How much it must be the ideal blood sugar

Hi! I'm Stelios Pantazis. I'm a doctor and I specialize in medical nutrition and metabolic disorders. Today, I'd like to talk about the ideal blood sugar measurement. We all know that the normal range given by most laboratories is 70-105 or 110. In reality, although the upper limit is normal, it's not ideal. This is something we've recently realized. A unique American organization called Kaiser Permanente, which is something like an insurance organization that defines the premiums based on lifestyle, namely people who exercise pay less etc., and which is, therefore, more about preventive medicine than treatment in case of disease, which is what happens anyway, but I won't analyze this further, started collecting the data of people that got a regular check-up, namely they measured their blood sugar levels every year, in order to find out which "normal" blood sugar level increases the risk for future diabetes mellitus. And they came up with an algorithm that says that every milligram of blood sugar above 85 increases the chances of developing diabetes mellitus in the following 10 years by 3%. Let's see what this means. 85 is 20 units below the upper normal limit, if we presume that it's 105. What does this mean? If, instead of 85, you have 86, the chance of being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus in the next 10 years is 3%. If, instead of 85, you have 90, the chance of being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus is 15%. If you have 95, which is something I see very often, the chance is 30%. While if you are at the upper normal limit, let's say 105, which many will say is normal, and it is indeed, the chance of being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus in the next 10 years is 60%. Therefore, it is certainly normal, but it shouldn't reassure the people having such a number. It should motivate them, so that they seek ways to lower it, with diet and exercise. That's all. Thank you very much. Bye!
