Sorry all i forgot to edit my question before submiting, i was asking the normal range blood sugar for a non?
diabetic. I am not for sure i am getting prediabetes. Some please explain. I havent been feeling well espcially after eating, i get nausious, sweaty, headace sometimes. I decided to do a blood sugar check, as my husband is type 2, and it was 183, i checked it again and it was about the same. So i decided to moniter it and my normal fasting is any where from 93-108 and th normal being around 99. but after meals it can go up to 192 and i just dont feel right. i went to the Dr. she did an insulin resistance and test and it was suppose to come back normal . My question is could it come back normal and could i still have prediabetes. or should she did more testing. I currently am on crestor which now my total cholestrol is only 157, trig 59 my good cholestrol is 60 and my bad cholestrol is only 83 much better from before : ) I am also on vesicare for an over active bladder, i still urniate more than 15 times per day. i am about 12 lbs over weight and had 2 babies over 9lbs. i am concerned.

in medicine, blood sugar is a term used to refer to levels of glucose in the blood. Blood sugar concentration, or serum glucose level, is tightly regulated in the human body. Glucose, transported via the bloodstream, is the primary source of energy for the body’s cells.
Normally, blood glucose levels stay within narrow limits throughout the day: 4 to 8 mmol/l (70 to 150 mg/dl). Levels rise after meals and are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day.
Diabetes mellitus is the most prominent disease related to failure of blood sugar regulation.
Though it is called “blood sugar”, other sugars besides glucose are found in the blood, like fructose and galactose. However, only glucose levels are regulated via insulin and leptin.
you should know normal sugar is under 140 when fasting and doctor said check 2 hrs after eating and it should be under 200, it could be your vesicare thats causeing the trouble, if you feed a diabetic you should know to serve 5 or 6 small meals not three bigger ones. fix a salad when you first come home, then give it 2 hrs before you serve dinner and make sure thats at least 3 hrs before bed. if you must have a bed time snack make it a little whole wheat toast or a cracker and a bit of peanutbutter. and a half glass of low fat milk
I think it is safe to say you aren’t prediabetic but actually diabetic now, I could be wrong…
In my hospital the normal range for fasting blood sugar is 70-120, although I know that there is a push to narrow those limits. After meals, your blood sugar will elevate because you ingested sugar and or carbs that were broken down into sugar by your body. If your doctor performed a a lab test and the results were normal, I would not be so concerned. From what you report your fasting blood sugars to run, it does not sound like diabetes or prediabetes. There is another blood test called “Hemoglobin A1C,” that can test what you blood sugar runs over a several month period and what your average blood sugar is. I truly wouldn’t recommend requesting this test, because I believe it would be a waste of money. You have been seen by a physician, tests have been run and your fasting blood sugars are within range.
I hope this helps.
Well the normal range for blood sugar has been on the decline over the past 30 years in the medical field. In the 70′s doctors weren’t concerned until it was over 300, but today a good range is 100+/- Unfortunately it does sound like you are already insulin resistant. You are taking some prescriptions that help lower your numbers on paper but what are you doing for your body to help correct these issues? I’ll put it to you like this. You have a house with a leaky roof. One day it comes in on the west side of the house so you patch it. The next time it rains, the east leaks so you patch it. The third time the south and the fourth the north. Each time you ‘patch’ the area that is bad. If you do nothing to help the rest of the roof eventually you need a new roof. Our bodies have a heaven made defense mechanism built right in if we just treat it right and give it what it needs to succeed! Treating symptoms though is all doctors were ever taught in medical school, by this I mean what meds can help bring those numbers in line. This still doesn’t change the underlying fact that you are still broke until you eat better (low-glycemic meals) walk briskly 5x a week for 30 min and give your body what you don’t get through food with high quality suplementation. You can take control you just need all the facts! Don’t quit taking any meds just learn how you can take control of your life.
The test that you should have is a Glucose tolerance test. You go in fasting, drink a sugary drink and then they test your glucose levels over a couple hour time span. Insulin resistance usually shows up with a higher amount of insulin because the body is trying to compensate for resistant cells. But there ARE rarer types that do not involve excess insulin production. The GTT will tell you for sure whether your body is using glucose as it’s supposed to or not. A1C tests are not meant for diagnosing diabetes. It a test based on averages. If you’re in early stages of diabetes it’s possible to have a normal A1C. Same thing with fasting tests. The GTT, in my opinion, is the best test to diagnose diabetes…with exception to type 1.
