As a nursing student and mother of a diabetic I said Wow what a question with some inaccurate answers hope you are not even more confused. The American Diabetes Association has tons of info on the internet. You should be conserned by a 176 number because the numbers have been changed to a max of 120. A doctor who specializes in diabetes is called a endrocronologist that is who you need to see they will repeat the test and if say you were high because of high fat meal night before they will know it was a fluke, I get tested every year and have changed my diet with a diatician because I had Diabetes while pregnant doctor says I can prevent onset with diet and exercise and my new life style so far so good. Also there is a study going on that test your blood for the antibodies that cause diabetes and it is free. Type 2 diabetics go undiagnosed because their body still makes insulin so they do not see all the symptoms. If you feel you urinate a lot, are always thirsty, shake, feel lightheaded or hungry, suffer frequent headaches or just feel run down like you got the flu. Since you have family risk keep up the good work and watch yourself like you have see the doctor even if it is just for peace of mind. Good luck

Hi shygirl,
Read this, it helps. You are a good candidate to control or eliminate diabetes altogether with good diet and exercise. Learn more:
For type I and type II diabetics.
I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. I'm a type II, but it helps both types, especially us type IIs. It's by an author who has really done his homework. I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day.
It explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically supplements and
exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorbtion? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides, too. This is according to the USDA.
For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, was. Now that everything's under control I'm able to have nearly
normal sex again.

I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

176 is VERY high for a fasting test! My doc doesn't want to see anything over 95 fasting and nothing over 120 2 hours postprandial (after eating). Get a referral to an endocrinologist!
Best wishes!

The sugar level is high.
This needs to be controlled with an adequate diet regime, in which a lot of fibre is included. Try carrots,whole wheat products, fruits and vegetables.
If you are looking for health the herbal way, try foreverliving products aloe vera gel 60ml three times a day.You also need chromium, which helps regulate sugar levels in the blood.This should be chromium Picolinate, which converts the carbo hydrates ,fats,and some protines into sugar and later on into energy.
For further information, contact me.

That is high for someone without diabetes. Normal blood sugar should be 80-120. My son has type1 and he is supposed to keep his levels between 80-180. If you are worried you should see an endocrinologist, regular doctors don't always treat type2 aggressively enough.
