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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I ended up in the hospital. what is my blood sugar and only 50. which was very low.
s endocronologist said that sometimes adrenaline can make your blood sugar rise. Maybe you could do some research on adrenaline and blood sugars rising. I had never heard of this before, but it makes sense. I am thinking that being a firefighter would take alot of adrenaline and would be stressful too. Stress makes my blood sugars rise very high too.
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.
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.
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.
The drink spikes your sugar very high. The first drink is like chugging two 12 ounce sodas back to back. The test is to see how effectively your body metabolizes sugar while pregnant, some women don't make enough insulin while pregnant. Its not really indicative that you will be diabetic outside of pregnancy. It usually goes away after birth.
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).
I ate pretty healthy but if I splurged on something high in sugar like cake or something, that would spike my blood sugar. If I went too long without eating and then ate, that would spike my blood sugar even if it was a good meal. And if I didn't up my calories enough and did too much activity that would drop my sugar. Either way I'd pass out. I also had a lot of nausea so I wasn't keeping everything down. It was hard to keep myself level.
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?
Cut down on the simple carbs (those which contain sugar and white flour), as those break down quickly and will spike your blood sugar. Concentrate on complex carbs (fiber), such as those found in vegetables and whole grains, as they take longer to break down and won't cause blood sugar spikes.
I agree that if you're overweight, you'll need to lose, but that can be very difficult, if not nearly impossible, so you have to be very diligent.
