Blood Sugar Levels Normal

Posts Tagged ‘diabetic’

dad is a type 1 diabetic and he says 80 to 120 but mine is weird somtimes my fasting bloodsugar will be 109 one week then 94 the next then 105 then 100 im so confused and im worried i might have it. I went to the doc for peeing alot but he diagnosed me with prostititis ? Thats basicly the only symptom i have .

My dad has type 2 diabetes, and recently had open heart surgery, he was on 2 different pills before the surgery to manage his diabetes, but they weren’t working. After the surgery his dr put him on insulin along with the pills. His dr started lowering his doses of insulin because his sugar levels were running way to low (in the 50’s overnight). The last 2 days he hasn’t had any insulin, the highest number he’s had has been 244 (after eating), but drops within an hour. My question is since he just stopped taking the insulin, how high should his blood sugar get before we start worrying about it?

I went to the doc today and told her how I have a sweet metallic taste in my mouth and I thought it might be diabetes. She pulled up my records and said that my recent blood test showed that my blood glucose levels were normal so I can’t have diabetes. I don’t really trust my doctor… So is this true?

just went to get blood work and it turned out i was at 90 (overnight fasting) for blood sugar levels. should i be concerned even though dr, said that was normal? what is normal by the way?

If a diabetic, who is not on medicine, but is doing exercise and a non-diabetic person eat the same time, same food with carbohydrates, can they be both have same blood sugar level when they both test it after eating?

Diabetes runs in the family. My mother, sister, gran, etc all have it. Randomly I did a blood check (the pinprick machine) one morning and I had 7.0 (very high before breakfast considering it should be between 4 and 6). So I had a slice of wholegrain toast and went from 9 to 3 without eating. Did another pinprick test and I got 11.2, I’m like “woah”. So I go to the doctor’s and they say “right, fasting blood glucose check”. I waited a few days, did the fasting blood test and controlled my sugar levels throughout the week by eating very healthily, counting carbs and taking cinnamon tablets to help lower blood sugar. Although still very slightly high they weren’t as bad – I was waking up with 4.5 and 2 hours after wholegrain I had 6.2. On Tuesday I received my results and I was absolutely fine – my average is 5.5 and the range was from 3.5 – 6. Thinking that I was back to normal I went to university and had lasagne and lots of coffee. I got back just now (3 hours after eating), washed my hands, did a pinprick test and I got 16.2… in a few words, what on earth is going on? Are my results wrong?

A few months ago, I was diagnosed as a diabetic following a series of blood tests (in which my blood sugar count was consistently more than 13 mmol/L.

I was started on medication (Metformin, 500mg, twice a day). Based on a hunch, I got myself one of those blood sugar measuring devices, stopped taking the medication for a couple of days and started taking my own readings.

This revealed my fasting (of 12 hours) blood sugar to be 5.6 mmol/L, two hours after breakfast to be 6.7 mmol/L, two hours after lunch to be 6.5 mmol/L and 6.9mmol/L after dinner and before bedtime. If I’m to believe what I’ve been reading, this is a normal blood sugar level of a person without diabetes.

I’ve stopped taking medication for over a week now and have been monitoring my blood sugar level, and it’s been around the figures I’ve mentioned above when taken randomly as well. Should I stop taking medications and go on with my life? Could I have been misdiagnosed?

Im diabetic and i was wondering: once i eat something, how long will it take before my glucose levels start to rise?

I am diabetic for the past 3 years and South Indian aged 37. My Fasting Blood Sugar in Morning is always in the range of 150 – 200. But the Random Sugar level in evening drops down to the range of 100 – 150 with out any medication when tested 6 hrs after a normal south Indian Lunch and sugarless Tea in between. I check the sugar levels at Lab weekly once. My daily diet is Light breakfast, Normal Rice Lunch and Dinner with Chappathi avoiding Sweet items.
Is it normal to have high Sugar level in Morning?Please advise.

I wear an insulin pump that normally manages my glucose levels well. I’ve recently been thrown into a divorce action after 40 years of marriage. I’m very upset. My glucose levels have been runnung very high in the 280 range and I can’t lower them with additional insulin (bolus) from my pump. Because I’m upset, I’ve eaten very little in the past 3 days.
