Rodzaju: Does USA use a different scale for blood sugar than UK?
I'm forever being told that my blood sugar SHOULD be between 6 & 8.
I was diagnosed as diabetic when a test showed it was 30 something.

Psyringe: Yep, there are two scales commonly used right now, and there are geographical differences about which one is more popular.

Let me look for a link ...

Edit: Here is an explanation that is probably way more in-depth than appropriate, but the first 4 paragraphs explain the two scales, their differences, and their usage. :)
Thanks! I knew there was another scale, but was clueless as to how it was supposed to work.

I realise the contest is over but I wanted to post this anyway.

I'm a Diabetic type 1, I got the disease when I was 14 years old. I'm now 28. On November 16th, 2009 I had a left vertebral artery stroke caused by the disease. I lost my vision for 3 days and was diagnosed with visual aphasia. my spatial perception and hand eye cordination were messed up for months. I fully recovered 6 months after with no further side effects and am back to being completely normal.

It was a real wake up call to start taking the disease seriously. I lost about 20 pounds since then. I see a endocrinologist to help manage it and am closer to stable sugars than I ever had been before. Folks if you have the disease please take care of yourselves and see an endocrinologist as they can really help. If you take care of yourself you really can live a long life without too many complications. I'm blessed and lucky to still be here today.

As my old man says (he has type 2 of the disease) its not a death sentence if you do the right things. Staying positive and dealing with it is the best course of action.
