What are normal blood sugar levels?

Fasting below 100 mg/dL, two-hour post-meal below 140 mg/dL, and HbA1c below 5.7%. The 100-125 / 140-199 / 5.7-6.4% bands indicate prediabetes; at or above 126 / 200 / 6.5% indicates diabetes, confirmed by a clinician.

Is type 2 diabetes reversible?

Type 2 can often reach remission (normal sugar without medication), especially early, through significant weight loss, activity and diet. It is managed, not cured, so habits must continue. Type 1 always needs insulin.

Does walking lower blood sugar?

Yes. Contracting muscles pull glucose from the blood without needing insulin. A 10-minute walk soon after meals is one of the most effective ways to reduce post-meal spikes.

How do I convert HbA1c to average blood sugar?

Use the formula eAG (mg/dL) = 28.7 x A1C - 46.7. For example, an A1C of 7% equals an estimated average glucose of about 154 mg/dL.

Can diabetics eat rice or fruit?

Yes, in controlled portions and paired with protein, fiber or healthy fat to flatten the spike. Prefer whole fruit over juice and choose brown rice or millets over white rice.
