Dr. Shen Yonghua
In patients with type 2 diabetes, a fasting blood glucose level below 6.1 mmol/L is considered normal; a postprandial (2-hour) blood glucose level below 7.8 mmol/L is also within the normal range. If monitored blood glucose levels exceed these thresholds, prompt consultation with a physician is required to assess disease severity, followed by appropriate antihyperglycemic drug therapy.
