Hello, Thanks for the query. Ideally blood glucose should be maintained as close as possible to normal levels. Fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg/100 ml & HbA1c% < 6.%. She should take appropriate treatment to maintain glucose levels as mentioned. Apart from giving specific anti-diabetic treatment it is essential to give a properly planned restricted diet that provides exact amount of calories based on ideal body weight, extent of daily exercise and blood glucose levels. It is necessary to see that glucose level does not go too low, (hypoglycemia). Thanks.
