What is an ideal fasting blood sugar target?

For most non-pregnant adults with diabetes, fasting blood glucose should be between 70–130 mg/dL, with postprandial under 180 mg/dL and HbA1c under 7.0%.

How often should I consult a diabetes specialist?

Routine follow-ups every 3 months for HbA1c tracking, kidney function screening (eGFR/uACR), and medication adjustments are strongly recommended.
