Diabetes? or not?

Question

I was type (1)(gestational) when pregnant. My daughter is 2 yrs old now. It runs in my family. mom, brother, father have it. I was wondering if I ate at 6 pm , it's now 7:15 and i just took my blood test( 138). do i wait one hour or two after my meal to get the correct results? when i was pregnant it was one hour after meals.thanks

SHOULD I TAKE THE TEST 1 HOUR, OR 2 HOURS AFTER MEALS.

Answer 1

You've presented a bit of a challenge, but I think I may have found what you're looking for. Actually, gestational is type III. Type I is child onset where the pancreas doesn't work. I'm a type II (adult onset). 138 about an hour after eating is not considered diabetic. If it was that high at bedtime, then you might have cause for concern. If it was that high the next morning, you would be considered diabetic. The link below to endocrineweb.com is very informative in this regard. If you become diabetic or know someone who is, this information I've gathered will help a lot....

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". 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. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. 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:

Answer 4

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.

138 is a normal random blood glucose level. I would say probably not but it is in your best interest to discuss your concern with your doctor. He can draw a hgbA1C (hemoglobin a 1 c). It is a blood test and the results, shown in a percentage, is an average of blood glucose control over a period of 3 months. If this is normal then no you do not, but you are still predisposed to developing it. So take care of your health and research ways to prevent developing diabetes.
