The best range is between 90-125. I start getting sweaty and loopy if it gets into the 70s. But the main problem is my pancreas doesn't produce the necessary insulin to break down the sugar. Too much sugar in the blood stream starts to destroy the blood capillaries in the extremities. It also results in the nerve endings going haywire, which is why I currently have a lot of neuropathy in my feet. It's a lot of tingling and weird feelings. If it continues the feet can die.
Losing a lot of weight would be a great help to helping me stabilize my sugar in the desired range. But since I am having trouble doing that, I take two drugs: Metphormin and Glipizide. Metphormin is the main aid and the Glipizide acts as a booster to the Metphormin. Earlier this year, my doctor seriously considered putting me on insulin to help me control my diabetes. I bought him because I don't want to go down that road. But it is probably in my future.
It is a fine line to get the sugar levels just right. It's like Goldilocks said, this one is too hot and that one is too cold but this one is just right. Only sugar. And I'm not a girl.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
