Hi Juan,

This is a rather difficult question to answer since everyone's body works differently. If you're simply trying to lower your blood glucose levels, it's not just about how often you eat, but what you eat and how much of it you're eating.

For the average person with diabetes, a target glucose level before meals should be anywhere from 70 to 130. After meal targets should also be less than 180.

Because these numbers are so dependent on what you eat as well, it would probably be best to start seeing a dietician or nutritionist who can help you come up with a weekly meal plan and grocery list that keeps you on track with things.

Were you diagnosed with type 1 or type 2?

I only ask because I've heard numerous stories about people reversing type 2 through proper dieting (i.e. lower fat/processed sugar intake) and exercise. But if you have type 1, hopefully this info can at least help point you in the right direction as far as maintenance therapy is concerned.
