glucose numbers chart

Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks for the question. All concerns such as this are best to discuss with your physician for clarification. If you don't go to a GP, maybe it is time to start as that can be really beneficial to track your health. Did you get the blood draw after fasting? That would make a difference. https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/guide/normal-blood-sugar-levels-chart-adults This article has information related to charting of glucose numbers.

I do not test my own blood but am sent to the hospital for fairly regular tests but notice that when people post with their blood glucose levels they are in the 100s. I am from the UK and wonder if there is a conversion chart because I think it would be more beneficial if I could compare with others on the forum to get a sense of how im doing for comparison, Any advise would be greatly appreciated .

m trying to get my numbers down from *Glucose,serum=130, C-Reactive Protein, High Sens=5.0 and Hemoglobin A1C=7.0 through diet and excersise.

I have been feeling ill for a few months now.I started keepig track of my glucose numbers my higest has been 103. I have noticed when my number goes below 85 I am lightheaded,sweating,tired, cant hold my head up,clammy.When my numbers go into the 70's I feel like I may pass out. If i can eat something I feel better for about two hours then I do this all over again. Latley it hard to even get out of the bed without getting sick.

Diabetes is all about (blood glucose) BG numbers. The Med. community decides where to draw the line. Used to be under 200 was good then they found out people under 200 developed complications. So the redrew the line at 180 guess what they too developed complications. So it went to 160 for a short time. We do know from studys and lab work that any BG over 140 causes damage to nerves and capillaries. Now most diabetics are higher at one hour and drop by hour 2.

I workout 3 or more times a week, I have MS if that figures into anything, My A1C floats around 6.1 to 6.3 when taken. My numbers are taken thee times a day, morning before eating, evening before eating dinner, and at night before bed. Usually the mornings have always been high from around 170 to 190, recently they been higher around 210 being an average. After a nice breakdast and lunch before dinner time my numbers are usually 115 to 151 being the highest. This I do not understand.

All nuts are classified as fatty foods, but most have a small amount of carbohydarates and protein in them too. This chart tells you how many grams of carbohydrates and fat are in different types of foods and are grouped by type of food. Go down to the Nuts and Seeds area and you will find the carbohydrates, protein and calorie amounts for the different types of nuts: http://whatscookingamerica.net/NutritionalChart.

Thank you. It appears that one cannot link directly to a source page on the ADA web site. Yours kept taking me to the main page. Using the ADA search button, I found the reference using key words "check glucose" which brought up a bunch of useful information. In fact it returned 750 hits. For those of you reading this, use key word(s) in the ADA site search button to retrieve information that are "not" seen on their main page and main page sub-listing categories.

I definitely agree that a doctor who "doesn't have time" to listen to you is not a good doctor for you. I'm a little confused about your numbers, especially since you use the Canadian numbers and it's easy to confuse them with A1Cs. What type of test was the 7.1? Was that an A1C or a fasting blood sugar. If the latter, yes 7.1 (127.8) fasting is just into the diabetic range. (126) The OGTT is just under the definition of diabetes (200). The 10.8 is 194.

I hated the glucose test. I couldnt ever quite stomach the taste of the drink they give you. It is not bad execpt you have to stay at the doc office the whole time (at least I did mine). I found out I was an actual diabetic with my first son at 6wks. The glucose test showed me as gestational but doc warned with it showing like that in such an early phase in pregnancy that I was more likely to be a regular diabetic and he was right..it stuck with me even after I gave birth to my first son.

My waking up/fasting numbers are between 140 and 155. I read that these numbers should be between 70 and 130.

I am a type 2 diabetic and normally my morning fasting glucose numbers are between mid 70 to mid 80;except when I exercice. I recently changed my excercise program to daily morning walks of around 2 1/2 miles for cardio and evening routines of 30 minutes of toning and strength resisitences. For the past couple of weeks, my fasting number in morning after my cardio routine has been running between 90 to 100. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Hi Everyone, I've been diagnosed with idiopathic Small Fiber Neuropathy which I'm sure as many of you know is a common malady with diabetics. The "idiopathic" is hard to accept, so I've been doing a lot of reading and research myself, and requested an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. I'd like to share my results of that test and other glucose-related tests and get some opinions if I could. Fasting Glucose: Low 80s (consistently) A1c: 5.

is a good book We do know carbohydrates raise BG ALL carbs raise BG, rice will raise your BG wheat will raise your BG potato will raise your BG bread will raise your BG Pasta will raise your BG In answer to the misinformed people your brain does NOT run on carbohydrates it runs on glucose. If your BG (blood Glucose) is over 70 your brain IS getting ALL the glucose it needs.

As numbers start to indicate heading toward diabetes, in the caution zone, what things should I be doing to head that off to make sure I don't end up with type 2 diabetes?

Hello, my doctor found that I have "impaired glucose tolerance". My glucose numbers in tests where above >140 after two hours. He prescribed metformin 500mg (which I have been taking for a year). This week my sugar has been around 72 two hours after eating. And I haven´t felt well. The weird thing is that my glucose numbers are very low, and I still urinate very frequently...why is this???? Why are my glucose numbers so low after eating?.

Just thought I would let you know I turned in my glucose chart to my doctor and she said my numbers look pretty good so I won't have to take pills for it at this time. I told her I can't afford the classes now but have been learning off the internet. Thanks for the different sites for the free strips and such. I never thought about that. I still have about 15 left that I will use only if I feel out of it or maybe just check it once weekly threw MH here.

a1c is the average, but it is also important to see the fasting numbers. Sometimes early in diabetes only the fasting numbers may be high, and paying attention to these may give a heads up on taking action. Ideally fasting is < 100 (and even better if it's in the 80s). Normal non-diabetic a1c is < 5.0, though you may not get diagnosed as diabetic until you are 5.7 or higher.

Just did a fasting glucose test in a lab and it came back at 108, which is pre-diabetes according to the chart. But I am at a healthy weight and run 6 miles every morning. So whatever the recommended lifestyle changes are, I am already doing more. Also no family history of diabetes. Could there be something external factor that contributed to that high reading?

No stoppage, I continue with my daily schedule as I do a fasting glucose test and an A1c test. The former every 2 months, the latter every 3 months. 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.

Diabetes is a numbers game and it is all about eating/drinking carbohydrates aka CARBS. What are CARBS? Yes, traditional white table sugar is CARBS, but so is flour, rice, potatoes, fruit, and corn to name a few. You are in more danger from flour, rice, and potatoes than you are from a teaspoon full of sugar!!! Can you imagine eating a cup of sugar, teaspoon full by teaspoon full? Yuck.

I'm confused. I have seen several postings with two digit type numbers that are not A1Cs, but self-test numbers. What is this "looks like a pen diagnostic machine" ? Is it something different that a regular glucose meter?

I went back to the doctor who found my numbers had not improved but worsened after a year and told me I had impaired glucose tolerance and that I had to keep on taking 500mg metformin. She didn´t understand why my numbers didn´t improve, since I had lost 40lbs and didn´t have family history of diabetes. Another important thing to mention, is that I have been weaning from the cymbalta (antidepressant).

If you google CSF lab results, you will find that an elevated glucose level is not significant. A low glucose level would be a bit more significant. Look it up on the web and hopefully that will answer your questions. Or someone in the group will come along and provide a good link. Lulu is really good at finding and providing testing links. What is your doctor telling you now?
