Pro & con: should postprandial blood glucose levels be routinely monitored and managed? .: An article from: Family Practice News

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, so I test my blood sugar at least 4 times per day, but I’ve never had an abnormal reading. Most of my readings are between 64 and 88, including after eating. I don’t take insulin.

Occasionally, when I cheat from the diabetes diet (e.g., eating fast food or large quantities of sugar) I will get readings that are normal but high for me (e.g., between 94 and 104).

If I get a “high for me” reading at a time of day in which I would ordinarily eat a snack, should I go ahead and eat the snack? On one hand, I think I should to be consistent and keep my body used to producing insulin at that time of the day. Also, my blood sugar tends to crash into the 60s within a couple of hours if I don’t eat after getting that high of a reading.

On the other hand, I’ve seen several people on here be told never to eat when their sugar levels are high. I don’t know if that logic applies only when the blood sugar readings are abnormally high, or if the logic should also apply to the situation I am describing.

I have hypothyroidism, taking levothyroxine, and My doctor had me tested for diabetes haven’t got the results yet. I have a monitor, test strips, lancents not given to me by my doctor, but some one in my family gave it to us for some reason not sure. it works perfectly. Would it be a goood idea to check my glucose levels every know and then would it give me any idea wither i have diabetes? Is it good to know your glucose levels. How often should i check it?

I am eating very healthy and exercising 45 minutes a day vigorously. I was just prescribed Metformin – was told to take half dose to see if my blood sugars stabilize. They have gone from 277 to 172 to 164 in three days but this is still too high. Doctor said if it wasn’t below 130 to increase dosage but I don’t know how long I should wait.

my mother in law has been diagnosed with stage 2 diabetes. she is on medication in pill form. my question is how often and when should she be testing her glucose levels and why does she say she cannot eat when the number reaches a certain level?

12 hours fasting after foods my levels as belaw
Blood sugar – 105
Total Cholesterol – 232
HDL – 58
LDL – 150
TG – 120
(I’m 37 Male and having on and off chest pain. My Dr.said that My Blood Presure is normal and he has a doubt whether I should start to take medicine or not)
If I start to take medicine, Am I supposed to continue it for whole life?
