High glucose levels in the morning
Common Questions and Answers about High glucose levels in the morning
glucose
As other causes such as stress ,exercises and a recent meal intake may cause increase levels of glucose in the urine. This may be true in isolated cases.
An initial work up may be necessary just to check blood glucose levels. Your BUN and Creatinine levels may also be checked to get a baseline evaluation of renal function.
I found out a little more information. The ER physician said that the infection was likely the cause of the glucose levels being high. I guess my grandmother's primary care physician didn't believe my grandmother had diabetes based on prior tests. For some reason, she disregarded the lab results sent to the nephrologist.
It sounds as if you have a glucometer since you said you have checked his glucose levels. Do you know what is considered "normal" in glucose readings? Glucose levels for non-diabetics and for diabetic people go up and down all day long. Most doctors don't consider glucose levels to be too low unless they drop below 70, but a person can start to feel a little bit bad if in the low 70's, so this might explain why your son didn't feel like eating when his sugar was at 73.
I can understand your frustration especially since you're doing all the right things to control your glucose levels. You may wish to have your pancreas checked to see why its not producing the needed insulin. If your pancreas checks out OK, the next gland to check is your thyroid. Thyroid disorders have been known to disrupt the pancreas. From there its your immune system.
Good luck.
s perspective (I am not a doctor) would be to see what the pattern is. Are you running high just in the morning? Are you running even higher after meals or do the numbers stay fairly steady? Are you dropping low at any point during the day? Those kinds of things are important for your doctor to know before deciding how to help you. We do wish you the best and we wish you a healthy and beautiful baby.
I checked again this morning and it was 112 which it’s never been that high.
Average fasting sugar level in the morning : 125 mg/dl (varies from 120 to 129)
Average sugar level after two hours of breakfast (After taking Metformin): 120mg/dl
Average sugar level after two hours of lunch : 150 mg/dl
Problem: 1) There is weight loss of about 6 Kgs in the past 2 years. My weight of 56 Kgs became 50 kgs now.

2) Morning sugar level is as high as 125 mg/dl average.
In my 36 years with diabetes, I have noticed that sometimes I can FEEL the drop in glucose before my glucose levels get below normal. The symptoms that you describe can happen even when the actual number is normal at the time. In my case, when this happens it ALWAYS means that my glucose is on the way down towards hypoglycemia even if when i test it, my glucose is normal. If I test again in a half hour (and do not eat or drink any carbohydrates), the glucose will be low.
It depends on the person. I am in the low 70's after fasting, and around 100 at night. I have been shooting up to 300 from caffeine. I've found you can't believe people who give stern yes or no answers to situations pertaining to glucose. Every person and situation is so different. It's frustrating when people give such definite answers (especially those who don't have diabetes).
is commonly associated with two conditions. Spinal stenosis and diabetes. With abnormal blood sugar levels in the morning the osmolality of tisues are affected, which causes fluid to exert pressure on nerves, causing numbness. After breakfast, as the sugar levels improves, the pressure relaxes and the numbness disappears. Thus, the first tests to take with "morning numbness" (assuming it is not positional are blood glucose and an hbcA1c.
In the morning, I feel shaky and dizzy...
It makes a BIG difference when you test your blood sugar [glucose]. Not knowing your country of residence, the following are testing times with US measurement units. The UK and other countries, like Canada, require conversion from mg/dl to mmol/l.
● Fasting - first thing in morning before eating or drinking anything except water.
The last possibility that I have heard about from other type 2 diabetics is that sometimes if glucose levels have been left untreated and high for a long time, the person can feel pretty crummy for the first few weeks after starting medicines to lower the glucose levels, for the body has gotten used to the elevated glucose levels as being the "norm." It can take some time for you to feel OK as your body adjusts to new glucose levels as being normal again.
The oral glucose tolerance test is conducted by measuring blood glucose levels five times over a period of 3 hours. In a person without diabetes, the glucose levels in the blood rise following drinking the glucose drink, but then then fall quickly back to normal (because insulin is produced in response to the glucose, and the insulin has a normal effect of lowing blood glucose.
