Common Questions and Answers about Diabetic lunch

Mr Anjan,
your fasting sugar is moderately high which puts you in pre-diabetic or diabetic range. When you say post-lunch, how many hours had passed after lunch when the sugar was checked ? I ask because I would have expected that number to be as high or higher than the fasting number. However, if the post lunch test was done after many hours with perhaps you being moderately active, then that would explain the relatively low number.
You say you're sure your tests (plural) showed a diabetic profile, then you say my test (singular) showed that... And, then you say you're a lifelong hypoglycemic. Tell us what these test(s) are. The word "usually" indicates your home test results are not always in the normal range which makes you a diabetic.
Yes he is not diabetic. As a routine health checkup he given samples in lab and not performed any tests at home. I was curious if he is normal or diabetic.
Sometimes at work, I go out to lunch with some co-workers. Most of these times, I don't take my Novalog fast-acting insulin pen with me. However, I inject myself shortly after the meal, when I get back to the office. The max. amount of time I inject AFTER a meal is about 30 minutes. Is this a bad idea or should I assume that it's better to be late than never? I'm a 26 year old Type-1 diabetic by the way.
I have a diabetic question. My daughter was diagnosed a week ago and we are having trouble staying on the right time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We were actually late for both breakfast and lunch; but she didn't eat dinner at all!!! She slept right through and she was so tired that she wouldn't wake up. No worries her sugar is staying stable for now.
Today about 20 minutes after my lunch I started sweating, feeling weak, heart racing, etc. I checked my blood sugar and it was 71 after eating a chicken salad, salad. I checked it before eating and it was 77 so why would it go down after eating a salad and a few wheat crackers? 71 is normal but again I felt horrible, weak, shaky, anxiety, etc. Could this be something other than Hypoglycemia? Before I had lunch I ran 2.5 miles on the treatmill and felt fine so this is beginning to puzzle me.
My father has been taking oral anti-diabetic drugs since almost 10years now ( Gliclazide 80mg & metformin hydrochloride hydrochloride 500mg now. 1/2tds, before every meal). His blood sugar has been around 155mg/dl. his lipid profile was done and it was found tht S.cholestrol is 144mg/dl, S.Tri is 60mg/dl, HDL is 53 and LDL is 79. S. creatinine is 1.16mg/dl. and urine report showed albumin present(++++). he is 58 years of age.
If you are newly diagnosed diabetic or pre diabetic, please talk with your doctor or better yet a diabetic educator to figure what combination of things will work for you. Get a test meter and test your blood sugar to see how different foods affect you. Go to other websites where there are people who have been successfully managing diabetes for man years and listen to what works for them, recognizing that we are all different.
Probably not, most people start with there feet having problems. Diabetic problems start at the furthest extremity's feet then legs then hands. you could also have a pinched nerve in your elbow or neck.

Before then I would skid meals ( breakfast and or lunch) and eat like a horse at dinner. I would not really pay attention to what or how much of anything I ate, whatever looked good or sounded good I ate including
All sweets. I would think that poor eating habits did it for me. I am 5'8 and 158 lbs and pretty fit for 58 years old.
My hospital set me up with a diabetic education class, and it helped tons.
I am a Type 1 diabetic patient and had this condition for the past 7 years. I have just switched from Mixtard/Actrapid to Lantus/Actrapid 3 days ago due to very poor blood sugar control at night and in the morning. The current dosage of Lantus is 15 units in the morning with additional 15 units of Actrapic before evety meal i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner.
i used wrist pressure bands that i got at the pharmacy. they are used for car sickness.
also, its best if you eat small meals, or at least have something to eat every two hours. like have four crackers with cheese, or a fruit after lunch. like, don't eat all your lunch, save some for 'second lunch' i ate like a diabetic and it helped me.
but the post lunch levels always within the normal range of viz 140.The random levels always varies from 125 to 150. Kindly advise me whether i am diabetic and do i have to take medicine for diabetes?
