What are Normal Blood Sugar Levels?

"Using this easy calculator from the ADA, you can translate your most recent A1C result to an "eAG" or "estimate average glucose level."

You can also use this translation when working to improve your A1c and achieving closer to normal blood sugar levels. If you know an A1c of 6.5 is an average blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL or a range of 100 to 152 mg/dL, then you can look at your current blood sugar results on your CGM and meter and pinpoint which time of day you're frequently higher than this range.

12% = 298 mg/dL or range of 240 – 347
11% = 269 mg/dL or range of 217 – 314
10% = 240 mg/dL or range of 193 – 282
9% = 212 mg/dL or range of 170 –249
8% = 183 mg/dL or range of 147 – 217
7% = 154 mg/dL or range of 123 – 185
6% = 126 mg/dL or range of 100 – 152
5% = 97 mg/dL or range of 76 – 120"

CNG Vehicle Conversions

Convert Your Vehicle to Natural Gas (CNG):
Some folks are wondering about converting their vehicles from gasoline or diesel to another fuel like Compressed Natural Gas.  This is a relatively easy, but somewhat expensive conversion, often done for fleet vehicles.  It might make more sense for many of us to buy a used vehicle that has already been converted, but check for local refilling stations first.
Based on a quick Internet search, here are some places to start:

" ... So if you want to green your wheels today, the only way to do it is by hiring a certified compressed-natural-gas (CNG) installer to do the job."  Search for "CNG Installer" and your zip code ...
...
"A flex-fuel engine is important, since it has hardened valves and valve seats, which are necessary for CNG operation."
