What is a healthy blood sugar reading?

Question

I was diagnoised with diabetes type II, but haven't started any medication yet that my doctor has put me on. Since my diagnoises, I've been cutting out sugars to maybe at most 1 to 5mg a day and the same for carbs. I've dropped from 267 to 250 in two weeks. I eat a healthy lunch which consists of a salad, couple of small portions of meat, lots of veggies and a glass of tea with sweet-n-low. I towards the evening time I have large salad w/tomatoes, celery, carrots, bacon bits (small amount) and oil and vinegar. I'll usually have a 3 egg beater omellet w/diced ham and vegetables for breakfast. After two weeks of eating like this, my glucose has dropped from 230 to and is stabilizing around 104 to 130. My skin seems to be changing and looks and feels smother and I'm zipping in and out of places with lots of energy. I'm I doing this right? Are those acceptable blood sugar ranges that will not hurt my body? i.e. eyes, feet ect

Answer 1

Those blood sugars are fabulous. The big thing is to follow up with your doctor, so that you can be sure your overall sugars are down (by checking the HbA1c, the 3 month avg). If it is OK, then it aoppears that diet and excercise are working great for you. I'll warn you right now though, when you don't take meds like doc says, it gets annoying (although if you can show him that you are improving without the med, it takes the edge off)

It's good that you have reacted to the news of your new medical condition. However, it's a lifelong change that you have gone thru. I too did the same things you're doing at first. But, as time went on I slipped back into my old habits. That was nearly 14 years ago. Now I am on insulin and taking much better care of myself. The changes you have made is excellent and you must maintain them for continued improvement. And that's the trick and the risk. If you fall back to your old ways, then all this effort is lost just as I did. You've go to hang in there for the long haul and every thing you do to fight diabetes is worth it. So, keep you eyes on the long haul and these changes will be around for a long time. Good luck and keep it up.

I'm in Canada so the calculations for blood sugar are a bit different , however, a normal glucose level for alot of people is 3.5 to 6.00

You sound like you're doing everything right, when do you next go back to your doctor?

A note about aspetaines, the diabetic nurses at the Diabetic Education Center weren't crazy about using aspertanes like sweet and low. They've told me Splenda or a small amount of sugar is better for diabetics than aspertanes, but I would check with your diabetic educators or your doc.

Good luck.

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.
