Common Questions and Answers about Chart blood sugar numbers vs a1c numbers
blood-sugar
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.
I am a type II diabetic and I would like to know what is considered a "good" blood sugar reading for me when I test at different times of the day....before meals, after meals, fasting in the morning, at bedtime and other random times during the day.
s easy to confuse them with A1Cs. What type of test was the 7.1? Was that an A1C or a fasting blood sugar. If the latter, yes 7.1 (127.8) fasting is just into the diabetic range. (126) The OGTT is just under the definition of diabetes (200). The 10.8 is 194.4 and makes it pre-diabetic. However the A1C you report 5.6 is under even the pre-diabetes level (starting at 5.7). The A1C is the standard for diagnosis of pre-diabetes and diabetes.
You need to see when your blood sugar peaks, and in future this will be the time you test. It is possible that your blood sugar only reaches it's highest level at 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Testing at 1 hour is not going to give you a representative result.
So, eat a higher carb meal - but something you would typically eat (don't eat fruity pebbles they have absolutely no nutritional value).
Test before the meal (ie.
Ahhh, thanks Barb. I don't know my terms yet. It would be my A1c results. I don't do daily testing, I've just had the two blood tests so far, 4 months apart. I did some searching yesterday, based on my diet, and think it might be the plain Cheerios I eat in the morning (w/blueberries and 1% milk). Lots of people mention spikes in their sugars after eating that cereal, so I'm thinking I'll ditch it. Any other thoughts would be much appreciated.
Found it: 6.2 A1C is an average blood sugar of 131. Your typical blood sugars sound a bit higher than that, so I'm wondering if they have gone up recently and that A1C is older. Again, A1Cs are just an average and lows could skew it. Your daily numbers tell the story and if those are consistent then you want them lower. Doctors, unfortunately, have higher goals because the ADA is behind on what blood sugars should be and that is their guidelines.
com/diabetes/guide/normal-blood-sugar-levels-chart-adults This article has information related to charting of glucose numbers. If you were fasting, I think it's time to have an evaluation by your physician to look into your glucose numbers. If you were not and it was before a meal, then they would be close to normal. so, that info would be helpful for further discussion.
I agree with Sally. Get a meter & check your sugar. Change your diet based on your numbers. Ditch the sugar & detox from sugar it is like a drug. When you detox from sugar you reduce the taste for it but don't return to your bad habits. Get your numbers down, your BMI down (reduce your waist size), lose weight & let dome form of exercise be your norm. If it turns to a diabetic # you will have issues like SF low healing wounds & bruises that take a long time to heal.
By measuring your blood sugar response to different foods (test 2 hours after eating) you can work out which foods elevate blood sugar levels (Keep maximum blood sugar levels less than 140 (7.7), but even better if you can keep it below 100 (5.5).
Exercise can also help you body to respond better to insulin and take up and use sugar in your blood. So a brisk walk for 30 minutes after eating could be helpful...
A blood sugar of 400 is extremely high even immediately after a meal!!!! I would find another doctor immediately!!! I do not understand why you haven't been put on meds already...an Endo as suggested above is a great idea and start reading everything you can about Diabetes...doctors can only teach so much, it is up to you to educate yourself and learn to be an advocate for your own health...please start today!! Good Luck...
Hello everyone. I wanted to ask a question about blood sugar levels. Normally my a1c stays between 4 and 5%. A few weeks ago the doctor said that my a1c is now 6.7%. also my good cholesterol levels are low. My fasting blood sugars range from 140 to 163. 2 hours after eating my blood sugar levels are 183-202. I have never been diagnosed as being a diabetic, but a few years ago my doctor said I was pre-diabetic.
