'''Blood glucose''' is the amount of sugar in your blood, measured in mg/dL. mobieusHealth logs it inside [[Vitals tracking]] and grades each reading against the American Diabetes Association ranges, split by whether you measured fasting or after a meal.
Glucose tracking is informational only. It is not a diagnosis and not medical advice. Only a clinician can diagnose or treat diabetes. Bring these numbers to your appointments.
== Log a reading ==
On the '''Vitals''' page:
Enter your glucose in mg/dL.
Choose '''Fasting''' or '''Post-meal'''. The timing travels with the reading and sets which range it is graded against.
Save.
'''Fasting''' means no food or drink other than water for at least 8 hours, usually first thing in the morning. '''Post-meal''' readings are typically taken about 2 hours after you start eating.
== What the ranges mean ==
mobieusHealth uses the ADA thresholds.<ref>{{cite web|title=Diagnosis|url=https://diabetes.org/about-diabetes/diagnosis|website=American Diabetes Association|access-date=June 30, 2026}}</ref>
'''Fasting'''
- '''Normal''': 70 to 99 mg/dL
- '''Pre-diabetes''': 100 to 125 mg/dL
- '''High''' (diabetes range): 126 mg/dL or higher
'''Post-meal'''
- '''Normal''': under 140 mg/dL
- '''Elevated''': 140 to 199 mg/dL
- '''High''' (diabetes range): 200 mg/dL or higher
A single high reading is not a diagnosis. Diagnosis needs repeat testing and a clinician. What matters here is your pattern over time.
== A note on low readings ==
A reading below 70 mg/dL is low (hypoglycemia). If you feel shaky, sweaty, confused, or dizzy, treat it right away with fast-acting carbs and follow the plan your clinician gave you. Log the reading afterward so the pattern is captured.
== Track the trend ==
Because timing travels with each reading, the '''Trends''' card charts fasting and post-meal glucose as separate 30-day lines, each against its own range. Steady habits (same time, same conditions) make the trend far more useful than any one number.
