Glucose range fasting

Common Questions and Answers about Glucose range fasting

glucose

You are asking if coming off of replacement hormones can give an artificial drop in her glucose level. Honestly a random glucose level is affected by steroid hormones in general but should be still in normal range regardless. So if you are on corticosteroids rather than female hormones this will raise your level if you are unable to make the appropriate insulin response. In your child I would not worry about this. It does not change things.

BLOOD TEST ALT 71 ? TSH,BLD,QN MINOR 0.005 FREE T 4 2.11 GLUCOSE POST FAST 105 AND 107 CREATININE O.4 ANION GAP SerPl 8 CHOLESTEROL 218 WHAT THIS RANGES MEANS??? PLEASE!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN 15 DAYS.

I am a 31 year old with no prior medical history. I am fit, eat well and exercise regularly. I had a complete physical one month ago and the doctor sent me the blood work results. At the bottom he wrote "all test results look very good" Next to the lipid profile he wrote "excellent". The problem is, the glucose number (after fasting) was 125. The reference rage on that line was 70-126. My last phsyical 2 years prior with a different doctor included complete blood work.

Does a persons age play a factor for their "normal" fasting glucose range? During my last visit to my 82 yo mother, I happened to see her test results that showed her fasting glucose range topping out at 180 mg. I, on the other hand, being 60 yo & under immunosuppressant meds have a range from 50 - 150 mg, yet I constantly hear the normal range is 70 - 120. Both of our blood samples are tested at the same lab too. So what is the "normal" fasting glucose range?

But whenever i check the blood glucose levels with the glucometer, i find that the fasting values are not within the range of normal values viz 110 for fasting. 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?

Hi All I went to a health fair and had blood taken out of my finger and the reading was 7.50. So the Dr sent me for a glucose fasting test and thank goodness it came below the range at 4.80 but I don't understand what it means?? I also have an under-active thyroid, I do get alot of tingling and numbness in my hands. Could anyone please explain these results.

What is the normal range for blood glucose fasting, 1 hour after eating and 2 hours after eating? I think mine might be a bit high...

About a year and a half a year ago, I was diagnosed with impaired glucose fasting, fasting glucose level was 119. At that time I was complaining of constant thirst, frequent urination, and sometimes night sweats, and slow healing. 6 month follow-up (one year ago) the fasting glucose level was 113. A1C was 6.0 I have been modifiying diet, exercising frequently and have lost approx 10-12 lbs.

108 to 132 mg/dL), but my HbA1c remains normal or near-normal (range: 4.5 to 5.3%). My fasting insulin and C-peptide are within normal ranges. A low-carbohydate diet (<100 grams/day) did not help; increasing my activity level helped somewhat. I would describe myself as a very anxious person and, in the past year, would probably have satisfied the criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, if I had chosen to seek medical help (doing a bit better now, thanks).

I have always suffered from hypoglycemic attacks (increased pulse rate, dizziness, shaking, etc.) when I go too long without eating. However, my fasting glucose was 102 during a recent test. That seems odd to me - I was very suprised to find out that it was high instead of low. Does anyone know what this might mean? Hope I'm not posting in the wrong area... just thought someone might have some insight. Thanks!

Hi, i wish to enquire the recommended range of blood glucose content for diabetes patient who is taking medicine. What should be the immediate action if the blood glucose content still high even taking medicine. for example: the blood glucose content in the morning after fasting for 12hours to be 9.2mmol/L and after lunch to be 14.5mmol/L...Should we consider this as normal for diabetes patient? or we should increase the dosage of medicine?

Normally, before I knew I had Hep C and when I did other lab work, I fasted because usually they were doing a blood glucose level and cholesterol levels. Since I have been on treatment, I have not fasted for any tests. There really is no way to fast for lab and still pack in the 20 grams of fat and a meal 4 times a day. If you want to be absolutely 100% sure, call your docs office and get the lab's number and call the lab.

From 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L) Normal fasting glucose From 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) Impaired fasting glucose (pre-diabetes) 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) and above on more than one testing occasion Diabetes Postprandial: Less than 140 mg/dl or 6.

Most doctors that I have been to like to have their diabetic patients aim for before-meal (fasting) glucose readings of between 70-126. After meals, the articles I have read state that sugar levels can rise to about 146 before a patient is considered having diabetic levels. So my opinion (not a doctor, but as another diabetic) is that your numbers seem to be very comfortably in the normal range right now. Do keep up the good work!

and also received the above glucose count - I was in hospital a few months ago with pneumonia and p/e and was shocked when my glucose count went to 177 - and then back down within a day - I was on drip anti-biotics and heparin. I know my eating habits changed while recuping - no salads due to vitamin K - went to coffee shop every morning - and had something I had not seen since I moved away from home. Maple covered doughnuts.

I also have polycyclic ovary syndrome, and tend to have levels of testosterone at the higher end of normal. For this reason, I am given a glucose fasting test every year, and have done so for four years, as well. My results have always been within range, typically between 75-80. This year, however, my GP ordered a total cholesterol test along with my yearly glucose test and the results are disturbing. My fasting glucose was 116 and my total cholesterol was a measly 92.

The answer to your question is that it doesn't matter whether they call it non fasting or fasting glucose test result. You know you were fasting and the numbers are what your blood glucose was on those two tests. And they are slightly elevates and fall within the range of impaired fasting glucose. I think you should closely monitor your lab values and you might want to invest in a glucometer to test your blood yourself.

Ask him/her for the C-Peptide test as Zoe suggested along with a thyroid [TSH test] checked. Abnormal thyroids can and will disrupt blood glucose levels. Lastly, along with morning fasting testing it is important to know when to test [prandial & postprandial], especially with strenuous exercise. Post back if unsure and we can provide the times.

I have been working to reduce my weight since (down 25 lbs, 25 to go) and adjusted my diet to eliminate as much sugar as I could conveniently manage to do. Latest fasting glucose reading is 109 (this reading being more typical of the impaired fasting glucose levels of the past 5 years), glyco of 6.2 after 3 months of my revised diet. I have doubt that losing the other 25 lbs will fix the problem, since I was experiencing high fasting glucose levels 5 years ago when I was at a normal weight.

You have the right mindset that proper nutrition, physical daily exercise, normal body weight and a normal lipid panel all help to maintain normal glucose levels. Your last posted levels are within the normal range, keep up the good work.

I have type 2 diabetes and was insulin dependant with both of my pregnancies.

In my humble opinion, your number is really pretty normal (the range that has been quoted to me as normal for a fasting glucose test is slightly different from the one you gave... the numbers my endocrinologist uses are 70-126).

Thats high for fasting...but the cut off after the one hour is 139 or less...basically at 140 they can make you retest...if 113 was after you ate/drank...then i would call and clarify...cuz thats actually a really good score!

I have a fasting blood glucose level of 101 and 102 for several years now and have been taking diovan hct and excedrin. I know these drugs have the ability to raise blood sugar readings. Should I be concerned about these readings? If I get off these drugs will my levels return to normal?

Hi there, Why would you think you’re at risk for diabetes? The reference range for fasting blood glucose is <99, I believe. Occasional increases are to be expected; prediabetes isn’t suspected until several fasting BG tests are between 100 and 125. Fatigue is very common with HV therapy; don’t be surprised if you sleep much more than you’re accustomed to. You do want to keep an eye on hemoglobin, as well as white blood cells (absolute neutrophils, actually) and platelets.

• Fasting: 1st thing in morning b4 eating or drinking any colored liquids • Postprandial: 2-3 hours after a meal Post back with your test results exactly how they appear on your copy of the lab sheet. Include the target ranges too, we can take it from there. In the meantime, have a Happy New Year celebration.

Here's the study that found out that having a fasting blood sugar over 100 decrease SVR.... Co Glucose >100 mg/dl Reduces Interferon/RBV SVR http://www.natap.org/2008/HCV/031008_01.

//www.rajeun.net/HbA1c_glucose.html Here are the fasting glucose ranges Normal 70-99 mg/dl or 3.888-5.5 mmol/l Prediabetes 100-125 mg/dl or 5.555-6.94 mmol/l Diabetes 126 mg/dl and above or 7 mmol/l and above Postprandial (after meal) 2-3 hours <180 mg/dl or <10 mmol/l Some doctors want <140 mg/dl or <7.777 mmo/l (< means less than) You should try to get a home test kit. It is the only way you're going to know firsthand what each type of foods is doing to your glucose levels.
