Common Questions and Answers about High glucose blood count

Avatar n tn One more note of advice -- you cannot COUNT on this happening, so a low is very possible if you count on it like you count on eating a muffin to raise glucose levels. It really depends on what else is going on in your life at that moment, whether adrenals are stimulated and for me, whether I am drinking coffee with food or not.
446335 tn?1223948356 PCP talked her into it and 50 min later my fasting blood draw was 126. Better but high. 60 min after glucose my reading was 187, and at 120 min it was at 79. Taken as a set these numbers don't make much sense, point to blood sugar levels making some big swings. So the A1c test should give me a sane number (I HOPE). Regardless of what I find, following a healthy diet and keeping the focus on exercise makes a whole lot of sense. It should be what we all do all the time!!
Avatar n tn I went to the ER not long ago and I was told I had very high blood sugar, I had not eaten anything for more than 8 hours other than toast.
Avatar f tn Just a quick update. Finished steroids yesterday and slept better last night. Blood glucose quite high but told this is normal and they will check in 2 weeks to see if it comes down. Not back to work full time as taking it slow. Im sure in 2 weeks I will feel back to my normal self. Just so glad I decided to take the steroids.
Avatar n tn It sounds as if you have a glucometer since you said you have checked his glucose levels. Do you know what is considered "normal" in glucose readings? Glucose levels for non-diabetics and for diabetic people go up and down all day long. Most doctors don't consider glucose levels to be too low unless they drop below 70, but a person can start to feel a little bit bad if in the low 70's, so this might explain why your son didn't feel like eating when his sugar was at 73.
576054 tn?1217783138 My doctor will be doing tests in a few weeks, but I have had some fairly high glucose levels lately. I also have a history of high blood pressure although that has been better most of the time lately. Tonight all of a sudden I started having a terrible headache and nausea. My glucose level was somewhat high. So either this was due to the glucose levels or due to high blood pressure. Whatever it is, I am so tired of being sick and tired all of the time.
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+.
107693 tn?1252864443 My husband last was A1C 6.2 . My question is, why is that his blood glucose is high upon waking up. It is 130 than he has breakfast and works out. So about four hours later the blood glucose level are in the 80's.
107693 tn?1252864443 went to primary doctor and again my whit blood cell count is high -13.2 - Had this in march and was sent for a bactery of blood test and they came out negative. I have enlarged thyroid with 5 nodules and one being 2.3x2.0 just had second ultrasound and no change. I had pericarditis 4yrs ago and it was due to a virus. My thyroid results are normal except for Thyroglobuling AB (antibodies) is 557 IU/ML range <20. I feel weak and dry mouth.
Avatar n tn is there anything you can do at home when your blood glucose is too high to bring it back down?
607566 tn?1221252380 When your nonfasting blood test comes back with a count of over 100 tryglycerics it means that your glucose blood count is too high. Anything over 100 tryglycer.... is a reason to have your glucose blood counted. Do whatever the doctor tells you to do in preparation for the diabetes test.
Avatar m tn Less pressure means less glucose and oxygen to brain so the brain will get your head a ground level so that it can get the needed glucose and oxygen which is why people faint...........High blood pressure will most likely cause a headache, but then again anything is possible. I keep my pressure low with 400 mg magnesium, 5 grams time release vitamin c, cayenne pepper capsules, walking about 30 minutes daily, and 10 mg Lisinopril.
Avatar m tn After managing to arouse him just a little, I ended up calling 911. It turns out his glucose was only 40 and he had an elevated white blood count (27,000). He was admitted and evaluated for intessuption (sp? he didn't have it) and given glucose. After one bag he was only up to 53. Two bags 65. He was on maintenance IV after that. 36 hours later the "diagnosis" was constipation. Glucose was normal as was his WBC.
Avatar m tn Sexual dysfunction is one of the complications that can happen from having long-term high blood sugar level. High blood sugar level decreases blood flow and also causes nerve damage (permanent damage). Therefore it is important to keep blood sugar levels under control. However, if you are having low blood sugars, you should talk to the doctor as the person above suggested, or talk to your diabetes educator to get your insulin adjusted.
Avatar n tn There is no definite recommendation at this time regarding medication treatment for these levels of abnormal glucose handling, but in many cases where other issues are present(such as high cholesterol, being overweight, family history of diabetes and high blood pressure) some doctors will start a low dose of Metformin. That is something you may consider discussing with your doctor as well. Take care and keep up the excellent work.
Avatar f tn / I go see my Dr tomorrow so I will talk to him then about my concern. Anyone else having this? Or have had it in the past?
