a non fasting blood sugar is ok up to 140 as far as I know, and I work in a lab!. but, go with your doctors advice!. I would just avoid refined sugars and other carbohydrates, eat whole grains and foods low in sugar or eat fruits, also find a list of low glycemic index foods, the low glycemic index foods don't make your blood sugar spike up too fast, and eating alot of fiber will stabilize your glucose too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

And also!.!.the normal range of Blood glucose is around 80-100

You really need to ask your doctor that question but I know exactly what you're going through!.
At first, my blood sugar levels were in the 200's range so I had to take insulin to regulate all that!.
My blood sugar levels are much better now - thanks to the insulin!.
I'm 39 weeks pregnant now so it's almost all over for me - thank God!
My baby will be in my arms very soon and hopefully the diabetes will disappear in a few weeks after delivery!.
Fingers crossed!
All the best to you and your baby!
P!.S!. I've always had an incurable sweet tooth, ever since early childhood - I guess I'm paying for it now!Www@Answer-Health@Com
