Are we talking blood-sugar levels? Normal blood sugar is 80 - 120 (I think that's milligrams per deciliter). Our hospital uses 80 - 115; a bit more conservative. Anything that persists over 130 indicates that a person is diabetic. If a diabetic is maintaining his sugar at 180 to 220, he's asking for a peck of trouble -- kidney failure, blindness, nerve problems, infections, etc. Doris in Colorado (Up2Nutrix@aol.com) "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." -- Jim Elliot, missionary and martyr
