as I said before I am not diabetic, I am however IR and on atkins , and I just started met and sometimes I feel kinda icky so I have been checking my blood sugar. My numbers seem to range between 4.4 and 4.6. And I have tested 2 hours after meals and at bed time. Are these numbers concidered normal? Thank you guys for the help!

Andrea,

I had to search a little to find the ranges in Canadian units.

Here are optimal numbers for diabetics, which may be a little different for non-diabetics:

Before meals: 4-7

2 hours after: 5-11

Looks like you are doing fine. Hope that helps.

Linda
