Avatar n tn Should I eat a pure protein snack before bed.
Avatar n tn 30 am, this would indicate that your insulin dose was too large for the foods that you ate. Perhaps the amount of carbs in the food was less than you expected, and thus the amount of insulin injected was too much. Have you tried basal and bolus testing to determine your ideal rate?
Avatar f tn Well I found out the next day my blood pressure was high. It has been fine since. But this morning I got really lightheaded and a headache all of a sudden(which I know is normal in pregnancy) but I checked my blood pressure again to see if that was it, and it was perfect. So I checked my blood sugar and it was 79, I had just had a fruit smoothie. The medical assistant at work told me it was low, and then another told me it was slightly low. My question is does anyone know what it should be?
Avatar n tn If you go to bed high and you do not have enough medication in your system(either insulin or pills) to handle it, then you will wake up high as well. Check your bedtime sugar and see what it is. If it is too high then you need to treat that before going to bed, taking care not to bring it down too low before hitting the sheets. Drink water. You can have food at night(I disagree with the other member) as long as your sugars are in the right range prior to going to bed.
Avatar f tn I am a type II diabetic and I would like to know what is considered a "good" blood sugar reading for me when I test at different times of the day....before meals, after meals, fasting in the morning, at bedtime and other random times during the day.
Avatar n tn All of my number are ok EXCEPt my fasting blood sugar. I'm not in any medication.
Avatar n tn Could he be running high at night for his average to be up? I also know that at times he does check his sugar before bedtime and it's in the 60's. Is there anything he can do to avoid going on oral agents and insulin? Also, what do you think about cinnamon and other herbs?
Avatar m tn Any sustained blood sugars over 140 are when complications begin. So if the blood sugar spikes up that high and comes right back down it isn't as bad as if it stays there for awhile, but it would be better not to get that high altogether. But it really doesn't make sense that your blood sugar would be that high right after eating. It usually takes awhile to reach its highest point which is why we are told to test at 2 hours (though some people hit their peak a bit sooner).
Avatar m tn To my surprise it was 264. I am on 25 units of Glargine, 10 mg glipazide, which I take before bedtime. Why would my level be so high?????
Avatar n tn Are you on a restricted diet? I'm on a high protein/high fat diet (Atkins revised diet). It's working for me to drop glucose and pounds. I hate working out so I go to low impact classes which are actually fun.
Tbd com/diabetes/morning-high-blood-sugar-levels. Our body releases hormones at night that in turn makes our blood sugar go up. It can also occur when you didn't have enough insulin the night before. The linked article has ways to combat that. You've been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes?
Avatar f tn I have high blood sugars in the morning and was told this was a condition called Predawn Syndrome. Has anyone else heard of this or have it. Ask your doctor if this could be what you have too.
Avatar n tn My mother was just diagnosed with type 1, she is having issues keeping her blood sugar down. She's a very small and petite woman and is having trouble planning meals and keeping her blood sugar down. Especially having trouble with her snacks before bedtime. Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Avatar f tn The first issue is whether or not it is compensatory (in the case of asthma and COPD, for example), in which case it should be fooled with cautiously. The other possibility is idiopathic high-blood prerssure, with no known causitive factor. Your blood pressure readings are a bit high but not dangerously high. You did not record the pulse. Without knowning the pulse the blood pressure reading is meaningless.
Avatar n tn @joyel - I eat dinner around the same too and used to get the hunger pains when I hit bed at 11 pm. Here's what I found that works for me; around 8, I may snack on nuts, or have a small bowl of low carb/no sugar O's, wheat shreds, or corn flakes topped with sugar free hemp milk. Or, one slice low carb [12g], 0 sodium, 0 sugar toasted whole wheatberry bread with pure peanut butter topped with sugar free jam. You'll feel satisfied w/o worry of raising blood sugars.
Avatar m tn IT IS THE BEST THING FOR US IN A LONG TIME. I SUGGESTED TO ADD A BLOOD SUGAR TRACKER YESTERDAY. TODAY I AM SUGGESTING A FEATURE TO HELP ACUTE DIABETICS. THE TRACKER SHOULD HAVE PRESET SAMPLE TIMES AT: (1) BEFORE 1st MEAL (2) AFTER 1st MEAL (3) MID MORNING (4) BEFORE NOON MEAL (5) AFTER NOON MEAL (6) MID AFTERNOON (7) BEFORE LAST MEAL (8) AFTER LAST MEAL (9) AT BEDTIME.
Avatar n tn You may also use blood sugar results to gauge the effects / benefits of exercise on your blood sugar levels.
Avatar n tn s a much less common phenomenon called Somogyi effect where a waking high blood sugar results from our blood sugar having plummeted overnight -- then the liver causes glucose to be released to counteract that low. Here is a good explanation offered by someone at UCSD: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/diabetes/faq/part2/section-13.html While I'm not a physician (no one here is), I've learned how to "test" what's going on.
Avatar m tn Check your glucose level in the middle of the night (around 3 AM). If your blood sugar is high, you are probably experiencing Dawn Phenomenon. One thing to try is not to snack 2-3 hours before bedtime. Carbs will raise glucose levels during the night.
