elevated blood sugar after surgery

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.

It is also possible to have elevated blood sugar if you fast for a longer than usual period. It is good that your subsequent tests were ok. Anyway, use this as your motivation to stay healthy. Minimize sugar and processed foods, exercise. A regular check of blood sugars every once in a while (and certainly every 6 months) is a good practice so you can monitor yourself over time.

No, unfortunately, they are elevated blood sugars.

You should check two hours after eating for a more reliable indication of diabetes or blood sugar problems, before a meal you should be between 70-99 and two hours after you should be 140 or below.

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.

My blood sugar has recently been elevated. I have no family history of Diabetes. Could this elevation be due to side effects of some of these medications I'm taking?

Oh my! I was just diagnosed with PCOS last week after years of hirsutism (stomach area, neck and very embarrassed to say my chest). I haven't read about anyone having hair on their chest. Does anyone out there have hair on their chest? Anyway, I've had hirsutism since I was 12 and I am now 36. I've seen many endocronologists and they diagnosed the hirsutism as idiopathic because my blood sugar, weight, blood pressure, skin and menstruation were all normal.

i have maintained healthy levels until the last few weeks and find my testing is showing higher than normal levels 3 hours after eating...also waking up with elevated levels in the morning(fasting)...just curious if the tx is exaserbating this or if i am slowing sinking into the type 2 which almost makes no sense as I am now eating for once in my life healthy and appropriately....

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.

While you have shown improvement, your blood sugar is still elevated. Diabetes can often be managed with lifestyle changes, but you want to continue to track your blood sugar to make sure it continues to improve. It is important to remember that elevated blood sugar can cause damage to your kidneys and other organ systems. That is why it is so important to get your levels down.

Since the surgery my sugar levels have been elevated. Now in the morning my levels are 88-95 and two hours after meals its 95-120. Like I said the surgery was two weeks ago, why after the surgery is my sugar on the rise. Up to that point my levels have been pretty stable. My last a1c test was 5.4. If it is the surgery making my sugar elevated how long will it take for it to go back to normal?

How long does it take for blood sugars to go back to normal after getting off solumedrol? This is 4th day without dose and sugars still elevated - still jittery inside, palpitations, irritable, and hungry. I will not take this stuff again. Still have on pain - didn't even work. I've worked too hard to get weight down and blood sugars to mess it up for 3 days of steroids.

said it would not affect blood sugar but I have found that 30-45 min. after taking it my blood sugar drops dramatically - 30 pts. Has anyone else experienced this and what alternatives are there to the lactulose treatment?

All of a sudden this week my blood sugar spiked VERY high - My father passed away this week and I found out I have a blockage in my carotid artery which will require surgery. My blood sugar hit 300 and I have NEVER had it that high. My doctor has upped the dosage of my meds, but I can't explain the hike. The increase in dosage has helped, but it is still quite high for me. Can stress cause hikes like this???? I am hardly eating because of my fear of causing it to go higher.

m fearful of developing diabetes. Is the synthroid causing my blood sugar to rise? If so, how can I keep from developing diabetes? I'm not overweight (5'2", 111 lbs) and have exercised my entire life. Thank you.

Hi, welcome to the forum, such elevated temperatures after bypass surgery is a condition known as hyperthermia, which is common after bypass surgery. For that reason, early post-operative hyperthermia has not been studied much; it appears that heart surgery can cause brain injury in some patients, which makes the brain susceptible to further damage caused by hyperthermia and temperature remains elevated.

m trying to understand why 2 hours after meals my blood sugar is typically between 70 and 90 but nearly every morning after fasting all night it's typically 102-115. I've read about the dawn phenomenon and wonder if this is the cause. Does anyone know how to help control the dawn phenomenon?

My sugar test came back and unfortunately my levels were elevated so now I have to go in the morning for the 3 hour sugar test. Has anyone had to do the 3 hour one?? Is it the same thing besides the wait time?

The only way to know for sure is to have your blood sugar tested. I would recommend speaking with your doctor about your symptoms. If your blood sugar is elevated, you are going to have to make some dietary changes. You could try making them now and start to decrease the amount of carbs in your diet. Instead of the candy bar, you could try a snack high in protein which will not cause your blood sugar to spike and then drop.

My ALT consistently came out higher than normal range, 57 and 73 to be precise with normal range upto 55. My blood sugar of fasting and after breakfast also came out above normal range and I am not diabetic. My question is that can high ALT cause blood sugar to rise?

For diabetics, their body does not respond to the elevated blood glucose adequately. They need to control their blood sugar with changes to diet and exercise and often medication. Do you take any medications for your blood glucose? If you do not understand what changes you need to make, you should speak to your doctor about what is recommended for you specifically. Your doctor may have a sample diet menu or be able to recommend a nutritionist to help you understand the proper diet.

From what ive been reading it concerns your liver, due to toxins, she developed low blood sugar causing seziures, go to iron binding capacity and read what ive been reading. Might be worth your while.

Yes, as I understand it, glycated hemoglobin is the attachment of glucose to hemoglobin, a globular protein molecule. It is a measure of blood sugar levels over about three months time and is elevated when blood sugar has been elevated. I'm looking for information on what levels of blood sugar typically result in glycation. I have not seen my blood sugar go over 127, and I'm wondering what level I should be keeping it under in order to lower my Hgba1c.
