Avatar m tn Vienna is correct, it could just be genetic, in any case there are many medical options to bring your number down very quickly. Also, take a look at the DASH diet as created by the NIH to combat high blood pressure. Below is a link; http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/new_dash.pdf This diet is designed to balance you diet and eliminate excess sodium, it's worth looking at.
Panda I am so impressed that you were able to bring your blood glucose back to normal and your A1C down to 6.4. How long were you on the diet before your A1C from from 9.9 to 6.4? I went on a diet and my A1C went from 6.9 to 7.3. I took in way too little calories and lost 10 pounds - down to 105 lbs now! But my cholesterol went down drastically.
Avatar n tn my blood sugar is 245 b4 bed how do I lower it quickly to a range that is comfortable?
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.
11909894 tn?1424448742 I have been tested twice and had high blood sugar each both time before I was recommended a gestational diabetes test, I then had low blood sugar for the 12 hr fast. Having a different midwife each time seems to make things a little difficult and I don't feel safe. The last midwife I had said everything was fine and said they she didn't see anything out of the ordinary when in fact the midwife I had before her had ordered another glucose test out of concern.
Avatar m tn Bread is a simple carb and spikes the blood sugar pretty quickly. If your body is producing adequate insulin, it would bring the blood sugar down pretty quickly. You should wait 2 hrs after a meal to test blood sugar, so it's unlikely that you have diabetes. If in doubt, have your doctor do a Hemoglobin A1c test and/or a glucose tolerance test.
Avatar n tn I had mentioned to a friend with a diabetic son that after I exercise(run) in the morning my blood sugar will sometimes shoot up 100-150 points and this is after a reading of 120-150 prior to running on my treadmill. I then have readings that are 200-250 and I get very frustrated! I am a type I diabetic for 26 years. I thought this was strange seeing that I had not eaten anything to make my blood sugar climb so high.
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+.
Avatar m tn I'm thinking of just going at this point since it won't go down, and I can't stand another day like, this. I went to bed really hi because of dinner which I covered, tried a site change and slow dropped down my blood sugat. I just want to know what is causing this. I can't even bring my blood sugar down at this point. My doctor is seeing me friday, but I'll push for Tuesday.
4250330 tn?1388621179 What Can I Eat For Low Blood Sugar I Feel Really Shaky And My Hearts Beating Fast And Everything This Happened Last Time I Thought My Blood Sugar Was Low.. Im 31 Weeks and 6 Days pregnant..
349463 tn?1333571576 If im not mistaken the test measures the ability of how your body handles large amounts of sugar, non-diabetic your levels will get hi and your body will do what it is suppose to do to bring the levels back down to a normal level but quickly. When it takes your body longer to bring the levels down it could be a possible indicator of diabetes and your body may need some assistance to bring the levels down, like insulin or pills.
Avatar n tn My blood sugar swings from low to high , its been as low as 52 in the morning to 210 2 hours after a meal any body got any advice , it can really make u feel strange .
Avatar n tn Hi, you could see your dr and get prescribed insulin. This is the best and quickest way to bring down blood sugars. Do see your dr and see what medications are appropriate. Exercise, low carb eating (paleo / primal / keto are some possible eating styles / approaches) can all help. Plenty of water. You;ve done it before, you can do it again. Diabetes is the unwelcome friend we'd love to ignore, but can't. please let us know how you go.
1448460 tn?1284694467 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. 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.
180395 tn?1287493997 Donuts are not good (I know you said this is not usual) because they digest very quickly releasing a lot of sugar, then your insulin levels will go way up and drive the sugar down. However, becuase the donuts are already digested there is not enough ready sugar available (and maybe your insulin response was very high) and then your blood sugars will be driven very low.
Avatar f tn His last blood sugar reading was over 600 on his meter and there was vomit in the bath tub. So I know he went into high blood sugar coma but would like to know the timeline. What damages occurs and how long after he passes out? How quickly would he have become unconscious? And if anyone has been brought back from diabetic coma did they feel any pain while out? At what point would it have been to late to revive him without permant damage? thank you for any insite you can provide.
Avatar n tn Today about 20 minutes after my lunch I started sweating, feeling weak, heart racing, etc. I checked my blood sugar and it was 71 after eating a chicken salad, salad. I checked it before eating and it was 77 so why would it go down after eating a salad and a few wheat crackers? 71 is normal but again I felt horrible, weak, shaky, anxiety, etc. Could this be something other than Hypoglycemia? Before I had lunch I ran 2.5 miles on the treatmill and felt fine so this is beginning to puzzle me.
Avatar f tn They do that so they have a baseline for you (what your sugar is before the drink) and then can compare to see how quickly your body processes it. How quickly it goes down is more important than the number itself.
Avatar n tn This can happen in even non-diabetics but usually their insulin is working well enough to bring it down fairly quickly. If this continues, I would see you PCP and discuss what measures can be taken to help the bg level. Are you a diagnosed diabetic or pre-diabetic? You might want to have an A1C blood test to see exactly where you bg's stand if not.
Avatar n tn I need to know what it is called when your sugar is normal and when you sleep your sugar drops and then your body releases glucagon to bring it up and it causes a spike in the blood sugar?
Avatar m tn Diabetes is the bodies in-ability to process carbohydrates properly resulting in high blood sugar (BG). ALL carbohydrates not just sugar. Your body turns all carbohydrates into BG . I dont know what your "diet" is that you follow. BUT it has more carbohydrates than your body can process. Even the ADA's diet has too many carbs for you OR/AND you need drugs to help your body to process the carbs.
Avatar f tn Having pre-diabetes allows you, through changing your lifestyle by diet, exercise and losing weight (if you are overweight) to bring down the levels of glucose in your blood stream and avoid or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes. As you have now been defined as being a pre-diabetic, you must have been insulin resistant. Insulin resistance is the precursor to pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes and as weight increases, cells become more resistant to the insulin that the pancreas produces.
