Avatar f tn That would be what would tell you how concerned you should be with your blood sugar number. What the doctor is watching whether you need some form of insulin to keep your sugar to a acceptable level.
Avatar f tn A little background... at age 2 BG of 350+ put us in hospital for weekend. One more reading of 200. No meds, it normalized. Now she is 8 and says she wakes up feeling sick and dizzy. FBG are elevated. A1C is elevated, but not in diabetic range. After posting before about my daughters odd readings I started monitoring her BG closely. I wanted to arm myself with a week's log before seeing her pediatrician next week in hopes of getting referral to pediatric endocrinologist.

1948564 tn?1324647050 My son is 13 and been diagnosed since he was 4. Every day, every hour is different for his blood sugar. I am a little disappointed your doctor has indicated everything should be regular by now. If only we could all live that dream. I would suggest using a log book, you can get one from your doc or free from some meter companies. Write down your blood sugar before your meals, carbs you ate, if that is how you give yourself insulin, and your dosage.
Avatar f tn You need to watch everything you take into your mouth! Write it down and keep a log of food intake, exercise and meter readings so that you can track what is going on with your body. Good luck.
Avatar m tn Keep daily checks of the readings, keep a log book.
246464 tn?1249452147 Also suggest you carry glucose tablets or hard candies [not sugar free] with you in case a crash occurs. Eat one to elevate your blood sugar rapidly. Dropping below 60 is dangerous, down to 34 is life threatening.
Avatar m tn Check if it can raise your blood sugar levels. Some high blood pressure medicine can raise the sugar levels. Know your body. It is the inly one you will have.
Avatar n tn I went in there and searched for blood sugar readings and it came up eventually. Sorry my link didnt work again. Can't figure that.
Avatar f tn Thank you for your quick response. Your answers have helped. My meter is calibrated to the test strips that I use - it came pre-calibrated when I got it from the pharmacy (either that or THEY calibrated it for me before I picked it up) and each time I insert a test strip, it shows the calibration number so I can verify that it is the same. You mentioned a test solution - I did not receive any test solution with my meter or strips. Is this something that I can/should purchase separately?
Avatar n tn s only necessary if I were on insulin. However, I will occasionally check my blood sugar -- maybe once or twice a month or if I'm not feeling well. I checked it on Sunday and found it was running somewhat high. Just for the heck of it, I checked it when I went to bed and it was 336 around 10 p.m. I happened to wake up at 3 a.m. to use the restroom and thought I would check it again since it was kind of high when I went to bed.
1680047 tn?1468911829 With all due respect, I believe your first post states higher than normal blood sugar readings. I have been a diabetic for 18 years and my doctor would not want to see values this high. 140-180 two hours after eating would be too high. Your stated values of fasting blood sugar readings are high, according to my doctor.
1080243 tn?1262975363 If oral medication can't control your husband's blood sugar, then he may need to be on insulin. It is very important to control blood sugar to prevent complications.
Avatar n tn My sister in law takes her blood sugar reading with a One Touch Ultra Smart tester. She gets a reading of 440. Sometimes the numbers are even higher. How can this be so high without major problems? My husband took his reading and got 86. She is a believer of herbals and supplements. Could one of these make a false reading? We have tried to get her to go to a Doctor, but she won't.
Avatar n tn Do you check your blood pressure and pulse on a regular basis? It might be a good idea to keep a log of these readings at other times and also when you notice the irregular heart rate. My daughter wore a Holter Monitor (24 hour) and her heart rate got up to 160 a few times. Her regular doctor wasn't concerned about it but since she was laying around the entire time I thought it was odd. After a lot of testing a Cardiologist diagnosed her with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Avatar n tn I just found out that I'm pregnant, and my blood sugar is literally all over the place. One hour it will be 140, and the next hour it will be 240. I have another week until my endocrinologist appointment, and I am VERY NERVOUS. PLEASE HELP!? What can I do to keep it down until my Dr appointments? I'm limiting my carbs, and excercising. What else can i do?
Avatar f tn My blood sugar is 78, feeling cold and jittery and wondering if that is too high of a number to be causing it. Since last Thursday I have been unable to eat much, and what I do eat has been immediately removed (diarrhea). I was diabetic in my last pregnancy and still needing to lose weight so I have been checking my sugars just to see if maybe that is why I feeling so low right now. Thanks for the help.
1469595 tn?1298671180 You will take regular blood sticks and they will be downloaded on their computer and after some experimentation the right combination of medications and diet will be worked out. They will tell you exactly when to take the blood sugar readings. Usually they will have a class (or two) and then periodic visits for consultion. On the way you will meet with a dietician. You will bring your meter and a food log when you meet with the R.N... It is almost impossible to do this by yourself.
577285 tn?1706032371 Blood Sugar Tracker for us diabetic's out there please. It would be an invaluable tool for us to track this VITAL READING. Not only could it be based on those little log books that we all gotta carry around getting all dog eared and full of blood stains as well as getting more expensive to buy , but we could easily make a copy and bring the professional looking and easy to read Chart / Tracker to our Doctors.
4730644 tn?1358469456 Does anyone know if the neuropathy pain will get worse during spikes in blood sugar readings then slightly improve when blood sugar is back in range? I am trying to figure out if that is causing my pain to worsen at times. I have taken my readings and I am thinking that may be the case but wondering if others can confirm it. Thanks.
