before lunch, or supper...... 110
two hours after meals...... 140
bedtime......120
hba1c 6%

people with diabetes have slightly higher readings at these same times, but are not supposed to be that much higher to be safe.
