Q: What Is YOUR BG (Blood Glucose) “window” (range) That Determines If You Think Your Number Is Good, Average, Or Bad?

4-8 (72-144) at least 85% of the time makes me happy. Time In Range and Standard Deviation is crucial to my management.

This has kept my a1c at the lower end of the pre-diabetic range for 6+ yrs. and hopefully far away from any complications.

My A1C stays right around 5.8 on 500 Metformin once a day. I started this journey on 2000 Metformin. My Dr. wants me to be off meds by July.

5.0-8.0 (90-144) Post Prandial (2hrs after meal)

My CGM Time In Range target for good numbers

3.9-8.0 (70-144) at least 85% of the time
