glucose level above 105! what should i do?

Answer 1

Nothing! Normal blood glucose level is 80 to 120 (this is non-fasting).

If you are talking about a different glucose test, you must be more specific.

Answer 2

If you recently have blood drawn for a glucose level test, you should have been instructed not to have ANYTHING to eat (not even gum or a breath mint...some instruct not to brush your teeth prior to testing) for at least six hours and sometimes longer prior to test. The only thing that one should have past midnight for an early morning test is 'pure' water. No sweetened or flavored water...just plain water.

Now, let's say that your actions prior to test did not send it into the high range. Let's say that you did not have anything to eat for at least six hours before the test and the results are still high. It means that your diet has too much 'fat' in it. Fat is often found in meats, processed foods, dairy products, and salad dressings. To improve your glucose level, you dietary habits should change to include more fresh fruits and vegetables (a little dip is actually good for you..we need about 1 tablespoon full of oil or butter per day). Grilled or baked poultry and fresh or moderately processed fish is another good choice to help cleanse your arteries and improve your general well-being.

I always suggest that a test for thyroid be administered at the time of glucose testing because it is just one more vial of blood and it may reveal a condition that affects your metabolism thus may prevent hypothyroidism or reveal hyperthyroidism. It is a good way to determine if another problem exists. Speak with your physician and ask if an additional test for thyroid disease could be added to the glucose series. Same deal...nothing except water before test. The morning breath means that you have followed instructions.

Ask a health care professional what the numbers mean...they can help you by explaining the normal range.

Answer 3

Your BGM (Blood glucose monitor) level is within normal limits. Normal would be 80-120 mg/dl. Even higher is often accepted as normal. As an EMT, I have seen BGM's over 1,100 mg/dl and the person still was acting relatively normal. If you are worried about Diabetes Mellitis, you should see a doctor about having a fasting blood sugar test, urine screen for sugar in the urine, and also a glucose tolerance test. My feeling is that all would be normal. Also BGM's can fluctuate based upon many factors. Food and water intake, improper specimen obtaining procedures, such as having residual alcohol in the blood sample, improper site cleaning after the patient eats something sugary, on and on. By no means am I discouraging you to seek medical care, but I would say this is not an urgent problem

Answer 4

It depends on if that's fasting or random blood glucose. 105 is fine... just diet and exercise... that should take you back down below 100.

If you have a blood glucose of 120 (fasting) you need to be put on medication. Probably glipizide or metformin.

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

Don't fear. Doctors are like vultures just waiting to pounce on this sort of irregularity with medications that keep the numbers down, but cause a hell of alot of side effects.

Take 250 milligrams of alpha lipoic acid (nature's insulin and universal antioxidant) two-three times daily. It has no adverse side effects and is in fact known to prevent the neuropathy that is caused from prolonged high blood sugar.

Take GTF chromium, cinnamon, or a product like "Glycemic Health" by Gaia.

Also, read the "Glycemic Revolution," or "Syndrome X," which will help you to get to the root of the problem by changing your diet.

Answer 7

how high above 105? 106, 150, 500, 1040...
normal now is 60-100
technically, this could mean that you are pre-diabetic and may need a hgb a-1c to be sure...but on the other side...105 is usually considered normal
see your doctor for the blood test (hgb a-1c)

Answer 8

Sounds like you need to opt back in to the blood sugar test. Pregnancy is difficult at best but if you have gestational diabetes it could be dangerous for your baby. Anxiety is not causing your blood sugar to go up. If you refuse to get the diabetes test you need at the least to stop the sugar limit the starches (like oatmeal) and exercise (walk) every day. Don't let your baby suffer because you let your blood sugar get out of control.

Answer 9

105 is fine

Answer 10

105 is not high enough to bring out red flags.
Watch your sugar intake!
