Common Questions and Answers about My blood sugar keeps going up

blood-sugar

Avatar f tn d work my butt off to get down to it, but then I took a health risk assessment with my healthcare provider just to see where my standings were now and found out that all of my levels are within ideal range, even my weight! (And blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterols and triglycerides are all perfect!) Here I'd been looking at my BMI which has been saying that I'm still overweight so I've been stressing myself out wondering how to get down more.
Avatar f tn Hypoglycemia/ low blood sugar would be considered blood sugar levels less than about 70. Your result of 103 is normal, not hypoglycemia. It is likely that your symptoms may be from other causes. Sometimes headaches can be a sign of not drinking enough - so a glass of water and a few minutes to relax / be quiet - may help a lot. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn You may want to see a regular doctor to get a full blood panel done to see if there are any problems going on. Like Jerry said, sugar and caffeine themselves may be part of the problem and quitting smoking would be in your best interests. I smoked for 25 years and the doctor said it was the best thing I could have done for my heart. It's good you are being seen by a cardiologist but until then or if it happens again try drinking lots of water and see if it helps it slow down.
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me how high your blood sugar should get before you become alarmed or call the doctor? 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!!!
Avatar f tn Tried to lay down and then baby boy started kicking and punching like crazy. I guess the sugar woke him up. I tried my best to hold it down, but i just couldn't.. Now i gotta do it again -.- and as soon as it came back up, my little guy went to sleep. I think he was just trying to get it out of me lol but do you wonderful ladies have any tips to keep it down next time? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Thank you. I'll do that next time I just never had this with my other pregnancy before so it really scared me. I've already had the glucose test done and it was normal a couple months ago.
Avatar m tn Hmmm I've never heard of Cheerios spiking blood sugar; good thing I quite eating it a while back, huh?... LOL Have you considered that it might be the blueberries? They have a lot of sugar in them and even though it's "natural", it can spike blood sugar levels. I'm impressed with your 26 lb weight loss... If I could lose 26 lbs, I'd be about where I want/need to be. Have you thought (or talked to your doctor) about daily or weekly blood testing with a home meter?
Avatar m tn s may not do the trick but if you eat something that you think is going to make your blood sugar go up drink lots of water right after eating and it will equalize it self out i now this becuz when i was preg. with my daughter i had ges. diebetes. had to check my blood sugar 4 times a day.
5149794 tn?1374087979 How far along are you have you looked up low blood sugar that's how iam and I got low blood sugar
7552771 tn?1469929649 The amount of sugar in the drink for the test alters your blood sugar greatly. Its designed so that it spikes your sugar super high in hopes that your body will be able to produce the insulin it needs. When you eat regular foods you aren't getting the same drastic response especially if you have protein along with your carbs... If you were to sit and eat a bag of Swedish fish though you'd respond differently.
Avatar n tn Since the beginning of this summer we have been dealing with night time low blood sugar while she sleeps. Most of the time we catch it and give her something to correct it but more times than not 4 to be exact she has woke up in the morning feeling nauseated, headache and sometimes throwing up yet her bloods sugars are showing normal to the 200's when we test her. One of the times she had to go to the hospital.
Avatar n tn Would you say this is out of the normal range. I had blood work done about a month ago when I had my annual physical and my sugar level came back at 109. My doctor didn't seem to alarmed.
233552 tn?1228319699 I went to the doc today and he gave me my results....my blood sugar is 217. I knew that this would happen again but I wanted it to wait another month or two. My doc is going to put me on a diet after this weekend. I told him that you can't put a pregnant woman on a diet and he laughed right along with me. Then he said oh yes I can. Silly doctors. Baby's heartbeat still in the 160's and get U/S next month to find out what I'm having and I can't wait.
1448460 tn?1284694467 I was on prednisone for several months and my blood sugar was rarely below 400 which is why they put me on insulin. If you are overly concerned, speak with your doctor or diabetes consultant. Don't be passive about your health, be proactive and talk to your doctors about your concerns and fears. You are working with them as part of a team, with the goal of getting you back to healthy again. Best of luck and my prayers go out to you for a speedy recovery!
1058898 tn?1275675151 they also was taking blood out of my arm every time they checked my blood with the meter. my labs were coming back as below 70. so this whole time when i started to feal hypo when my blood sugar was in the 90, it was really in the 70 and below. 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?
Avatar f tn Are you on meds that drive blood sugar up - such as statins for high cholesterol or some high blood pressure meds?
Avatar n tn In re: to your daughters sugar level. What were the circumstances? When had she last eaten? Was she ill? How much water does she drink on a daily basis? Before you noticed she was really thirsty - what was her drinking pattern and WHAT was she drinking? Did she get enough water? Did she usually only drink juice and milk? Children's BG levels are the same as adults. The ADA and ACE differ on what those should be, however. Hope all works out well..
703858 tn?1274669802 Okay ladies, how big of a deal is the CA 125 number. I know this is kind of a ridiculous question but I still need some perspective. I keep reading about ladies that jump 10 or 20 points and are freaking out. My mom seems to jump by the hundreds. The last jump after 2 rounds of doxil went from 944 to 1167. It had been increasing since December. She started Gemzar last week and has one more round before her week "off". Then we see.
Avatar n tn Is 130 high for blood sugar?
Avatar f tn Anything with carbs is going to spike your blood sugar. If your trying to stabilize blood sugar, I would recommend eating lots of protein and vegetables. As for carbs, choose the healthy carbs or brown rice and more slow digesting carbs. That way your blood sugar won't rise as high or fast. I'm type 1 diabetic and pregnant, so u have been testing blood sugar like crazy for a good amount of my life.
Avatar n tn 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.
7631083 tn?1394352887 For the past week or so there has been a couple of times where I feel very weak and my hands start to shake. I know it means my blood sugar is low so I will try to hurry up and eat something. Its sometimes when I first wake up and there are times when its in the middle to late at night. I'm 36 weeks and 4 days. I should probably tell my doctor when I go in on Friday or should I be more worried about it and do something now?
2109562 tn?1347253848 Okay so last night my sugar dropped, which it usually doesn't, I got so dizzy, my vision was blurry, I got the cold sweats, my ears even started ringing, reaaaally bad. My sugar has dropped before but last night it just felt really bad. I almost fainted. I usually don't watch my sugar cause I don't have a huge problem with it.
Avatar m tn Then I went to my doctors (I do have an appointment to see an ENT), so my blood pressure is fine, my blood work came out good, and so is my heart. In every essence I am healthy besides not sleeping. So, after that lengthy post, I wanted to know: has anyone ever experienced something like this? Does anyone have any idea why its waking me up? I know a great deal has to do with the fact I have a deviate septum, but when it happens my sinuses are not always plugged.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else had extreme blood sugar drops? Mine gets to where i lose vision and cant walk or almost hurl everywhere:'( i already struggle with hyperglacimia would pregnancy make it worse??
10507517 tn?1413289594 I had to do the same thing, they told me not to eat after 10 the night before. Only drink water. They took out blood first & then gave me a even sweeter drink. Then they drew out blood three times, the first an hr after the drink the second the hr after that and so on. The doctor said if it were to come up high they would just send me to another doctor to check & help regulate my sugar. Thankfully it came out normal.
