does levothyroxine raise blood sugar

Fiber can help keep your blood sugar stable. It slows your digestion, which allows for a more steady release of carbs into your bloodstream. Here's some advice from MedHelp.org and the Sugar Sense app on this topic. http://www.medhelp.org/diabetes/articles/Natures-Blood-Sugar-Secret/1822 You can find this in the app by going to the Health Guide from the menu in the upper left corner of the home screen, and toggling to the Eat Right section, then scrolling down.

How has your blood sugar been since your last post? I hope you have been able to it is down even further.

Unfortunately its not fat that raises BG but carbohydrates that raise BG (blood sugar). All carbs raise BG, reduce carbs have lower BG.

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.

Prednisone does tend to raise your blood sugar and you should do what you can to keep it down as much as possible. You did not mention if you are on insulin or pills or just diet control. Considering you are only taking prednisone for a very short time, you shouldn't have too much to worry about. If your blood sugar is at that level for a longer period of time that may bring about some damage. Exercise more, if possible, definitely drink lots more water and really watch your diet.

For me, two usually does the truck. People that use food to raise blood sugar often tend to overtreat and then they are chasing highs after the lows which is not good. If there are no glucose tabs available a glass of orange juice is one of the quickest.

Per my response, sertaline can increase blood sugar levels; high blood sugar levels lead to diabetes.

I have mine blood sugar test in 2 days. I'm so nervous. Any suggestions ...

Sugar alcohol does not raise my BG . However every sugar fee cadny Ive seen still has carbohydrates, and they most certainly raise my BG.

Check if it can raise your blood sugar levels. Some high blood pressure medicine can raise the sugar levels. Know your body. It is the inly one you will have.

My Father 77 yo and already have diabetic since 25 years ago but now he get low blood sugar (50 - 70) after he take oral medicine for deabetic. He get receipt from cardiologist monthly because he have chf also. What i/he have to do?

I have been monitoring my blood sugar after eating. The other day I felt like having spaghetti. I made some sauce with organic beef and had wheat spaghetti noodles. More than 2 hours after my meal of spaghetti my blood glucose was still at 147. I love spaghetti, but can now see that I need to keep limiting how often I have it :(. I usually have it once a month.

I have 2 questions, If I take Metformin with evening meal and thyroid in am is there still a chance for interaction? Is there a good diet that works for people who have somewhat high blood sugar level but not at extremes that will help me lose weight. Sorry for the book, but am really concerned as I am a single mom with a 15 yr old still to raise and I must be able to keep working to support both of us.

Hi Everyone, I've had hypothyroidism for about 4 years now. Last summer I lost my health insurance, and was off of my levothyroxine until January. I felt awful after a while- gained over 10 pounds, exhausted, forgetful- you all know the deal, I'm sure. When I got my bloodwork for my thyroid done, my levels came back at 44. Doc says normal is between 1 and 3, so that's about as bad as it can get and that my throid is producing very little on it's own.

I would doubt there's anything in a cough drop to raise blood pressure. Sugar might cause elevated blood sugar over a period of years of abuse, but certainly not just a few days, and many other risk factors would have to be there as well. Some cough drops don't contain sugar at all, including most of the ones you can get in a good health food store.

For diabetics, their body does not respond to the elevated blood glucose adequately. They need to control their blood sugar with changes to diet and exercise and often medication. Do you take any medications for your blood glucose? If you do not understand what changes you need to make, you should speak to your doctor about what is recommended for you specifically. Your doctor may have a sample diet menu or be able to recommend a nutritionist to help you understand the proper diet.

I have been drinking Diet Coke since I was diagnosed with Type I several years ago and it has not appeared to raise my blood sugar, but it is now the only explanation I can find. I am going to try to stop drinking it to see what happens in the meantime, but this will be extremely hard since I usually drink about 16 ounces a day. I just would like to know if Diet Coke (or any other diet soda) has raised anyone else's blood sugar levels.

I can expect now based on your response that I should expect them to raise amount of levothyroxine, and to retest me and go from there. I'll insist on those 3 tests from now on. Maybe tease my pcp that he's outta touch, lol. It's just time consuming and the surgery only really helps people lose for 18 months. I shoulda known better, I knew I was only eating 800-1000 calories before surgery and not losing weight.

All these things greatly influence blood sugar. If you have been unable to get your blood sugar stable at all, these are things you need to work on. I hope your husband gets better soon.

1. can HIV affect the blood sugar and raise it (if its there)? 2. can the high blood sugar rate affect the accuracy of the test I did? 3. what is my risk factor? 4. do you recommend another test?
