Hi Coley-- I can give you some basic information, although you do need to research further... A non-diabetic person usually maintains a blood sugar within a specific range. Let's say between 70 to 120 fasting, but that's US. A diabetic can be all over the scale.. one morning his fasting blood sugar could be 82, the next it could be 162. When he then gets on medication and checks his blood sugar, the goal would be to maintain his blood sugar within certain limits, depending on whether he has eaten, exercised, is sick, etc... (those things will affect everyone's blood sugar).. The more "even" or stabilized your blood sugar is, the easier it is to maintain. A stabilized blood sugar also does a lot less damage to body systems... Hope this answers your basic questions... please surf and find all you can... Best of luck to you. Kay
