Normally blood sugar never goes below 80 or above 120.
I've heard conflicting reports on this. Some say a fasting reading as low as 60 is just fine. (Mine was a fasting reading.) My doctor seems unworried, but he seems unworried about a lot of things including major pain, so I think I will go ahead and concern myself. :-)
A balanced diet is best. People with glucose problems shouldn't eat really high-protein because it is hard on the kidneys.
Is 20% of your calories from protein "really high"? It's what was recommended for me BUT I don't know how "high" that really is. I know I probably don't eat that much protein naturally, so it'd be an effort to get it.
