A doctor (endocrinologist) or registered dietitian can help you determine what blood sugar levels you should try to maintain.
If you are diabetic, you need to test your blood often, before and after meals to learn how foods affect your blood sugar levels.
There are many devices available to test you blood sugar, and a lot of them are either covered by insurance. Ask your Dr. or nurse.

YOUR DOCTOR HAS MOST LIKELY GOT THE INFO THAT YOU NEED. ALL HOSPITALS HAVE A DIABETIS CLINIC THAT YOU CAN GO GET ALL OF THE INFO THAT YOU COULD EVER WANT. DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT YOUR DOCTOR, THROUGH LAB WORK CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS? GOING TO YOUR LOCAL HOSPITAL IS YOUR BEST BET.

What info are you after?
If it's what levels to aim for as a diabetic the various authorities don't quite agree:
mg/dl:
...................pre-meal......2hr PP.....A1c
ADA____90-130___<180___<7%
Joslin___90-130___<160___<7%
AACE___<110____<140___<6.5%
Or, in mmol/L, rounded
...................pre-meal......2hr PP.....A1c
ADA_____5.0-7.0___<10.0___<7%
Joslin____5.0-7.0___<9.0___<7%
AACE____<6___-__<8.0___<6.5%
Make your own judgment on which of those guidelines you think will lead to fewer complications.
