I know it's nearly impossible to have a readings around 135 because every diabetic has their high and lows. Say by some miracle that this could happen, could a person with readings near there, never getting higher than 135, could a person avoid complications later in life completely or would having diabetes, with very well managed blood sugar, still come back to haunt you? Don't be afraid to give an honest answer. Thanks!

Can it be found on your birth certificate? If not, is there another easy and simple way to figure it out?

I haven't been feeling real well the last couple of weeks so I thought I would check my blood sugar. I had dinner around 7:00pm and I've been checking my blood sugar throughout the night and it's been kind of high. I had gestational diabetes so I know the range. I guess the silly part of this is, is if you don't have diabetes does your blood sugar still rise?

Here are my blood sugar results over the past few hours;
8:10pm- 160
9:00pm- 178
9:20pm- 197
9:50pm- 202

Also, I've had this ache on my left side every time after I eat.

Mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes with marshmallows and brown sugar, hot rolls and pumpkin pie... So how did you do? Were you able to keep your blood sugar in an acceptable range throughout the day?

I know a woman who has had an extremely high blood sugar for 3-4 years (anywhere from 250 - 450) and did not take care of her diabetes. It led to her mental deterioration so much that now she can't do a simple math problem or can't remember or recall anything.
I was curious as to how her untreated diabetes had led to her mental deterioration.

I have been type 2 for the last ten years and taking insulin plus metfo for two years. I take Novorapid with meals and Levemir at night. I have been struggling with hypos since yesterday and don't know why.

I have not had a sudden weight change, have not changed my exercise regime and am not aware of a sudden change in my health. I am not eating less and have not changed what I eat or when I eat so why am I suddenly getting hypos (three in the last 24 hours)?

Last night I ate a normal evening meal (meat, veg, two potatoes, no dessert), halved my normal insulin dose and still went hypo about 9.30pm. This is the same thing as happened the night before when I needed 1 litre orange juice, biscuits, toast and 30g dextrose to stop the hypo and it took 2 hours to get it under control. Fortunately last nice a glass of orange juice and a slice of toast did the trick.

I have asked my consultant about the bad hypo, she said these things happen and didn't know why. But I need to understand it!

After reading these statements taken from reputable websites:

“While moderate amount of alcohol can cause blood sugar to rise, excess alcohol can actually decrease your blood sugar level -- sometimes causing it to drop into dangerous levels.”

“Small Amounts of Alcohol Slightly Increases Risk of Low Blood Sugar in Certain Diabetics.”

Webmd.com

“Hypoglycemia Causes:

Common causes of low blood sugar include the following:

Overmedication with insulin or antidiabetic pills

Use of alcohol”

Emedicine.com

And, finally, the American Diabetes Association says:

“This is why drinking as little as 2 ounces of alcohol (about 2 drinks) on an empty stomach can lead to very low blood sugar.”

My step-son is a brittle diabetic. He has to be really careful about what he eats.

It shows on the report that 60 - 109 to be the "normal range". Then states mine is "abnormal" and may be of concern.

To adjust the dose of insulin based on blood sugar level, need simple calculations / table

I was just diagnosed with TypeII Diabetes. I test my blood sugar 4 times a day and most of the time it falls into range (<100 in the morning, <140 2 hr. after meal, <110 before bedtime). The highest I have seen was 210, but that is not common.

I never had vision problems before. I just started taking Metformin a month ago taking 1 a day. About 2 weeks ago I started taking it 2 times a day and almost immediately I started to get blurry vision and a brown dot in the center of my sight. When reading I feel like I am crossed eyed a little. I stopped taking Metformin 3 days ago and the problem didn't go away.

I will be talking to the doctor soon. But I just want to know... does any body have any useful information or experienced something similar? Should my vision correct itself or is it permanent?

Thanks in advance!
