Black fungus mucormycosis
What sugar levels make you prone to black fungus post covid? I have only read words like "uncontrolled diabetes" and "high sugars" but never defined a particular sugar level. Is there a general ball park estimate of what sugar levels the new patients are having? PS it has been 45 days post my discharge.

Fungal infections usually occur in immunocompromised individuals. Diabetics with good glycaemic control are not prone for fungal infections as they have good immunity. But diabetics with poor glycaemic control have less immunity and sling with that usage of steroids in covid inf further suppresses immunity.so they get prone to fungal infections.
Next Steps
Target glycaemia in diabetes individuals is fasting 80 _130 mg/dl. 2 hr prandial <180 mg/dl. HbA1c  <6.5%
