1173196 tn?1292916490 I had an episode like yours around 20wks and a blood test revealed my iron levels were really low compared to the begining of the pregnancy. It didn't come back up to normal levels even with just one 324mg pill per day, and I am on 2 per day now on top of my regular pre natals. All those dizzy spells I had went away after started taking iron pills. May be talk to your doctor about it.
Avatar f tn I have to take a 3 hour blood sugar test I'm nervous and scared :/ for whoever done it before how was it ?
Avatar f tn I have mine blood sugar test in 2 days. I'm so nervous. Any suggestions ...
Avatar f tn At 72, I've never had any doctor address anything regarding an elevated blood sugar level from bloodwork done every 6 months! Had bloodwork done 2 weeks ago, my blood sugar level is 133...how do I deal with this? What has caused this? Doctor is concerned, not frantic about this today, but I am alarmed.
Avatar n tn In general, if your blood sugar level is below 100 mg / dL after fasting for at least 8 to 10 hours, then your blood sugar is normal. Blood sugar levels are usually lowest before each meal.
Avatar m tn HI 48 year old male, 5 feet 8 inches. 164 lbs. Recently had blood test , Blood sugar came back 128m/dl. Doctor has not recommended any medicines . He suggested to exercise and control the diet. Day before the test had a pasta lunch with cola and small pasta fried fish dinner with 2 drinks(alcoholic). dinner complete at 9.00pm. Also had a antidepressant for sleep. Went the next morning for test around 8.am. Is it possible for my test to be wrong given the previous days gluttony.
Avatar f tn Usually, fasting begins at midnight for a test the next day. Your sugar by the standards of your lab states it was high on your first test. The repeat is normal. I am not sure if that was a fluke. I'd probably get it checked in another 6 months to see where you are at.

Avatar f tn i am not diabetic but for some reason, for the.oast couple weeks i have been monitoring my blood sugar and its all over the place. the highest ive noticed was 281 after a big dinner and 2 minutes later it drops down to 113. any other ones are like, 232, 158 but i dont feel anything weird in my body at all. but my blood sugar when i woke up yesterday morning was 97 that was before breakfast. pls if u know anything about this, give an advice on wut to do.
Avatar f tn Oh... They draw your blood, then draw your blood again in an hour then again in another hour if you're doing the two hour. If it's a three hour test then one mere draw after another hour. You get your blood drawn, then sit and wait... No drinking anything but water, no chewing gum, no eating a mint and my fave they remind you of is no smoking haha duh I'm pregnant I'm not gonna smoke! Then you're done.
1058898 tn?1275675151 I have not been told if i have diabetes but my Dr. 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.
8653699 tn?1409720132 I have my sugar test coming up in a week or so, what all do they do at that appointment? Is my baby daddy needed for this one?
5770739 tn?1382315166 s youngest child just turned 1 and she said they do the sugar test through a finger prick..I was just wondering if any of you have had the test done already and if they actually drew blood from your arm or did a finger prick????
Avatar f tn It may help. But you might have a mild case of gestational diabetes. I failed my first one too didn't take the three hour test because the 1 hr was too much sugar for me and I got extremely sick. So they are treating me as if I have GD. The duet us hard at first but you get use to it fast. I regret not eating healthier earlier on in my pregnancy, but that doesn't mean it would have changed anything. My body just isn't producing enough insulin.
Avatar f tn But then you have to sit around for an hour then they draw your blood and your done. I threw it all up after they drew my blood luckily, or else i would have had to take the test again.
Avatar n tn Is 130 high for blood sugar?
Avatar f tn Just relax lol all I can offer. Docs told me to eat before but everyone I know ate before the test failed the first 1hr test and had to take the 3hr test. I didn't eat, because moms recommended and sure enough I passed, but if its too late for that then just relax. Everything will be fine. And the drink, at least mines, wasn't bad. It tasted like a hi-c orange drink.
Avatar f tn im getting my sugar test done now and i got fruit punch.
Avatar f tn I started out nursing...the baby began spitting up/vomitting...lost weight..positive for occult blood...tried nutramigen...still occult blood. Saw peds GI..."allergy"...put on elecare...continued vomitting, crying all the time. upper GI series: severe reflux on elecare, prevacid, rice cereal in bottles...finally negative for occult blood. vomitting, lost 5 ounces, crying all the time help? what else could it be? should I go back to nursing?
Avatar f tn My sugar test came back and unfortunately my levels were elevated so now I have to go in the morning for the 3 hour sugar test. Has anyone had to do the 3 hour one?? Is it the same thing besides the wait time?
233552 tn?1228319699 I went to the doc today and he gave me my results....my blood sugar is 217. I knew that this would happen again but I wanted it to wait another month or two. My doc is going to put me on a diet after this weekend. I told him that you can't put a pregnant woman on a diet and he laughed right along with me. Then he said oh yes I can. Silly doctors. Baby's heartbeat still in the 160's and get U/S next month to find out what I'm having and I can't wait.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hi, Today a student from nursing school told me that she had made a mistake on me about 40 days ago. At that time, she was offering a blood test and I tested my blood sugar. Now she suddenly notice that she forgot to change the blood taking needle at that time, i.e., she used the same needle that was used to take the previous man's blood sample on my finger. It means that I may get some disease transferred from the previous person. The needle is a small and solid one.
