The first step in avoiding diabetes can be as simple as knowing the ideal blood sugar range and adapting eating habits to increase or decrease glucose in the body. This is normal. The average range of sugar in the body after meals should be between 140-160 mg/dl. For people with type 2 diabetes, the American Diabetes Association also recommends that blood sugar targets be individualized.

Hyperglycemia means high levels of blood sugar, also known as blood glucose. Most modern treatments look at resolving the symptoms, preventing further complications, and holding what we would call hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) at bay by promoting the production or sensitivity of insulin, in order to prevent worsening of the disease and further damage.
