Glucose levels vary

Common Questions and Answers about Glucose levels vary

glucose

Avatar n tn between 70-126 is the number range that many doctors use. But this is for fasting glucose levels only. After meals, it is normal for glucose levels to rise above this, and the numbers quoted as 'normal' vary, depending on which doctor you talk to. I have read that a number of about 140-150 is considered healthy for after-meal sugar levels.
Avatar n tn If you searched the Internet on glucose test levels, you will find they vary in some degree to what is considered normal. Most say 120 mg/dl is the high water mark. At 120 you be considered pre-diabetic. Above 120, as in your 127, diabetic. As an example, MedHelp says : "Levels up to 100 mg/dL are considered normal. Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes.
Avatar f tn Are testing your glucose with a home meter? What are your glucose levels preprandial [b4 breakfast] and postprandial [2-3 hrs after a meal]? If your levels remain elevated above normal do not stop the Metformin. If you have normal fasting levels [preprandial] and normal postprandial levels notify your doctor of your intentions to stop Metformin 72 hrs prior to the test. Do NOT stop unless your doctor authorizes you to do so.
Avatar f tn ) RGT [Random Glucose Test] - Tested at any given time. Levels that vary widely indicate a problem. This is the most time consuming since you have to twiddle your thumbs in-between tests. Normally doctors prefer the first two. 4.) An A1c [HbA1c, HgbA1c] test. The gold standard. " i have to have all the symptoms or just a few?" None at all. Diabetes testing should be part of your annual health exam.
452066 tn?1400626877 First of all, I am not a diabetic, but would like to learn more about it and blood sugar levels due to a severe arrhythmia problem I have(also have an implanted defibrillator) and I am tired of talking til I am blue in the face to doctors and I feel there may be a link to either my glucose levels or hormones. I have been seen by 2 endocrinologists and both said I am fine...BUT they have told me that my insulin production is very high but they won't do anything about it.
Avatar f tn In a person without diabetes, the glucose levels in the blood rise following drinking the glucose drink, but then then fall quickly back to normal (because insulin is produced in response to the glucose, and the insulin has a normal effect of lowing blood glucose.
Avatar f tn I had another onr done in mid march and the glucose level was elevated over normal and the rest of the numbers were elevated and barely in normal range. Is it normal for levels to vary that much in three months ?
Avatar f tn Yes, as I understand it, glycated hemoglobin is the attachment of glucose to hemoglobin, a globular protein molecule. It is a measure of blood sugar levels over about three months time and is elevated when blood sugar has been elevated. I'm looking for information on what levels of blood sugar typically result in glycation. I have not seen my blood sugar go over 127, and I'm wondering what level I should be keeping it under in order to lower my Hgba1c.
Avatar n tn You may want to use the home glucometer when you feel the symptoms to see if you are hypoglycemic at that time. Your glucose levels should vary fairly much throughout the day, so different numbers are nothing to worry about, but are normal as long as they don't vary hugely from the "normal" range I mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph.
Avatar m tn Taking into account that for a week now, the patient has been taking Eltroxin Levothyroxine Sodium 25 microgram a day and has a Fasting Blood Glucose level of 139 mg/dl and Glucose after 2 hours of 188 mg/dl. Please help. Thank you a million.
Avatar n tn Your doctor can see from the blood test results when you return whether the diet change has brought your overall glucose levels down within normal ranges. I hope so, for then all you would need to do is to continue the new lower-carb diet and exercise in order to maintain your health. If you ARE put on medications of any sort, he will probably start having you test more often at home to make sure the dosage is correct.
Avatar f tn Lower than normal blood glucose could trigger increased levels of glucose as well. If the levels tend to vary widely, this would require close monitoring and slight re-alteration in the lifestyle and insulin. It is also advised to avoid insulin overdose that would trigger the stress hormones, paradoxically raising the glucose levels.
Avatar f tn If the test, which screens for gestational diabetes, reveals elevated levels of blood glucose (sugar), a glucose tolerance test is then given to confirm the gestational diabetes diagnosis
Avatar n tn An even better test is a glucose tolerance test, which will show what your glucose levels do after you consume large amounts of carbohydrate. We wish you the best. Good luck to you.
Avatar m tn I agree I noticed that in the morning and after exercise glucose levels were elevated, but from what you are saying, you have this well in hand, I would just keep doing what you are doing, I could never get my levels as good as yours.
Avatar f tn i am a 22 yr old female i weigh 122 lbs and am 5 ft 1". i took a insulin & glucose exam before and after eating. the glucose before eating is 87 and after eating is 91. the insulin before eating is 9.1uU/ml and after eating is 113.2uU/ml.my LDL is 103.32 and my HDL is 43.0 and triglicerides is 99.9. should i be concerned?? am i at risk of getting diabetes?? is the insulin level after eating normal??
Avatar n tn Just one more comment to add to what has already been written. Most endocrinologists will put a diabetic patient who uses insulin on a sliding scale of insulin, depending on what the blood glucose is when you test before a meal. The ideal is of course for glucose levels to be in the "normal" before meal range of between something like 70-126 (different doctors use slightly different numbers, but this is pretty typical).
Avatar n tn I am a long-time type 1 diabetic (36 years on insulin) without complications. I don't think that it makes any difference whether your child eats regular meals or variable meals with snacks as long as you know how to count the carbohydrates and adjust insulin accordingly.
Avatar m tn - Diabetes, although blood glucose tests are needed to diagnose diabetes. Small increases in urine glucose levels after a large meal are not always a cause for concern. - A rare condition in which glucose is released from the kidneys into the urine, even when blood glucose levels are normal (renal glycosuria) - Pregnancy -- up to half of women will have glucose in their urine at some point during pregnancy. Glucose in the urine may mean that a woman has gestational diabetes.
Avatar n tn They starting gettin more sever ( extream dry moth, mental foginess, shaking, vomiting) so I went to the Dr. They tested my fasting glucose levels in the office (finger *****) and it was 227. I was immedicately sent to a lab for blood work. My gloucose level came back at 80. That was w/in half an hour. A week later I returned to the Dr. office they said I was "normal". I insisted on another test. They did another in office test (fasting again) and I came back at 180.
1276121 tn?1420860600 HCG levels can vary from woman to woman and pg to pg. Typically when a dr is taking them, they are comparing if the double aprx every 48 hrs as an indication of a healthy pg. One number in itself won't tell you a great deal.
Avatar n tn Hello, what was your hba1c level? According to some experts, truly normal Hba1c level is about 4.3 - 4.6 which gives an average blood sugar of about 75 - 85, and not higher than 5.0 (average blood sugar about 100). However, the labs will typically say that normal results are up to 5.7 (average blood sugar about 125). Blood sugars vary from fasting levels thought to post eating.
Avatar f tn Have high levels of blood and protein in urine. Glucose levels and blood pressure are fine. I'm about 41 female About a 10 days ago I was surprised when I went to the restroom and noticed I had red bloody urine. At that time I had no pain only the urge to go to the restroom more so but no other symptoms.
Avatar n tn I find that now I have warning symptoms again of both high and low glucose levels if they vary at all from the norm. If this could help me recover symptoms, it can help anybody.
