Hypoglycemia glucose results
Common Questions and Answers about Hypoglycemia glucose results
hypoglycemia
basal glucose 92 mg/dl (ranges 65-110)
30 min 52 mg/dl (ranges 110-170) OUT OF RANGE
60 min 82 mg/dl (ranges <140)
120 min 63 mg/dl (ranges 70-120) OUT OF RANGE
180 min 101 mg/dl (no reference range)
It would be great if someone could give me their feedback regarding these GTT results.
Also, does the low fructosamine value doesn't mean that I could have hypoglycemia?
From what I have read, reactive hypoglycemia is not diagnosed by a fasting glucose blood test alone but rather a GTT/OGTT. Is this your understanding? (If this is a test that women get during their pregnancy, I am surprised that my Doctor didn't suggest it as he delivers babies!)
I eat very little salt. My blood pressure is normal (more on the low end of normal).
They ran some blood tests and my glucose (not fasting) was 61 mg/dl, WBC were 4.0 (1000/CMM), Hematocrit 35.9% and Lymphocytes were 44.1 %. Everything else looked normal. My TSH levels were 2.44 MIU/ML. My question is this: Can you have a problem with your thyroid even though your TSH tests normal? And, does the lowered WBC and high Lymphocyte count something that I should look into further? Thank you for your help!
In situations of pre-diabetes, we often hear that people have bouts of hypoglycemia. This happens when the glucose levels start to rise too much and the person's body over-compensates by producing too much insulin. Many hypoglycemic folks eventually do end up being diabetic after the pancreas wears itself out and is no longer able to lower those glucose levels. Most doctors recommend a diet fairly low in carbohydrates to avoid stimulating the already over-active pancreas.
However, the symptoms you write to us would lead me to advise you to make an appointment with his doctor just to make sure that he has not had some small stroke or something like that, and even more important, to have the doctor send you to a lab so you can compare the results of his glucose meter with one in the lab or with lab results. It is possible that his meter is not accurate right now for some reason, and it may need to be either calibrated or replaced.
One more suggestion...
I asked a friend who happens to be a nutrisionist and she said it might be hypoglycemia. Now to my question or I guess concern.
When I had my CBC done, my fasting blood sugar was 95, I still didn't feel that everything was right with my blood sugar so I bought a glucose monitor to do random blood sugar tests. In the morning my BS is never lower than approximately 85.
ve been researching reactive hypoglycemia as well. I recently had an OGTT w/insulin check and my two hr glucose dropped to 55 (from 66 at the 1hr). Anyway, the 55 was flagged as being low. Now, what occurred with you could be totally normal, I don't know...I don't want to freak you out with my next statement because it might not apply, but I have read that reactive hypoglycemia *can be* associated with hypothyroidism and adrenal issues.
When reading your comments, it occurred to me that your symptoms, including the slightly low glucose reading on your glucose tolerance test sound more like hypoglycemia than diabetes. Hypoglycemia means that your blood sugar is too LOW, not high (diabetes).
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.
I HAVE HAD HYPOGLYCEMIA FOR OVER 7 YEARS. CAN I TURN INTO A DIABETES. I HAVE BEEN GETTING SYSTMON OF DIABETES BUT MY GLUCOSA TEST COMES OUT LOW OF 62 FASTING IN THE MORNING .MY HANDS AND FEET FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT. I HAVE TROUBLE WALKING MY LEGS HURT ESPECIAL IF I SIT FOR A WHILE.
I have known people with classic symptoms who surely suffer from this problem who have had negative results from glucose tolerance tests. This is because there are so many factors that can contribute to hypoglycemia -- stress, hormones, activity, what foods you eat, and a myriad more. So sometimes the hypoglycemia doesn't happen when you are being tested. But it is worth asking your doctor to check for.
3-4 hours after meals, or when I'm hungry, I frequently get symptoms such as irritation, heart palpitations, asthma like symptoms feeling like I can't take deep breaths, extreme hunger... most of them go away as soon as I eat something.
Now sounds like hypoglycemia (reactive or whatever) but when I check my blood glucose, it is around 100 a bit more which means it's not hypoglycemia. .
What else may be causing this? My docs say it's not asthma.
The test that we recommend in the United States to check for hypoglycemia is a glucose tolerance test. I suspect from some of the foods you are listing that you do not live in the United States, so I don't know what this test would be called in your country.
I got a call from my doctor two days later and my glucose was 56. They were concerned about me being possibly hypoglycemic. Been checking it on and off and reading a lot on the subject but no definite answer as to what I need to be watching for in the future. It ranges from being in the 60s to 120s. The highest I've ever saw it go is 122 but that was two hours after eating.
