Question

1. what are blood glucose targets as outlined by the american diabetes association? glucose control reduces the risk of health complications. a before meal glucose between 80mg/dl and 120mg/dl, after meal glucose between100mg/dl and140mg/dl b glucose between 70 mg/dl and 150mg/dl c before meal glucose between 80mg/dl and 130mg/dl, less than 180mg/dl 2 hours after meals d fasting glucose (glucose levels on an empty stomach) less than 126mg/dl

Explanation:

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends blood glucose targets. For before - meal (pre - prandial) glucose, the range is 80 - 130 mg/dL. For 2 - hour post - meal (post - prandial) glucose, it should be less than 180 mg/dL. Option C matches these guidelines. Option A has incorrect post - meal values. Option B is too broad and not in line with ADA's specific pre - and post - meal recommendations. Option D only focuses on fasting glucose and is incomplete as it does not cover post - meal values.

Answer:

C. Before meal glucose between 80mg/dl and 130mg/dl, less than 180mg/dL 2 hours after meals
