Diabetic? HT Prime.: You didn't mention whether or not you have diabetes! It makes a big difference in the numbers. Also, if you're diabetic, we need to know which medications you take. In general, for diabetics, the morning blood sugar should be 80-110 mg/dL (ideally less than 100). During the day, anytime after eating, it should not be more than 200 mg/dL. Checking 2 hrs after eating is used to adjust insulin dose.
