Type 2 diabetes​
pre-prandial
4 to 7 mmol/L		2 hour post prandial
under 8.5 mmol/L
What is recommended is as above. So it all depends on when you are getting the range of 6 and 8. The post prandial levels is better considered as being no more than 2-3mmol/l higher than the pre-prandial and no more than 8.5mmol/l.
The level suggested by your nurse is one to aim at.
