There are several ways to better understand what is a normal blood sugar – or blood glucose level should be for people with diabetes, or even pre-diabetes.

Furthermore, monitoring blood sugars at home is the best way to stay in good diabetes control, and Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose is included in the standards of care from the American Diabetes Association.1 The Joslin Diabetes Center at Harvard Medical School concurs with this, too.2

With that in mind, knowing these “numbers” is of paramount importance. And these numbers must be set on a personal basis with your healthcare team.



"[Notwithstanding] a number is just a number if you don’t understand what it means," says Diabetes Educator Susan Sloane. "And how to correct it if the number is not within your own target range."

Having been a registered pharmacist for more than 29 years and a Certified Diabetes Educator for most of her career, Susan also raised two sons with diabetes, so she is an expert on this topic.

She also points out that some studies have shown that "the risk of complications is higher in the type 2 patient" with diabetes than in the type 1 patient.3 This may be due to the fact that type 2 diabetes generally takes a long time to manifest symptoms in patients.


So let’s look at type 2 diabetes in general, and then we’ll cover pre-diabetes.

There are 4 key times when blood sugar levels should be noted. They are when you wake up before breakfast (also known as fasting), before snacks and meals (besides breakfast), two hours after meals, and finally at bedtime (because this may impact your numbers the following morning).4



People with type 2 diabetes should aim to have 70-130 mg/dL before all meals and snacks (people without diabetes tend to have lower fasting numbers). Two hours after meals blood sugars should remain under 180. And finally, before bedtime, blood glucose levels should be 90-150 mg/dL.5

Now pre-diabetes is a symptom of high blood sugar levels, but not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. They are at risk to develop type 2 diabetes within a decade, unless they do something about it!6

Typically, anyone who’s fasting plasma blood glucose levels are between 100-125 mg/dL have impaired fasting glucose and would need to undergo an oral glucose tolerance test by a doctor and only after the results would a doctor diagnose the patient as pre-diabetic.

So if you have a hunch your blood sugars are a little high, you just have to balance your blood sugar properly.

This new product has everything you need to properly monitor your blood glucose levels. Plus, it has 5 essential tools that aims to simplify diabetes management. I’m going to reveal them soon, but first let’s dig in and understand the issue at hand.

You see, until recently, diabetes kits were big and bulky. And even though keeping your diabetes at bay is a whole lot more than just checking your blood glucose levels, sadly that’s pretty much the only thing they were good for. In the digital age, though, we must demand more. With an abundant of technological advances in recent years, we have to rethink what is essential for a blood glucose monitor. Because you know that simplifying diabetes management is more than just measuring your blood glucose levels.

To make matters worse, it seems that every day there’s a new app made for your smartphone that can deal with a specific problem. Want to know how many steps you took yesterday? There’s an app for that.

Want to know how well you slept last night? Yes, there’s an app for that.

And do you want to know your heartrate while you’re reading this article right now? Yes, you guessed it. There’s an app for that, too.

So why isn't there anything that can simply and accurately check your blood glucose levels?

Well there is, and it’s making headlines across the country. So much so it recently appeared on The Dr. Oz Show.

It’s called Dario

Dario is the new generation in blood glucose monitoring systems.

And it is clever.

“...I think it’s a great concept and a very accurate little meter. The creators really did their homework on this device.”

- Sarah Kaye, diabetesdaily.com

Here are 5 essential tools that the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System packs into its pocket-sized device:

Say good-bye once and for all to those big, bulky diabetes kits, because the Dario system will fit into your pocket or purse.

Dario is designed with you in mind. It is simple to use and has a compact design, which changes the landscape of what a typical blood glucose meter looks like. We’ve embedded the lancing device, the meter and the strips into a pocket-sized, all-in-one device which is perfect for your on-the-go lifestyle. The Dario’s all-in-one device along with our free mobile application lets you check blood glucose levels in seconds, quickly and accurately, directly on your smartphone.

“The {Dario} device has been perfect, I love it. I love that it's small and discreet enough. I can now test my sugars within 20 seconds, all from the bottom of my iPhone and no one around is none the wiser... I also love that it's "all in one". I've been using it now for around 4 - 5 months. The app is great at logging and motivation with its % scoring system.”

- Robbie K.

On Demand Sharing

Does your child have diabetes? Or perhaps an elderly parent? Well no need to fret anymore, because the Dario app can seamlessly share real-time information with loved ones.

“My son is 9 years old. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 5 years old. We have had the Dario for about 4 weeks now. Absolutely loving it. It has given us the freedom for him to attend birthday parties and I can see his levels from home and have peace of mind…. I love Dario so much I purchased a second one… We find the blood glucose readings on the Dario much more reliable too…I must add he had his first sleepover because of the Dario. So thank you for this technology.”

- Belinda B.

In addition, the Dario app lets you send historical blood glucose levels, charts, and statistics directly to your healthcare team.

This ushers in a new era of healthcare possibilities and enables everyone that needs to be kept in the loop, is kept in the loop. When diabetes is managed by a team—and not just you—everyone wins!

Emergency Hypo Alerts with GPS Locator

To add an additional safety level, the Dario system is built with an emergency hypo alert feature. Once enabled, Dario will prepare a text message to up to four people with your blood glucose level plus a link to where you are using your smartphone’s GPS coordinates.

We recommend using this safety feature, especially if you or your loved one has had hypo issues in the past. Now you can go anywhere, anytime with peace of mind.

Our goal is to provide you with a tool for standard and consistent measurement of carbs, so that you can eat freely without having to calculate every single thing, every single time.
