There is only ONE Normal
New post by LowCarbRN on Normal blood sugars.
https://lowcarbrn.wordpress.com/201...al-blood-sugar/ With charts that don't copy.

I was doing another post today about “normal” vs “optimal” health markers. This subject was deeply on my mind, but really deserved it’s own post. Although this one will be short and sweet, to the point! I need to ask…does this chart bother anyone else as much as it does me?
This chart that makes people think that a blood sugar of 150 or 180 is GOOOOOOOD!?!? Diabetic or not, blood sugar that is 2-3 times true normal blood sugar is NEVER GOOD! There has become a double standard in blood sugar control. We have “normal” and we have “diabetic normal.” Why? How can you call blood sugar “normal” that is causing organ damage, is contributing to heart disease, strokes, Alzheimer’s, kidney disease, erectile dysfunction, and can lead to blindness and amputations?
Having a second standard of “normal” blood sugar, as in “diabetic normal” is giving those with diabetes the false sense of security thinking that an A1c of 6.0 – 7.0% is healthy, that they don’t need to modify their lifestyle any further because they are in the “normal” range. This has done a HUGE disservice to those with diabetes.
Blood sugar is only normal when it is in the SAME RANGE as those WITHOUT diabetes.
There is only ONE normal.
“Diabetics are entitled to the same normal blood sugars as non-diabetics,” – Dr. Richard K. Bernstein (Type 1 Diabetic for 60+ years).
Yes, they ABSOLUTELY are! And that is what people with diabetes should confidently strive for.
