What is a good glucose reading before bed?

Non fasting sugar: If you are diabetic, any non fasting blood sugar less than 180 is preferred.

Close to normal: If you can do it safely without hypoglycemia, the best blood sugar reading at any time of day or night is as close to normal as you can get it. Other numbers are totally arbitrary and meaningless.
