diabetes glucose log

Use your home meter to test your glucose levels. If you're having memory issues start a log - date/time/dose - so you have something to reference in the future.

That would be considered AFTER a meal, or postprandial, as WR stated. I think you're getting hung up on the fact that 2-3 hours AFTER one meal may be BEFORE the next meal. Only concentrate on one meal at a time. How often are you checking your blood sugar at home? Be sure to closely follow the instructions of your doc, don't just choose your own times. Also, be sure to keep a journal of your results. Most glucose meters come with a log book.

ask the doctor for a referral to an Endocrinologist (diabetes specialist). I also suggest you start monitoring and keeping a log of foods you consume. Log what you eat, how much you eat and how you feel directly after, 1 hour, 2 and 3 hours later. Do this for every meal, including snacks. Present this log to the endo.

Insulin= Mixard (30/70) - dosage- morning 40 and evening 25.along with Glucophage 1000 mg one each morning and evening.

Diabetes Solutions by DR. Richard Beirstein , and log onto this website: diabetesdaily.com/forum to listen and learn from those long time diabetic 2 like you discussions. To save yourself, you have to search the internet , to learn and live myfriend, I myself a 20 years plus diabetic 2, now I don't have any leg pain at night , as my A1C keep coming down to 5.6%. and I never need to use Insulin. I use Dr. Beirstein rule:(6,12,12). Again read that book and start living again.

I would recommend that you resume checking your blood glucose. Keep a log of your blood sugar and your diet. If you notice your sugar spiking and your symptoms returning with certain foods then you have your answer. If you resume controlling your diet and feel better, then you also have an answer. Gestational diabetes does usually resolve after the birth of the baby, however, this is not usually immediate. The symptoms can persist for a period of time. Good luck.

For instance, an A1c of 6% corresponds to an average glucose of 135 mg/dL (7.5 mmol/L), while an A1c of 9% corresponds to an average glucose of 240 mg/dL (13.5 mmol/L). The closer a diabetic can keep their A1c to 6%, the better their diabetes is in control. As the A1c increases, so does the risk of complications.

This is NOT a fasting glucose. My dad is diabetic and he has all of the tools to test blood. He has regular diabetes not Type 2 but it usually skips a generation. I had blood taken at the doctor last week, again, not fasting, for other health problems and it came back at 169. My doc obviously wants to retest me when I've been fasting and get an A1c.

9% equates to an 123 mg/dl glucose level. Diabetes starts at 126 mg/dl. Your doctor is correct, lose the gut and you have a great chance of reversing yourself back to normal levels. Good luck.

Doctors may prescribe oral medicines (those taken by mouth), insulin, or a combination of both, as needed. People with type 2 diabetes may not need to take diabetes medications if they can reach glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol goals through meal planning, eating the right foods, and physical activity. Drugs. Understand your diabetes medication. Understand the side effects and interactions, if any, with any medication or supplement that you may be taking.

hello doctor...my glucose level is 217 and fasting sugar level is 112...so may i know if my condition is too severe or mild in terms of diabetes??? plz let me know my condition....thank u...

Hello All been feeling out of sorts, started seeing a new (better) doctor and per suggestions from others bought myself a glucose meter online to check my levels. Back on 6/5 in office blood tests showed non fasting Glucose levels at 56 (range 65-99), lab results from 6/26 Hemoglobin A1c 5.5 (range 4.8-5.6).

I an 24 weeks and 3 days. I failed my first glucose test and now i did the three hire one and Dr just called and said i failed it too. Now I'm having to go to get my blood drawn twice a week and they put me on a diet where i can barely eat anything. Is there anyone else that is going through this or had it I the past? If so how long did you have to get the twice a week blood draws and did diet alone help or did they give you pills or insulin shots.

When they occur in people who have what appears to be type 2 diabetes, it may indicate Latent-onset Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood (LADA aka Type 1.5 diabetes). See this LADA explanation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_autoimmune_diabetes Also these discussions on LADA http://tinyurl.com/diabetes-lada Are you seeing an Endocrinologist, a diabetes specialist? LADA is relatively new where many doctors do not recognize nor fully understand how to treat it.

Hi all, i have impared glucose tolerance, if i asked for a A1c test to determine the average glucose level in my blood and it came back at 6, 7 or 8% would this confirm i have diabetes?

2) and he thinks I am a diabetic and that would explain why I need to urinate so often, he said further tests are needed to confirm diabetes, in the meantime he gave me a sugar testing kit and told me to keep a log and after reviewing it he will prescribe some meds. (also told me that I should try to loose some weight and exercises more) I am on a diet since (no white bread, junk food, colored soda, etc) and walk everyday for 30 minutes.

Ugh! This morning my doctor called me to let me know that my Glucose test came up high....He said the would like to see it under 140 and mine was 170...I was so bummed. I was hoping it was cause i ate before the test but the doctor told me too. He said I could have breakfast like two eggs and so i did maybe that made my test high.....Now I have to make an appt. for the 3hour glucose test.....I hope I don't have gestational diabetes that scares me....

When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I went through several medications before I found 1 that fit me - I am a non insulin dependent diabetic .

I have been monitoring my glucose levels for a few days now and was wondering when to go to my doctor. A little history. I am high risk for type II based on family history, two pregnancies with gestational diabetes and I am about 50 lbs overweight. I was also diagnosed with hypoglycemia at 16 (I'm now 32) On Monday I was feeling foggy, trembly and weak so I decided to check my glucose to see how low I was. I was actually at 187.

1. Go for a walk after eating to help burn off excess glucose. 2. Do some sort of moderate exercise daily or at least 3-5 times a week. Weight: 1. You’d be surprised how much lower your glucose will be if you shed those EXTRA pounds. It’s all up to your father to start practicing a better lifestyle control to improve and maintain good health. It may be difficult for him to see this if he's at the age of being stubborn and not wanting change in his life.

Continue to monitor your blood glucose and keep a log. I would instruct my patients to avoid their diabetes medication if they are consistently having blood sugars <70. Also keep something sweet on hand in case you become hypoglycemic (small amount of cake frosting, a small candy, juice). Very Respectfully, Dr.

s important and should be your everyday guideline - Eat well balanced meals in the correct amounts, along with moderate exercise (like walking) and weight control, you can keep your blood glucose level as close to normal (non-diabetes level) as possible. Small meals throughout the day are better than three huge meals. Your body will better handle the smaller amounts. Foods: Stay away from foods containing sugar and bad carbs. Google bad carbs for a list no-no foods.

I'm not sure if I should be posting this in the diabetes section, I have type 2 diabetes for the past 6 months or so. because im not sure whats going on with me, and its starting to worry me. I feel physically 100% fine, BUT about 3 weeks ago i was working at school and i remember the exact time because i looked at the clock when it happened.
