For most healthy individuals without diabetes, here are the general guidelines for blood sugar levels: * Fasting (after not eating for at least 8 hours): 4.0 to 5.4 \text{ mmol/L} (72 to 99 \text{ mg/dL}) * 2 hours after eating: Up to 7.8 \text{ mmol/L} (140 \text{ mg/dL}) It's important to note thaاقرأ المزيد
For most healthy individuals without diabetes, here are the general guidelines for blood sugar levels:
* Fasting (after not eating for at least 8 hours): 4.0 to 5.4 \text{ mmol/L} (72 to 99 \text{ mg/dL})
* 2 hours after eating: Up to 7.8 \text{ mmol/L} (140 \text{ mg/dL})
It’s important to note that:
* Prediabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar is between 5.6 to 6.9 \text{ mmol/L} (100 to 125 \text{ mg/dL}) or a 2-hour post-meal level is between 7.8 to 11.0 \text{ mmol/L} (140 to 199 \text{ mg/dL}).
* Diabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar is 7.0 \text{ mmol/L} (126 \text{ mg/dL}) or higher on two separate tests, or a 2-hour post-meal level is 11.1 \text{ mmol/L} (200 \text{ mg/dL}) or higher.
* The HbA1c test measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. For healthy individuals, an HbA1c level should be below 5.7\% (39 \text{ mmol/mol}).
These values can vary slightly depending on the source and individual factors like age and lifestyle. If you have any concerns about your blood sugar levels, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional.

* Pesticides and Chemicals: Mangoes, like many fruits, can have pesticide residues or other chemicals on their skin from farming practices. Washing helps to remove or reduce these.
* Dirt and Soil: Even if organically grown, mangoes can have dirt, dust, or other environmental contaminants on their surface.
* Bacteria and Germs: Fruits can pick up bacteria and germs from handling during harvesting, transportation, and display in stores. Washing helps to remove these potential pathogens.
* Sap: Mangoes, especially near the stem, can release a sticky, irritating sap when picked. While not directly harmful if ingested in small amounts, it can cause skin irritation for some people. Washing helps to remove this.
How to wash a mango:
* Hold the mango under cool running water.
* Gently scrub the skin with your hands or a soft brush (a clean vegetable brush works well).
* Rinse thoroughly.
* Dry with a clean paper towel or cloth before cutting. .
