blood sugar numbers high or low

Most people do not consider blood sugar to be low and in need of treatment unless it is under 70 or even under 60. However, if your blood sugar has been high for awhile than numbers that are not technically hypos can feel like they are. If you have diarrhea since last Thursday and not able to eat (regardless of your need to lose weight) you should check with your doctor as you can become dehydrated.

Has anyone dealt with low blood sugar during pregnancy? I took my 1 hr glucose test- I had black coffee prior to the drinking the glucose drink, then 1 hr of nothing and my blood draw. My level came back at 65. My midwiNenmade a passing comment about it bein low and watching for symptoms of lightheadedness but wasn't concerned. What were your numbers if you were deemed low blood sugar? Any other symptoms? Thanks!

My mom and both grandmothers have/had diabetes but they also were overweight, had big bellies and ate horribly, smoked and never exercised. I have low blood pressure sometimes too...never had high blood pressure. I would think diabetes would be highly unlikely.....???

all she told me was that my diet is my problem. first thing she does not know what diet i have. so they put me on a diet of all wheat or whole grains no white, lots of protein with every meal and to eat 6 times a day and eat fat. She said nothing with my high number. that's why i think my a1c was not so low as to high because i would get lows and high. I feel low all the time so i have to eat all day to keep them up. she said my number for high are not high and not to worry about them.

It really depends if u need insulin or pills, if you cant control your blood sugar then you take pills if your blood sugar is not high. But if normally your fasting numbers are high then thats why they put you on insulin. I have a coworker that went straight to insulin and shes a diabetic now but her numbers were crazy high like in the 500 when she did the glucose test. The doc just prob know that pills wont help you.

my blood sugar is high between 11 and 18.4, uk testing , it has been for two days , i dont know why , what can i do to lower it , and at what point should i go to the hospital.

I notice my blood sugar at night between 2-3 am are over 120 and my fasting blood sugar in the morning is over 100. When i get the fealing of low it is around 80 and it will keep dropping. the last time it went to 67 and i had to eat some thing i couldnt wait. i had a cup of oj and checked in 15 min and it went to 137. I have also notice that i spike about 1 hour after eating and come down around 2 hours after which is mostly in the 130. and i notice if i drink a can of pop.

My waking up/fasting numbers are between 140 and 155. I read that these numbers should be between 70 and 130.

Is 130 high for blood sugar?

Can someone tell me how high your blood sugar should get before you become alarmed or call the doctor? I have not been diagnosed but a few months and my doctor has not told me much of nothing. My sugar keeps going up and down, my doctor won't put me on medicine(the highest its been is 400+, the lowest 60) Thanks for your help!!!

(If not enough insulin to cover the carbs, numbers go up too high, if too much insulin, numbers go low). But if the person is still in their honeymoon phase then their own body still produces some insulin which further affects blood sugar. However there are other things that can affect blood sugar including illness, stress and even more subtle things for some such as temperature, hot showers, etc.

Fiber can help keep your blood sugar stable. It slows your digestion, which allows for a more steady release of carbs into your bloodstream. Here's some advice from MedHelp.org and the Sugar Sense app on this topic. http://www.medhelp.org/diabetes/articles/Natures-Blood-Sugar-Secret/1822 You can find this in the app by going to the Health Guide from the menu in the upper left corner of the home screen, and toggling to the Eat Right section, then scrolling down.

The first time I did my test, my glucose numbers after eating were around 122, but my insulin numbers where way too high. Showing I had insulin resistance. My body was producing too much insulin to keep blood sugar levels fine.

I am struggling to find the answer to why a type II diabetic can have the symptoms of weakness and maybe dizziness which would be associated normally with low blood sugar when their reading is above 10-11 mmol/L. If symptoms of weakness etc. are due to insufficient glucose entering the CNS why would even a diabetic have these symptoms when their level is above 10mmol/L - insulin is hardly needed for glucose to cross into the CNS. Help much appreciated.

I agree with troytroy that you need to meet with a doctor or diabetic educater to learn the basics of diabetes care. First of all being continually over 130 for fasting blood sugar is too high. Your wife needs to have her doctor evaluate her medication regimen and see if something needs to be changed. Also I'm guessing you don't know much about diet and exercise to help control Type II diabetes and this is very important to learn.

My blood sugar swings from low to high , its been as low as 52 in the morning to 210 2 hours after a meal any body got any advice , it can really make u feel strange .

No, unfortunately, they are elevated blood sugars.

All these things greatly influence blood sugar. If you have been unable to get your blood sugar stable at all, these are things you need to work on. I hope your husband gets better soon.

I know when my daughter is having emotional stress, or is ill her numbers get very low. We monitor her very closely and when they dont seem to respond to food and sugars, we give her gluclose tabs. Not sure if you have any of these laying around. Please be very careful until you see the Dr. tomorrow!
