Avatar f tn I have an avacado, a Healthy Choice fudgesicle and some peanuts. Took my blood sugar this morning and it 141 fasting! Usually about 115 otherwise. Do you think I overate? My blood sugar was at 105 at 2:00 PM before eating.
Avatar m tn ve recently been diagnosed with type II diabetes and still adjusting my medication and when I had a sugar crash yesterday at lunch I over did my sugar in take and had a sugar spike. It exhausted me, gave me first sweats then chills, nausea all afternoon. I've tried all night eating small portions and hope this morning I would feel better. But now that I'm up I'm still shaking and my blood sugar is 135. How long will I get like this and should I go back to my old dosage.
Avatar n tn My sister uses raw honey, but that too will spike your blood glucose levels. I'd try to find a coffee that you enjoy without having to add sugar if you can't get around the aftertaste of Stevia.
1058898 tn?1275675151 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.
Avatar f tn Anything with carbs is going to spike your blood sugar. If your trying to stabilize blood sugar, I would recommend eating lots of protein and vegetables. As for carbs, choose the healthy carbs or brown rice and more slow digesting carbs. That way your blood sugar won't rise as high or fast. I'm type 1 diabetic and pregnant, so u have been testing blood sugar like crazy for a good amount of my life.
1689038 tn?1354739164 I'm confused (some would ask "what else is new?"....... LOL)....... How long ago did you have these tests? When you had the first test, you weighed 240 lbs and the test came back at 127? When you had the next test, you weighed 215 lbs? You didn't get results of that test? I'm not sure why you think you had a "sugar spike"....... 127 on a non fasting blood glucose does not mean you are diabetic. Do you keep track of your fasting blood sugars?
Avatar n tn I had mentioned to a friend with a diabetic son that after I exercise(run) in the morning my blood sugar will sometimes shoot up 100-150 points and this is after a reading of 120-150 prior to running on my treadmill. I then have readings that are 200-250 and I get very frustrated! I am a type I diabetic for 26 years. I thought this was strange seeing that I had not eaten anything to make my blood sugar climb so high.
Avatar f tn I had this very early in my pregnancy and had to change what and how I eat. Certain foods can cause your blood sugar to spike up and then drop very quickly. I can't eat cake or even toast in the morning cause it will do it to me. Try staying away from sugary and breads early in morning or just one peice of wheat toast instead of two peices and eating more often. Have you had your sugar test yet?
Avatar f tn I've been monitoring my blood sugar in the last couple of months because of increasing Hba1c levels, though my highest overnight fasting level was 89. Thought I was doing pretty well -- my highest 1 hour post prandial reading had been 140 -- until this afternoon. One hour after eating a tray of takeout sushi from the grocery store I got a reading of 236, immediately followed by a reading of 244 (to make sure it wasn't a machine error).
Avatar f tn GI = Glycemic Index. A low GI diet is one in which the things you eat will not spike blood sugar levels, but will work to help stabilize them. For instance, eating a piece of candy will spike your blood sugar rather quickly, whereas eating a carrot will not, because of the lower sugar/carb content. Regular pasta will spike your blood sugar more quickly than whole gain pasta because it takes longer to digest the whole grain, so it doesn't go straight to the blood.
Avatar n tn Stress can make your blood sugar rise. Have you noticed your blood sugars rise when you do one type of exercise as opposed to another? I'm just curious if you've seen any patterns.
Avatar n tn I have since learned that cortisol controls your blood sugar levels. when I originally went on hydrocortisone, my fasting blood sugar jumped up to 113--which is too high, but it eventually has evened out to be normal over time--plus, the A1c test, that tests your average blood sugar levels over a 3 month period, was normal. When my blood sugar would drop, I would get extremely hungry and would want to just keep eating until the feeling went away.

Avatar f tn I have had T1D for 9 months now. The last week or so my blood sugar had been between 240-340 mg/dl and I can't get it to come down. What should I do?
Avatar n tn Hi abeybaby! We are volunteers with life experience in dealing with type 1 diabetes, not medical professionals, so any information you receive here should be verified with your healthcare team. The dawn phenomenon refers to an unexplained, elevated bg reading, first thing in the morning that is commonly attributed to stress hormones. I do not have any knowledge of this occuring in type 2 diabetics. With type 1 diabetes, stress can play a major role in elevated bg's.
Avatar m tn Hmmm I've never heard of Cheerios spiking blood sugar; good thing I quite eating it a while back, huh?... LOL Have you considered that it might be the blueberries? They have a lot of sugar in them and even though it's "natural", it can spike blood sugar levels. I'm impressed with your 26 lb weight loss... If I could lose 26 lbs, I'd be about where I want/need to be. Have you thought (or talked to your doctor) about daily or weekly blood testing with a home meter?
9842459 tn?1411688168 Okay so the week before last I went to my doctor and she checked my blood sugar thing and was happy about my sugars. Well I told her my sugar did spike up to 150 something but explained that I went walking and it went down to like 90. She saw it on the tester thing so she knew I wasn't lying. Well tonight it went up to 136. It was raining and I couldn't go walking. So I'm wondering what is considered uncontrolled GD?
Avatar f tn Your husband is fine and quite normal. After eating blood glucose [sugar] plateaus in the bloodstream at 2-3 hours. At 1 hour the body hasn't been given ample time to dispose of the excess glucose. The 2 hour level of 101 mg/dl says he's normal. His mom was incorrect to test at 1 hour.
Avatar f tn You only need to cut back on simple carbs, such as sugar, and processed foods made from white flour, rice, etc.. Simple carbs are the ones that spike your blood sugar, resulting in a corresponding insulin spike. Insulin is known as the fat storage hormone and whatever of those simple carbs that isn't used for energy right away is shuttled, by insulin, into fat cells.
1661682 tn?1313135396 I felt the same way when I did mine. Its make your blood sugar spike then crash.
Avatar n tn To add to Super_sally888, eating foods that contain white sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup or refined carbohydrates can cause your sugar levels to spike and then suddenly drop as if you have hypoglycemia. This sudden drop in blood sugar levels is due to your pancreas releasing too much insulin to counteract the sudden high blood sugar levels that occurred from eating the aforementioned food types.
Avatar f tn Hi. Regarding your high fasting blood sugar. Your first reading in the morning is considered fasting. Mine was always high. Had a dietitian tell me to try eating a few slices of ham or turkey before bed. That did the trick for me. According to her, if you don't have adequate protien in your system while you sleep, your body will break down muscle to access protein, but in doing so, that also releases stored glucose, causing your blood sugar to be high upon waking.
Avatar f tn But will keel your blood sugar lever maintained without um .. Causing the insulin spike, because if you eat starvhy food and refined sugars ( white bread white flour and sugar) this will cause blood sugar rise, which means hello insulin spike which means ..
7543158 tn?1391978069 Eating even just a handful of almonds now (my go to snack when my sugar gets low) will spike my sugar to almost 200 and I work all day to get it back down to an acceptable level. When it finally goes down it ends up crashing into the 40s and 50s, sometimes causing me to pass out as it's so sudden when it does. I've never had this problem before and it's freaking me out a little bit because I have no one to help me while my husband is at work.
Avatar f tn I do not eat any sugar or foods containing sugar. I eat a lot of veg and salad. Bran flakes for breakfast. It has improved my blood sugar levels. But not enough as i need it to. What helps you?
