Answer 1

I would say that , is within the normal diabetic range!
6------ 10 for an after breakfast rate is fine
(if you take the test before breakfast, you will find your sugar levels are lower )

As you are a bit worried by this,
you should consult ,your doctor or diabetic nurse. and talk this over with them . I am sure they will reasure you on this .

good luck

Here you can find a very effective natural treatment for diabetes: http://diabete-cure.gelaf.info

Diabetes can be "reversed" or go into "remission". I believe that what that is is decreasing the need to take medications. A person who has diabetes will always have it... but there are cases where a type 2 can either reduce medications or even eliminate them... but will still need to watch diet, get plenty of exercise and keep their weight down. This is called management and control. However, that does not mean that there will never be one. Research has taken huge advances and the more scientists learn about it, the higher likelihood that a cure might come about someday.
While I did recently read an article that stated gastric lap band or gastric bypass MAY be a potential cure, more research is needed and even if this one day is a cure, it would only be effective on type 2s who are obese since neither of those procedures are performed on people who are of normal weight or body mass. Stem cell transplants are still highly controversial and most likely, have a long way to go before it is approved as a diabetes cure by the FDA. Since the vast majority of diabetics are type 2 (roughly 90%), those of us who are type 1 seem to get lost in the shuffle. EMT type 1 for more years than I care to remember, use a pump. Let me add that when I mean diabetes can be controlled and managed without medication but with diet, exercise and weight control, I'm referring to type 2. This is not an option for type 1s, who must take insulin, either by injections or a pump, to survive.

Answer 4

Hi,

Did you develop diabetes during pregnancy? Are you using an insulin pump or injections? Personally, if my blood sugars were 8.9 an hour after breakfast I'd be very happy with that, but I'm not pregnant. When you eat carbohydrates (eg. breakfast) your blood sugar increases, and insulin decreases it. Right after you've eaten your blood sugar increases while the insulin is working to reduce it. For someone without diabetes, it'll rise a bit, but if you have diabetes this is likely to be a lot higher. Normal range for blood sugars is between about 4-7 (different drs will tell you different things, but that's about average) - for someone with diabetes we try to keep our blood sugars between 4-9. I know you have to have very tight control when you're pregnant so you'll need to ask your dr if 8.9 is ok or not, but I wouldn't think it'd be anything to worry about too much. You really need to check with your dr though - it's not worth taking a risk over.

Hope that helps xx

Answer 5

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/rRaPg

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 6

The levels are like that an hr after breakfast because your body's insulin is just starting to break down the sugar & carbohydrates you have eaten.
Your levels are fine however if you are worried go see your doctor who can explain in better detail.
You sound fine to me levels are usually higher when pregnant

Answer 7

After a 12 hour fast, a range of 3.9 to 6.5 mmol/l (70.2 to 117 mg/dl) is normal. (a level of 6.7 to 7 mmol/l (120.6 to 126 mg/dl) is considered a sign of prediabetes). Your fastng blood sugar is 5.6 mmol/L (100.8 mg/dL) which is normal.
A level of < 10 mmol/l (180 mg/dl) 90 minutes after a meal is normal. Your blood sugar level 60 minutes after breakfast is 8.9 mmol/L (160.2 mg/dL) which is also normal.
If your fasting blood sugar is 8.9 mmol/L(160.2 mg/dL) then you are suffering from Gestational diabetes. You should consult the doctor. If you have got Reactive Hypoglycemia, then the blood sugar level will fall within 4 hours after you eat a meal.
Please see the webpages for more details on Glucose test, Hypoglycemia and Gestational diabetes.

Answer 8

These do it self kits are a good idea, but they can make you worry an awful lot. The best thing to do if you are worried about this is see you GP and see what he says. Yahoo Answers is fab but we're not doctors, so for the peace of mind, go see someone and find out for sure.

Answer 9

Even at two hours the sugar may not have returned completely to normal.

Answer 10

The standard time to test is 2 hours after you eat.
