You need to see an Endocrinologist for blood work. Your glucose levels are high, and the sooner you start treatment the better.

After a while, you will know how much insulin or metformin or exercise is required to maintain normal glucose levels. Modern meters have a memory that can recall every test value and the time, and this can be downloaded to your PC. There are many programs with excellent RN's trained as advisors to help you set up a testing schedule. Being involved with such a "helper" is very worthwhile.

Hi, I have got a question concerning blood glucose level. Recently I had infectious mononucleosis and to reduce the fever I was given a medicine called glucim tabs, which contains whole glucan particle. It had been taking it for 2 weeks, 4 times a day. Than on the most recent tests I had a glucose level of 103 mg/dL. Could this have been influenced by the medicine I mentioned?

After 1 month of rebel he developed numbness in his right foot. Now he's worried again , and back to exercise and medication. His blood glucose level at the moment ranges from 120 to 180 during the day which i think is good..BUT my concern is about the morning fasting reading which is always around 145 and i know it shouldnt exceed 125. Why is the highest reading the fatsing one , when he had a light dinner the night before and obviously hasnt eaten all night ? Please help..

"Can somebody explain to me why my morning(bbkfast) glucose levels fluctuate like they appear to be doing." You kept your glucose levels a secret. "Or are my sugar levels ok" You kept this a secret too. "I try to stay away from bad carbs, sugars and starches. I read labels very carefully to avoid pitfalls." That's an attaboy, gus. But are you also keeping a normal weight and doing moderate exercise daily? These help to lower your glucose level.

I am a type two diabetic. I check the blood glucose levels of my four year old son with my meter often. The levels have always been good. The other night however he ate a lot of his Halloween candy and I check his sugar a couple of hours after he had eaten it and his BG level was 159. This really worried me because his sugar levels had never been this high. I checked again in thirty minutes and it was 133. I checked it again in two hours and it was 106.

I sometimes check my glucose level just to keep an eye on it as i am also prone to having low sugar levels as well. Anyway my question to you all is this, i have just taken my glucose level and my reading is 9.9, i had a glass of orange juice an hour ago with a banana, took it as i started to break out in a sweat similar to that of a hypo but found it was fairly high, is this a normal reading?? I am fully aware that levels ideally should be within 4.0 to 6.0..... any ideas please.

A month ago I had a fasting blood glucose and it was 92. I went to Dr. and they did a finger stick yesterday, half an hour after I had drank a bottle of Ensure energy drink. The result was 204, which is high. I took an A1C blood test today. Could the 204 half an hour after eating a sugary drink mean I have diabetes? What kind of tests are used to diagnose diabetes for sure.

The closer to normal a person can keep their blood sugar the better. There are people even with Type 1 diabetes who maintain blood sugars in the 5.0's. If you are asking about a person without diabetes, anything below 5.7 is considered normal. Not at risk? It is hard to say who will go on to develop either type of diabetes, with genetics and insulin resistance as factors. The best anyone can do is improve lifestyle factors such as healthy eating, exercise, and healthy weight level.

Anyone start having problems with their blood glucose levels...seems I am becoming hyperglycemic.....

A fasting of 100 mg/dL is just on the borderline of slight abnormality(impaired fasting glucose), as are your post-meal levels in the 150's(impaired glucose tolerance). I do suggest repeating the glucose tolerance test prior to trying to become pregnant, and also continuing to try to lose some weight.

ALS is another terrible disease, but not necessarily related to either blood pressure or glucose. If you are on prednisone a higher level of insulin is required to maintain the same glucose levels, for example. You would best have your records reviewed by a local registered nurse or physician's assistant if your primary care provider won't take the time to do so.

Tom - I am absolutely convinced simvastatin gradually increased my blood glucose levels. My doctor monitors my numbers every 4 months - cholesterol,glucose,etc, blood pressure. My blood glucose slowly rose over a period of years until it got to the point where my doctor said we have to do something. I am in my late forties and athletic and I don't eat much junk, never drink soda or eat cake or cookies.

How accurate are glucose meters?. The other day, I did two measurements of sugar blood in a row, (same finger) seconds appart and the glucose meter showed a difference in the numbers.

Exercise, as a general rule, will lower the blood sugar and regular exercise will help a diabetic lower or maintain a blood sugar level close to normal.

Eating Right on a Diabetes Diet If you have diabetes, it’s important to eat right every day to keep your blood glucose levels even and stay healthy.

High glucose levels are proven to lead to major health complications - cardio unrest to neurothapy to amputation - especially levels above 300 which are considered very dangerous. One cannot eat whatever they want and expect diabetes medication to perform miracles. They are taken to help/assist the patient gain control, helping those who make lifestyle changes with proper diabetes nutrition, daily physical exercise, and maintaining proper weight.

120 days, the patients could have had both very high and very low glucose levels within that period of time and still have had an estimated average glucose level, as measured by the HbA1c value, within normal limits. However, other measurements of glycemic control, all of which were abnormally high, argue against this possibility. During hemolysis, a state of shortened survival for circulating erythrocytes, the number of glycosylated hemoglobin molecules in circulation is reduced.

I am somewhat in denial because when I went for my Glucose Tolerance Test, just before the 1 hour blood drawing, I felt hypoglycemic. However, that test came back 185 instead of <180, so it was high. In any case, I've met with a nutritionist & am working on modifying my diet. I was told to check my glucose levels in the morning (fasting) and 1 hour after the beginning of each meal. They told me what the levels should be, but I would like a second opinion.

Again, I'm a huge believer that the last thing any diabetic should do is to dwell on their condition. The attempt to monitor the blood sugar level throughout the day can really be a big stress source for many. There was a time a couple of years back that I spent a lot of my spare time researching this condition, and I learned a great deal along the way, no question about it.

Sure, if one OD's by ingesting too much orals or injecting too much insulin will glucose levels drop below normal levels. The objective is to bring your glucose to a normal range, not below it. Depending on the diet and exercise it may or may not exacerbate the condition but not with orals or insulin. I can see your statement applying to Lada's, or with type 1.5'ers, but not type 1 or 2's.

Hello! More often than not exercise will lower blood glucose levels, but there are certain circumstances under which blood glucose levels can actually increase....... You are having fasting blood glucose levels of 110 before exercise... During strenuous exercise your muscles need more glucose so they send a signal for more energy which comes from the blood glucose or stored glycogen in your liver.

Try taking ashwagandha. The herb lowers blood sugar. Also you should lose weight, but you know that.

Why don't they blood test for serotonin levels? Couldn't this help differentiate between a chemical depression and situational one?

I want to tell you that checking your blood glucose levels (bg's) while you are sick is very important and I am glad to hear that you have been doing so. Because of your illness and the medications that you are taking for it, it is extremely important that you keep testing your blood more frequently until you are feeling better (which I hope is soon!). Those factors can contribute to bg fluctuations that are not typical for your body.
