Common Questions and Answers about Blood sugar chart with ha1c
blood-sugar
At 72, I've never had any doctor address anything regarding an elevated blood sugar level from bloodwork done every 6 months! Had bloodwork done 2 weeks ago, my blood sugar level is 133...how do I deal with this?
What has caused this? Doctor is concerned, not frantic about this today, but I am alarmed.
Just go to your doctor and asked to be tested for FBS (fasting blood sugar) and HA1C - which gives an idea of your blood sugar over the past 3 months. Target FBS would ideally be 80 - 90 (though they don't consider it diabetes until about 120), and HA1C should ideally be 4.7 (again they normally don't consider it diabetes until about 6.1).
To reduce your ha1c, you need to avoid foods that raise your blood sugar. in particular this would mean avoiding refined carbohydrates. The best way to see the effects of food on your sugar levels is to test using a home test kit 2 hours after eating.
If your levels are really high medications like metformin may also help.
However, if your levels are really high you should be working with a doctor to optimise your levels.
However, if you can get a blood sugar test kit (and strips) you could test fasting blood sugar (as soon as you wake up and before eating), and 2 hours after meals. If these numbers are high, then you would need to see a doctor.
Keep an eye out, there may be free blood sugar testing offered by some pharmacies / in malls from time to time.
Why do you think you have diabetes? WHat are your symptoms?
Do continue to have your blood sugar tested on a regular basis. Also, keep in mind down the road that if your blood sugar start to rise dramatically and you are diagnosed with diabetes to get your antibodies tested to determine if you are Type 1 or Type 2 as having another autoimmune disorder (thyroid) can be an indicator of Type 1.
I would definitely recommend keeping track of it closely for awhile. Those symptoms sounded very much like DKA which would not be surprising with a blood sugar of 1,000!!! If she feels like that again I would take her to the ER. Continue to monitor it for safety's sake, perhaps get a home meter. If you have any more high numbers I would take her to a pediatric endocrinologist who is more qualified to deal with it than your regular pediatrician.
Just so you know, i am NOT a diabetic, nor does it run in my family, i do however have a question.
about 5 hours ago i had mcdonalds, then about 3 hours ago i had 2 helpings of sun sweet prunes and a pepsi with natural sugar. I just took my levels with my GF's mothers test meter and it read 133 and then 45 minutes later the same. I yield no symptoms, no dizzyness or lightheaded, not really tired. Any idea?
hey all, i have not been diagnosed with diabetes but i do have neuropathy and have been ruled out for just about any neuro disorder that could cause my symptoms (burning feet/pain, numbness, tingling in hands/feet). i had a blood sugar test (the finger ***** one) and my level was "perfect". i scheduled a glucose tolerance test just because i want to 100% sure i dont have diabetes...is this necessary? do i need the glucose test if my blood sugar test came back just fine???
but for the past year and a half because of financial reasons, and no health insurance i have been without my meds. I recently had high sugar readings..and my goiter is larger. The clinic who handled my labs had the nurse call and tell me nothing is wrong with my thyroid..or diabetes...i am in a nightmare.
Or, one slice low carb [12g], 0 sodium, 0 sugar toasted whole wheatberry bread with pure peanut butter topped with sugar free jam. You'll feel satisfied w/o worry of raising blood sugars. Be sure to test your bedtime blood sugars. Going to bed with high levels means one-third of your day is spent with above normal levels.
