Hey Cliff, check the above chart out I typed. I think US and Canada are on the same board for this. Im quoting from the above chart here "Suboptimal Diabetic" range is anywhere from 7-8.4.
Optimal range for diabetics is Less than 7. So yer doing good bud!
Oh when I do the "prick finger" test. Im usually around 7ish. I think that is where our countries differ...your readings are different but thats because they measure in different "scales"
