Avatar f tn I have mine blood sugar test in 2 days. I'm so nervous. Any suggestions ...
Avatar m tn Just wondering if blood sugar elevation gets higher than normal because of TXing. I am 150. Also have you guys heard the new SVR rating is now considered less than 43 instead of less than 10?
Avatar m tn In order to control your diabetes you need to know what your blood sugar is doing. So you need to buy a meter and test strips. there are cheaper brands. Then you test your fasting (ideally it is < 95), and you test 1 1/2 to 2 hrs after eating and ideally it is < 140, or even better < 120.
Avatar n tn Normally simple blood tests results like hemogram, total cell count, complete blood checkup, blood sugar, electrolytes etc are available the same day. Some times the tests are done and the report not uploaded on the computer due to technical delays. So if you do not get them by tomorrow, yes, definitely follow this up. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn If you had a fasting blood sugar of 116 that is high for a non-diabetic; if you had eaten within two hours before the test then 116 would not be cause for concern. Regardless, you should take the medications the doctor prescribed as indicated because you don't want your sugar level to creep higher. While you are doing that, though, you can absolutely exercise and change your diet and try to lose that weight.
Avatar f tn s another flipping test! I failed the first one hour blood sugar test and passed the first three hour blood sugar test. Today I've failed the second one hour blood sugar test and they are pressuring me to do the second three hour sugar test (which is horrible!!!) Seriously?! I've got 10 more weeks to go and it's so muggy here and I'm so nauseated again and they gotta make me sit in some crappy waiting room for three hours trying not to vomit up this sugar drink or crap my pants!
Avatar n tn Is there usually a difference in the test results from blood drawn from the arm and blood drawn from the finger tip? I heard that the fingertip blood can test higher than blood drawn from the arm and I wondered if that is usually the case.
Avatar f tn Earlier today i had to do the sugar test where you drink that nasty orange stuff, the first bottle i vomitted it up instantaneously. The second bottle i was able to keep down for a little over an hour, long enough for the blood test, but eventually threw it up on the ride home from the dr office. Later i was talking to a friend about it and she said when she did it she had to do it twice bc the first results were wonky. I hope my results are fine so i dont have to go through that again.
Avatar f tn I had blood drawn today for A1c, should get the results in a couple of days. I am wondering if these numbers are normal, or do I have a problem?
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 half year post liver transplant, my question now is about his bood sugar, we are trying to monitor it , we have the kit and test sugar before and after meal, but there was time that in just a minute sugar rises and and sometimes went very low. is this normal for or the kit have a problem?
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.
Avatar f tn The first glucose test should only be an hour. You get blood taken, drink the sugar drink, wait an hour then have more blood taken. If you fail that one, then you take the 3 hour glucose test. And my always told me I could eat beforehand, just nothing really sugary.
Avatar m tn my blood sugar the last 3 days have been in the 160 range. I am on 1000mg of metformin daily, watch my diet, and exercise up to 1hr to 1 1/2 hrs daily. My test usually run about 103-115. I have checked my blood for the last 3 days after exercise, and at least 3 hrs after eating, each time they are over 160. Nothing has changed in my daily routine. everything is done at certain times daily.Hope you can help.

Avatar n tn Why is it that my blood sugar is higher in the morning than it was prior to going to bed the night before? For example: At night it may read 115 (this is approx. 4 hours after dinner, and no snacking). THEN - first thing in the morning, before I've had anything to eat it reads 135. After having breakfast, right before lunch time it may be 85-90. Thanks for your feedback.
Avatar f tn So I have my sugar test in the morning. I'm so nervous! I really hope it's not as bad as the horror stories I've heard. How did ya'lls test go?
