Common Questions and Answers about My blood sugar keeps going up

blood-sugar

Otherwise, I'll shake, nause, sweaty and feel faint. When my BS (blood sugar) reaches 5.2, I also have those symptoms. My normal Hba1c is around 7 - 7.7. My GP said it is no good. I didn't take minidiab regulary. My endo dr said, only take 2.5mg with large meal. Normal meal I don't need to take it. I try to limit to one visit per year to my endo doctor. She needs me to pay out of pocket which I can't afford that at the moment.

Is it possible for a fasting blood sugar to elevate from anxiety in the doctors office. My blood pressure can. It has gone from 140/70 to 110/58 in just five minutes at the clinic. I hate the doctors office. Even though my best friend is my internist, I get torqued out big time.

the endo said i have low sugars and i have to see a dietitian tomorrow to learn how to keep my sugars up. she didnt tell me why my sugars are dropping low at all. all she said is that its probably my diet. how does your diet make you have low sugars? so any one can have hypo or can it be something that is causing it and i need to be on a special diet to keep them up.

I have not been told if i have diabetes but my Dr. told me to watch my blood sugar because im having symptoms of hypo. I notice my blood sugar at night between 2-3 am are over 120 and my fasting blood sugar in the morning is over 100. When i get the fealing of low it is around 80 and it will keep dropping. the last time it went to 67 and i had to eat some thing i couldnt wait. i had a cup of oj and checked in 15 min and it went to 137.

Prednisone does tend to raise your blood sugar and you should do what you can to keep it down as much as possible. You did not mention if you are on insulin or pills or just diet control. Considering you are only taking prednisone for a very short time, you shouldn't have too much to worry about. If your blood sugar is at that level for a longer period of time that may bring about some damage. Exercise more, if possible, definitely drink lots more water and really watch your diet.

For example, I could eat cotton candy (as I did at a couple of baseball games) but my sugar didn't go up too much. But if I ate spaghetti, my sugar was off the charts! So, I discovered that carbs are what raised my sugar. Certain fruits were worse than others (bananas were the worst - which I LOVE). Some vegetables - like carrots - raised my sugar. If you can get your doctor to give you a glucose monitor, it's easy to figure out what works for you and what doesn't.

I know that diet and exercise are very important and have been trying to do those things, but it sounds easier than it is, and at this time I kinda feel like i took the easy way out, but my blood sugar was not going down, even if I starved myself. I was very scared about my decision to do this but i guess the bottom line is if I didnt get it down(blood sugar), I would be worse off and with the hep c being elevated, Dr.

Anyways I am not on Metformin I was prescribed it months ago but had terrible reaction to it. My OB told me that the chance of M/C is higher if my blood sugars are not in order (never been checked) I am overweight 240 I am currently in Weight Watchers and really watching my weight and sugar intake lost 6 lbs on Weight watchers in 2 weeks I have been working on my weight for about 2 months lost about 13 lbs total. So is there anything I can do now to keep my Blood sugar low so I dont M/C?

Ok, I have been tested this year and I keep up with my blood sugar daily because my mom is diabetic. My levels always been pretty normal. If I haven't eaten all day I can feel it but my blood sugar is only down to around 80-85. On normal circumstances my blood sugar is around 95-105. After I eat, it can get up to 115-120. However, yesterday I was hot (due to it being like 105 degrees here) so I ate not just one but 2 snowcones. When I got home I decided to check my blood sugar and it was 165.

You need to eat with in one to two hours after waking....my sugar will actually go up if I don't eat. My liver starts to make sugar and since I don't produce enough insulin and can't adequately use the insulin I produce it will just keep rising! Strangely enough, as soon as I eat - the levels will stabilize. If you are waking up at 3am with a 125 (although that is a good number - your liver might be confused and then start pumping out extra sugar which is causing you the higher fastings.

I am not able to go more than 1 1/2 hours without eating or my blood sugars go down. I have had an MRI on my abdomen, which was OK my pancreas was unremarkable. My doctor does not seem to know what is going on (just says that I am on my way to be a full fledge diabetic in the next couple of years) and that I will have these attacks and will have to learn to live with them. I am desperate to see if anyone can give me more information about what might be going on with my blood sugar levels.

Hi recently my BP shooted to 140/90 during that course i was tested for CBC, Renal, Lipid and Sugar. All the counts of CBC, Renal and Lipid are absolutely normal. But my fasting blood sugar was 8.1 which is quite high. Before this test i used BP tablest for 4 days until the test is done. Later from the next day i was tested for Random blood sugar several times for 2 days always the readings are normal the highest shown is 5.2. My doctor not even commented on this.

I slept til almost 3 and i had to just force myself to get up and unlock the door for my son. All i could think of was to check my blood sugar (i have a maachine from yrs ago when i had gest diab but have never had any other prob that i know of. Anyway, it was 56 which i think is low so i ate a couple of spoonsful of pb and drank a dr pepper. Waited 45 min and checked it again, it went up to 72. I still don't feel good but better than this morning....

Today when I took my sugars even though I'd eaten an apple and peanut butter only 1/2 hour earlier, my sugar went down to 64. I drank some OJ and I'm waiting a few more minutes to take my sugar to see if the OJ boosts it up where it belongs but I've never had this happen. I eat the same thing for breakfast. Any reason why suddenly my sugars are dropping?

I was wondering if there was a way I could keep track of my sugar levels easier. and how long does it take for high blood sugars to start causing more serious problems.

I have not been diagnosed but a few months and my doctor has not told me much of nothing. My sugar keeps going up and down, my doctor won't put me on medicine(the highest its been is 400+, the lowest 60) Thanks for your help!!!

I have been having too many low blood sugars. Unfortunately my endocrinologist cannot see me right away and I need some advice on managing low sugar levels. For the last few days I have been feeling very tired, sleepy and down. Any advise on how to adjust my insulin intake and overall advise on next steps. Thank you! Is Actos (15mg) for Insulin Dependent Diabetics?

I was told it was probably low blood sugar but that would not explain the numbness or the tingling sensation (and this was probably the worst part). This has never occurred to me before. I had eaten a sandwich for breakfast at about 7 AM and this occurred at about 2:20 PM when I was about to perform. I had been feeling really weak prior to this occurrence but not as badly as I did at that moment.

I really believe this is all being caused by fluctuating hormones, since my symptoms of lightheadedness and low blood sugar occur before my period and a little during. I am also working on my diet, no sugar and adding a lot of vegetables and juicing. It's been helping me with less low sugar symptoms. May try adding progesterone cream( Pro-gest) only after checking with my OBGYN to see if my levels need it. Take care and hope you start feeling better.

Ok well good luck with your next test keep me posted. Thanks a lot for your reply I will keep you posted. Would it of showed up on a blood test if I had diabetes? because I had a blood test in January. But then again I only found out there was sugar in my urine on Friday.

My morning blood sugar readings are now between 95 and 105 but if I don't take the Metformin they go up to 115 to 120. I don't test alot during the day but on those times I have after a meal I'm usually in the 120's. What was your diagnosis of Type 2 based on? Did you have the 2 or 3 hours glucose test? Sounds like your doing great managing your numbers!

Being hypothyroid (I see your TSH was 6.6) will cause the lipids (ie cholesterol, triglyerides) to go up. Everytime I get TSH above 4-5, my cholesterol & trigs would go up. It's a know fact by doctors that hypothyroidism can cause an elevation of lipids. Are you taking meds for cholesterol & did they test for it? This last TSH was 10.8 and it was the first time that my lipids did not go out of range. They went up about 20-30 points but cholesterol stayed below 200 ( it was 166).

This is a totally expected side effects of the steroid. It's not a question of if or when the blood sugar will go up. Just how high will it go? I wish your doctor had given you some better guidelines about what "watch it" means. Maybe you can call the office in the morning and ask how high it needs to be before he wants to hear from you. Longer use of steroids can sometimes create a situation where people temporarily need pills or insulin to bring the blood sugar down.

I'm another volunteer and also a pumper. It's a good idea to keep your notes/readings about BGs, periods, stress, food, etc for a while. Then go back over them to see what patterns you detect. Sometimes, there's a food that we metabolize differently than we assumed, and your notes would help you discover that pattern. For example, you meal might include a certain type of bread/roll for which you bolus XX units based on the nutrition labelling.

00 pm until 10:00 am. My numbers were up to 500 again. I got them back to 300 by 3:00 pm, but have continued to feel just as sick. I am also drinking a lot of water. What else should I do? When will I start feeling better?

I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor now. Another interesting thing is my blood sugar is always it's highest when I first wake up in the morning (well over 300 in the am). I've tried checking it in the middle of the night to make sure that it isn't dropping to low at night (I eat supper around 5:30 and don't eat again till breakfast) and it's usually just in the low 200's.

I'm all of a sudden throwing really high blood sugars and we (doc included) can't figure it out. They just keep escalating. Tonight, I'm up to 215. Never been that high ever. So my honey and I are wondering if the copaxone could be triggering this. Started elevating since I've been on it.

How fast should blood sugar levels come down with strict adherence to low-sugar, low-carb foods? My situation: I am greatly encouraged; my level has gone from 402 a little over two weeks ago to 105 this afternoon. Numbers are mid 120's and 115 or so prior to suppertime.

I bought a glucose monitor and am ready to prove my point. My arrhythmia tends to go haywire at certain times of the day..quite often after mealtimes... with the worse being after supper, in which is when I eat my main meal. When should the glucose tests be taken and if after each meal... about how long? How often should it be taken? What are "normal" levels? What number should be labeled as too high or too low?

I have a question, and I hope some of you have some experience with this! I am going to be doing shot 6 on Thursday. For the past week or so, my blood sugar levels are really wacked out. Now, I don't actually check it because I have never had a problem, but I can tell. If I don't get up in the morning and eat protein immediately, it's like I can't recover for the rest of the day. My body is craving protein like crazy.
