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.
1058898 tn?1275675151 told me to watch my blood sugar because im having symptoms of hypo. 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.
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.
4250330 tn?1388621179 What Can I Eat For Low Blood Sugar I Feel Really Shaky And My Hearts Beating Fast And Everything This Happened Last Time I Thought My Blood Sugar Was Low.. Im 31 Weeks and 6 Days pregnant..
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 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.
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.
Avatar n tn Its not just sugar you body converts ALL carbohydrates to Blood Sugar (BG) you body does not care if it is whole wheat or white bread it converts the carbs to sugar.
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 f tn For added sweetness, you can use Stevia, which is also natural, but adds no calories and does not spike blood sugar levels... Try adding a variety of beans and other high protein foods to your meals, as protein, along with fiber helps keep you feeling fuller longer. Vitamin D deficiency can cause many hypo-like symptoms. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause horrible fatigue/tiredness, plus other symptoms. Iron is necessary for the proper conversion of Free T4 to the active Free T3.
Avatar n tn lately my blood sugar levels have been dropping low then spiking after i eat, which is making me vomit, is this hypoglycemia, or something different?
Avatar m tn I have a cousin whose blood sugar levels often rise over 300s. This has been over a couple of years now. I am really concerned about him but unfortunately he doesn't seem to really care about himself and believes that the oral medications he's taking is enough. He shows no symptoms of diabetes at all. My questions are: 1. How come very high glucose levels cause no symptoms at all? (no frequent urination, thirst, blurred vision, etc) 2.
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 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.
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 I had to change the way I ate to keep my blood sugar more even.. avoid foods that spike your blood sugar such as grains and sugars.. A piece of whole wheat bread will raise your blood sugar more than eating a chocolate bar...I changed to a paleo way of eating and it has done a world of good for me. More energy, perfect blood sugar, blood pressure and lost weight..
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 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 n tn gimel has given you excellent thyroid information. I'd just like to add that insulin is often called "the fat storage hormone". Insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) means that your body is still making insulin, but not using it correctly. Each time you eat something that spikes your blood glucose, your insulin levels also spike in an attempt to reduce the glucose level.
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?
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'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 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?
1523917 tn?1302215871 I never needed medication. Stay away from sugar...this can make your blood sugar spike then crash. Proteins will bring your blood sugar up and keep it more stable. I would keep peanut butter and crackers with me, peanuts, sweet and salty bars, granola etc. My father is diabetic and I was told that there may be a connection or that my hypoglycemia may turn inton diabetes later on in life.
Avatar m tn 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.
245504 tn?1224099316 I previously posted a question because I was worried that my blood sugar 1 hour after a McDonald's was 144. Well today my fasting blood glucose level was 78. So was that spike because of the McDonald's? IF I was diabetic wouldn't my fasting level be high too? Thanks so much.
