Almond consumption decreases fasting and post prandial blood glucose level in female type 2 diabetes subject.: An article from: American Journal of Infectious Diseases

Product Description
Question: An 83-year-old male patient of mine has no history of diabetes (during a random serum glucose test a year ago, his level was 111 mg/dL). He had been advised to consume a nutritional supplement (Ensure) three times a day, but after a day or two of poor oral intake his serum glucose level was 1,400 mg/dL and his glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 8%. How should these findings be interpreted? Does the patient have recent-onset diabetes mellitus?

How to interpret a sudden elevation in serum glucose level?

I have diabetes on both sides of my family and recently I’ve been experiencing a lot of the symptoms, mostly eye problems and migraines. My sugar level was 99, though, which is perfect. What does that mean?

The blood sugar levels or the blood glucose level is referred to the amount of sugar that is present within the blood of a human being. Usually, the body keeps the blood glucose levels at the normal range that is 3.6 to 5.8 mM. It is strongly regulated as the part of a metabolic state of equilibrium.

Glucose is the primary compact of energy stored in the body and it is the main source of energy intended for the body cells, lipids and fats. The glucose is then transported from the liver towards the body cells through the bloodstream and being absorbed with the body cells through the involvement of insulin. Insulin is the hormone that is normally produced by the body through the pancreas.

The normal blood glucose level is 10mM or 140mg/dL. Though the sugar levels may fluctuate in day time, it rises once you finished taking a meal for about one-two hours with little grams. Sugar level is at the lowest point at the morning prior to the first meal for that day and it is termed as the “fasting level”. For the total sum of glucose to the blood is about 3.3 to 7g by presuming the normal volume of an adult blood of 5 liters.

Once the blood glucose level is beyond the normal level range, it is an indication of a problem with the health. The persistent high sugar level is hyperglycemia and the below normal level is referred to as hypoglycemia. The term diabetes mellitus is illustrated by a continual hyperglycemia at any possible causes, it is tagged as the major disease which is related to the failure of blood sugar guidelines. Some transitory hyperglycemia was resulted from severe pressures such as stroke, trauma, surgery or heart attack.

Normal Values
There have been several factors that may affect an individual’s blood glucose levels. The bodies’ homeostatic mechanisms once working normally can reinstate the blood glucose level to a fine range at around 4.4- 6.1mmol/L or 82-110 mg/dL.

In spite of some widely changeable intervals among meals, otherwise the irregular eating of meals with considerable carbohydrates loaded, blood glucose levels will still remain to its normal level range. On the other hand, soon after eating, blood sugar levels might go up temporarily at the height of 7.8 mmol/L or 140 mg/dL.
The post-mealglucose level that is lesser than 10mmol/L or 180mg/dL and the pre-meal glucose level that is of 5 to 7.2mmol/L or 90 to 140 mg/dL was recommended by American Diabetes Association.

The definite amount of sugar within the blood along with the body fluids was very little. To a healthy male adult with 75kg or 165 lbs within a 5 liters or 1.3 gal volume of blood, the blood sugar level is 100 mg/dL or 5.5 mmol/L that corresponds to around 5g of sugar in blood and 45g within the body water.

The importance of normal blood sugar levels is related to trying to prevent the complications of high blood sugar. If your blood sugar level is not within the ideal or normal blood glucose range you can begin to experience short-term and long-term problems.

Normal blood sugar levels may not be normal for you if you have had high blood sugar for a long period of time. High blood sugar or hyperglycemia may go undetected especially if it rises gradually, because you don not notice the symptoms. Or, if you do notice them, you may attribute them to something else.

Some people are not diagnosed with diabetes until they are hospitalized for one reason or another. That reason may be a heart attack or stroke and often is. One reason for this is long-term problems associated with hyperglycemia include heart disease and stroke (as well as blindness, kidney disease, impotence, nerve disease and loss of limbs).

So, you can see that bringing your blood sugar levels down to normal, if they have been elevated, is very important. To complicate the situation, normal blood sugar levels depend on when the test was taken. A fasting blood sugar or blood glucose level is taken after one has not eaten for 8-12 hours and the normal for a fasting blood sugar is lower than after one has eaten.

A nondiabetic will have a normal fasting blood sugar level somewhere between 70 and 100 mg/dL. The a normal fasting, or just prior to a meal, blood sugar level for a diabetic is less than 110 or 120 mg/dL.

Blood sugar levels 1- 2 hours after a meal are less than 140 mg/dL in a nondiabetic. Diabetics will often have higher after meal blood sugar levels with the goal (depending upon the diabetic group or organization) being 140-180 mg/dL or less.

How much a diabetic’s blood sugar levels will increase after a meal depends upon the kind and amount of carbohydrate consumed, if they are producing insulin and if so, how much, and how sensitive their insulin is to the carbohydrate consumed. The rise in blood sugar is also related to the amount, kind and level of physical activity. Physical activity helps to utilize the glucose in the blood, letting it enter the cell where it can be used for energy.

Diabetic medications along with lifestyle changes like physical activity and consistent carbohydrate intakes are used to help bring blood sugars to normal. The goal is blood glucose control to help prevent the complications and symptoms of diabetes, whether the diabetes is type 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 diabetes. The diabetic should work with their health care provider to determine their goal range for blood sugar. The goal, then, is to reach and keep blood glucose in that range on a normal or usual basis. This often requires lifestyle changes in the areas of physical activity, food intake and medication regime.

My sister just took my blood a couple hours after I ate lunch and it was 119. Is this considered high?

I recently did my fasting lab-work and my blood glucose level was 124. My dr says it is elevated and wants me to retest.
I just tested my blood-sugar with a glucometer and it was 145. I ate a small sandwich about 2 hours ago. I am worried that I might be diabetic, or border line.
What is a normal number?

Hi, my brother just went into hospital, and has a 400 blood sugar level, he is on drips, and is being given insulin, and so i was just wondering how high is that?? the doctors mentioned something about a coma??
btw, i found out it was 400, but when he got to the hospital it had reached 580!!
