Avatar n tn my blood sugar is 245 b4 bed how do I lower it quickly to a range that is comfortable?
Avatar n tn Cholesterol numbers by themselves don't mean anything. The type of cholesterol is more important, though there's no consensus as to how much of a role cholesterol plays in most types of heart disease. Some people have congenitally high cholesterol. For others, it's their diet and lifestyle, including how much they exercise. The worst part is triglycerides, the next worst is LDL, but HDL is actually beneficial cholesterol.
Avatar m tn How much cinnamin is 40 + grams? Too much can cause a drop in blood sugar, low blood pressure, thin blood and even liver and organ damage. If you take aspirin or any kind of blood thinners the effects will be even more severe. If cinnamon is lowering your blood sugar this would explain your symptoms such as hunger, fatigue and low blood pressure. Its a good idea for you to stop taking cinnamon completely and see if you feel better.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn If you are looking for some ways to lower your numbers, my advice would be to avoid the carbs as those can raise your numbers and work on getting 20 minutes exercise. Staying hydrated with water can help a lot too.
Avatar m tn i would recommend you to test your blood sugar whenever feeling those symptoms, (the blood sugar is most likely to be lower than 4mmol/L) and have 15 grams of simples sugar (1 tablespoon of honey; 3/4 cup of juice/regular pop; 3 packets of sugar; 6 lifesavers) to bring your blood sugar up as fast as it can.
Avatar m tn I commend you for exercising as exercise is very important with helping to lower blood sugar and hypertension levels. But, do you break sweat 10 minutes into your workout? If not pick up the pace. And, eat before working out not after. Working out on an empty stomach makes you crave food after.
10374491 tn?1441916101 What you do not want is your sugars going up so high quickly and then plummeting down again quickly. Uncontrolled high sugar levels will lead to complications, like never damage, loss of eyesight, amputations. Make an appointment to see your doctor ask for a HbA1C blood test to find out your average blood sugars. This gives the average of glucose in the blood over a period of 9-12 weeks. Ask your doctor to refer you to a dietician who specialises in diabetes.
Avatar n tn t stuff your furnace full of carbs all at once and expect it to hold you, plus your blood sugar will zoom higher when you download alot of carbs all at once. Plan ahead for snacks. Excellent midmorning and midafternoon snack is a sharp cheddar cheese stick and a handful of pecans. Net carbs for snacks should be 15 total. I need pleasure from food so don't obsess too far-diet salad dressing is awful IMO-and so I still use my beloved Kraft Thousand Island-2 tablespoons is only 4 net carbs!
1773108 tn?1314158067 Good Morning, I have a question about high blood sugar levels that don't seem to stabilize. My boyfriend has been struggling for years with high blood sugar. He told me this morning that his level was at 480+!!!! He says he doesn't feel any different whether it's high or low. The lowest it's been (to my knowledge) is still in the high range of 200+.
Avatar n tn Eat a small snack before your exercise (again mostly protein / healthy fat) as the food should also help trigger your body to bring the blood sugar down.
Avatar n tn 5, I ate a chicken leg, I am feeling shaky, blood pressure increased, and sugar went down to 9. Due to lack of food, sugar was going up, liver was dumping, chicken leg helped to stop dumping. As soon as sugar will be stabilized, blood pressure will be stabilized. My problem was due to skipping meal, I must have to eat every three hours, atleast a little . But sugar is increasing for that too. I need more insulin, Levemir.
Avatar f tn salad, grilled fajita chicken, small amounts of cheese and sour cream, 3 oz guacamole, 2 chicken flautas. Took my blood sugar and it was 67. What does this mean?
Avatar n tn "I tested my blood sugar this morning and it was 105." Was this fasting, nothing to eat or drinking of colored liquids for 8-10 hours? Makes a huge difference. Random/anytime testing is useless as it only provides a false/positive.
Avatar n tn My now 6-year-old son has been having episodes upon waking in the morning, which were happening about twice a year, but have increased in frequency to once every one to two months. He is lethargic, extremely weak (explained by him as having no power), and is very pale. Every time this happens, he will not wake on his own. Nearly every time, something sugary with recover him quickly, although sometimes he will vomit before we can even make it to the kitchen.
Avatar n tn The second path is around the types of carbs you take while exercising. Glucose tablets are an excellent way to raise blood sugar quickly, because they are made of the most basic form of glucose, and it gets absorbed very quickly. But I know many people that do not like them. I met a marathon runner who works for Animas who was diagnosed when he was a kid. During marathons, he uses packets of honey (like what you'd get at a restaurant).
362249 tn?1441315018 Sugar is a simple carb that goes almost straight to the blood and if not used quickly enough will turn to fat; therefore, if you have something that has, say, 26 grams total carbs, with 25 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fiber, it would be best to pass that up - none of us (whether diabetic or not) needs that much sugar. Other simple carbs are turned to sugar fairly quickly also - that includes white bread, chips, pastries made with white flour, white rice, etc.
Avatar m tn I habe no medicine to lower sugar at night. When I went to bed sugar was 8.4. To day morning sugar was 9.4, pressure high. Start shaking, sugar went to 11.5, took 12 units of humalog, sugar went high upto 14.5 and started dropping. Humalog if taken higher doses it reduces sugar quickly, but I fear it may induce bouncing. I am worried about two things, high pressure after waking up. I do not know if pressure is high within sleep.
Avatar m tn My heart rate slows by 10-20 bpm. Does this happen to any one with low blood sugar? Pulse 40-50 bpm Pressure is stable at 120/70 Adult male 5'9" 140 lbs.
