Blood sugar is monosaccharide in bloodstream from where carbohydrates of foods decomposite. Generally speaking, it refers to glucose. Blood sugar tests results reflect the present blood sugar level.

IDF (International Diabetes Federal) suggests that patients should control glycosylated hemoglobin under 6.5.

Glycosylated hemoglobin is 7%-8%. In this case, patients should pay attention to postprandial blood sugar which is helpful for reducing hypoglycemia reaction. If it is more than 8%, they should give attention to both limosis blood sugar and postprandial. And if it is less than 8%, they should improve postprandial blood sugar. Besides, if limosis blood sugar is more than 7.1mmol/l and glycosylated hemoglobin is more than 8%, it indicates that recent blood sugar control is not good, so patients should adjust their treatment plan.

Blood sugar is 4%-6% which shows your blood sugar control is normal.

Blood sugar is 6%-7% which indicates your blood sugar control is ideal.
