What are Normal Blood Sugar Levels?
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
Some folks are wondering about converting their vehicles from gasoline or diesel to another fuel like Compressed Natural Gas.

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:
