1080243 tn?1262975363 High blood sugar, if this is what your husband has, ARE a sign of diabetes. They are usually not a sign of anything else (unless someone is sick or on steroids, in which case levels can be temporarily high). Initially they can be the only obvious sign, which is why it is so important that people have diabetes screening at their annual checkups. Your husband should be looking into this with his doctor further and taking appropriate steps to manage it.
Avatar f tn That would be what would tell you how concerned you should be with your blood sugar number. What the doctor is watching whether you need some form of insulin to keep your sugar to a acceptable level.
Avatar n tn Your higher end of your sugar readings are concerning and would in my opinion move you up in terms of care you need. If they stay up at 240, I'd even consider going the emergency route. Not to alarm you. But your health is of utmost important here. Another way to move around waiting is to call your ob and relay your numbers (the higher end). Are you on medication?
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn m to inform her if 3 of my blood sugar readings fasting are higher than 130 and if 3 blood sugar readings 2 hrs. after eating are higher than 180. So, that sounds normal for us type 2 diabetics. If you were to take another pill, it would go to low, IMO. Hope this helps you!
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.
Avatar m tn Check if it can raise your blood sugar levels. Some high blood pressure medicine can raise the sugar levels. Know your body. It is the inly one you will have.
Avatar n tn After I gave him something really sweet to drink about 45 minutes later he was ready to eat. So do we have a problem with low sugar or high sugar? Is this something to worry about? He cant't talk so he can't tell us how he feels. My husband won't have insurance until the end of April. So were kinda stuck at the moment with being able to get anyone to help us. We were also told that since his seizures last that long we should really be worrying about brain deteriation.
Avatar f tn Most people do not consider blood sugar to be low and in need of treatment unless it is under 70 or even under 60. However, if your blood sugar has been high for awhile than numbers that are not technically hypos can feel like they are. If you have diarrhea since last Thursday and not able to eat (regardless of your need to lose weight) you should check with your doctor as you can become dehydrated.
Avatar f tn Diabetics who have had a very high blood sugar for a long time can tolerate such high readings. Or people who drink alcohol on a regular basis because alcohol helps to lower blood sugar. A glucometer can only measure up to 500. Anything above that will register as "High".

Avatar m tn Hi, This level of BP is high enough to be taken seriously, past readings are of no significance.Some times you may find such high readings if you were under stress when the readings were taken,and may become normal afterwards. So, you need to confirm it with one more measurement and if it is normal, immediate treatment is not called for, but you should still keep monitoring the pressure more often to ensure that you do not have a fluctuating BP.
Avatar n tn ), and high blood pressure. He is not overweight (105 lbs). He has 1 or 2 high blood sugar readings a month. Nothing over 300. His Dr. is having a difficult time with this. She keeps sending him for blood tests, and has not been able to tell me what might be going on. Any ideas?
246464 tn?1249452147 Also suggest you carry glucose tablets or hard candies [not sugar free] with you in case a crash occurs. Eat one to elevate your blood sugar rapidly. Dropping below 60 is dangerous, down to 34 is life threatening.
446335 tn?1223948356 It is to my understanding that every 7 grams of sugar labeled on a package is equal to one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar. So much of what we eat contains sugar. Being able to find a product low in sugar isn't easy for its time consuming to read each and every label for its sugar content. Its your body and your health. How much time you want to put into it to live longer is your call.
Avatar m tn High sugars in the am mean you were eating high sugar in the pm prior night. Usually when diagnosed with Diabetes, docs want you to schedule with a Diabetic Nutritionist. Very surprised if you haven't done this yet. 1000mg 2x daily isn't surprising. Def include exercise after a few weeks getting your food intake under better control. Sugar comes in many forms so be careful. You really want to get your sugars and other medical matters under xontrol.
