Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Target glucose levels premeal or during a fasting period are 65 to 95 mg/dl.A glucose level of 130 to 140 mg/dl is consistent with expected levels 1 hour postmeal.A glucose level of <120 mg/dl is consistent with expected levels of glucose 2 hours postmeal.A glucose level of 150 to 180 mg/dl is considered elevated for a fasting glucose level and indicates poor glycemic control.
