10.1 blood sugar should i worry?

Answer 1

I am a diabetic and I believe what you mean is 10.1 A1C.
An A1C is the blood work your dr. has you do for him in the lab.( however I think some brand new monitors will give it to you now.)
It gives you a blood sugar average over a 3 mo. period of time.

A diabetics ideal A1C should be below 7.0. 10.1 is pretty high, but didn't your dr. tell you that? I hope you are seeing a dr. regularly. Diabetes is not something to mess with. You should be seeing your dr. twice a yr. at LEAST.
A 10.1 can be brought down with help of medication, and proper diet.
My friends used to be 11.3 and hers is 6.1 now.
Call your dr. :)

My God, there is some rubbish written here by supposedly knowledgeable people. No, you will not be in a diabetic coma with a blood sugar level of 10.1. You do not state the units you are using, but I am assuming, because this is a UK & Ireland site, you are measuring it in mmols/ltr. Normal is between 6 and 7. You will go into a diabetic coma with low sugars, typically 1 or 2 mmols/lt. This is hypoglycemia. Both my brother, who is Type I, and myself, I am Type II, occasionally have sugar levels as high as 16 or 17. It is not good for a long term prognosis, but neither of us have ever collapsed because of it. Would suggest you have a word with your GP and get them to do a HB1C test to give an overall view of your sugar levels. This will tell you whether you are diabetic or not. A single, one off, finger prick check will not tell you. The odd high is not dangerous.

If you are in UK go with Modeller's answer as this is correct. I had a Glucose Tolerance test arranged by my doctor that gave me a 10.9 blood glucose count - the GTT is where you have a blood test after fasting for 12 hours, then you are given a glucose drink and your blood is taken again after 2 hours to see what the difference is between your fasting blood glucose level and then after the 2 hours (giving your body time to absorb the glucose from the drink (and hopefully convert most of the glucose into energy rather than it staying in your blood and doing damage). There are differences in how blood glucose levels are measured between different countries - in the UK it is measured in mmols. A blood glucose monitor can be obtained relatively cheaply from a chemist if you want to keep an eye on your blood glucose levels over a period of time but if this is a one off result of 10.1 for you, I would not worry unduly - especially as you may have been over indulging recently because of Christmas and the new Year. If you continue to be worried give NHS Direct a call on 0845 4647.

Answer 5

OK, you're using a Canadian scale, right? If you're using a One Touch Ultra glucometer that was sold in Canada, you will be using a Candian scale and you can't reprogram it to a US scale. I don't know offhand if this is true of other glucometers.

In that scale, a good pre-meal range is 4.0 - 7.0, while a good 2-hr after meal range is 5.0 - 10.0.

So, at 10.1 you are just barely over that range. If this is a once in a while after-meal reading, well, you could be better at your food choices, but I wouldn't really worry about it.

If, however, this is a pre-meal number or is a normal, for you, after-meal number, then you need to be in better control of you blood sugars. If that is the case, see your gp ASAP, and arrange as well to be referred to both an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes and a registered dietician who is also a Certified Diabetes Educator.

I'm pretty sure you're speaking of a Hemoglobin A1-C test, not a "regular" glucose reading. This reading is suppose to be under 7.0 and, yes, you should be worried. A reading of 10.1 indicates that your normal levels for the last 3 months are running around 200. You can watch your diet more carefully; go light on the carbs and switch to whole wheat pasta and bread. If you're eating something other than what you're suppose to be eating, get back on your diabetic diet. Exercise will lower your levels also; walking today will help your glucose level tomorrow. AND...of course...see your doctor and ask him if your medication should be adjusted. Godloveya.

Well I am guessing you may have read the meter wrong-or you are mistaken for the A1C testing which is collaborative data over
a 3 month time showing how tightly you allow your blood sugar to
run. Let's call that the fudge factor because this test allows a
MD to ascertain your actual data of blood glucose for that period of time with no misgiving-no doubt of your glucose readings. With the test and all of its validity-the MD can initiate different
regimens with that patient -all in order to help keep the glucose
at a more constant level. Every patient is different. But I suggest
you recheck your blood glucose and make sure your machine
is optimal and clean of any debris or blood which could alter the results. Also each machine is given a control solution - I strongly
suggest giving your control solution a try and checking your strips (making sure they are not out of date). In all honesty, if your blood sugar were 10 -you would not be able to write a note or talk or speak- you would be pretty much in a diabetic coma.

Answer 8

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.

Fasting blood sugar of 105 mg/dL in a doctor's office is in pre-diabetic range. Your blood sugar is probably lower during the day, after meals, because of Dawn Phenomenon. Your liver produces glucose in the morning hours. Diabetics don't have enough accessible insulin to bring blood sugar down to normal. What's more, 101 mg/dL and 105 mg/dL are essentially the same reading because they are within the meter's margin of error.
