Blood sugar going wacky, could someone help? Has this happened to anyone else? (please read details)?

Question

My blood sugar is giving me trouble. The dr's say I'm not diabetic but I have been checking sugar daily.
When I eat even 1 bite of a cookie I get severe headache, I stay away from pop, sweets etc.
After eating a meal feel like passing out, it get almost impossible to stay awake.
Was told to test 2 hrs after eating, but always normal range then.
Started checking 20 min after eating, and every 20 min up to I hr which is my peak (as far as I can tell) By 1hr 15min sugar drops. Sometimes this goes faster, but this is the average.
My sugar levels have been...
FASTING 12 hrs, after eating carbs the night before it's around low 60's. FASTING after eating meat the night before high 70's-80's.
Tonight ate tuna cheese caserole, sugar 174 within 1/2 hr after eating, 140 in 45min, and 120 in 1hr.
Night before burgers and hashbrowns, 25min 143, 1hr 185, 1&1/2 hrs 175.
How could the sugar go so low and then jump that high?
What could be wrong?
Dr's say tests they do are ok. (help)

Answer 1

Blood sugars often fall after eating sugar - it will spike up then dramatically fall. It sounds like you have low sugars going on which is usually what happens to people before they become diabetic. After being low for several years people often become diabetic. Also it depends on what you eat - breads, potatoes, etc. that will get into the blood stream and stay longer. Often blood sugars today reflect what was eaten the day before. Keep a log of what was ate, when, how much and fsbs for a couple of weeks and you will probably see a pattern. To avoid low blood sugars at night you could make a half of pb sand. Hope this helps.

It seems like it is the facility that is doing the blood test. Some use 110 or 110 or 120mg/dl as high normal. What does your doctor say? You don't say if you are taking any medication of any sort. Some over the counter meds will also make your blood sugar run a little high. If you have had an infection lately. If you have taken any steroids recently. Even if these meds were taken a day or so ago, they may have a residual in the blood stream. Are you taking any herbals? As you can see, so many things can have an eftect on the blood sugar. You are right, heritity does play a factor as well as your weight, and your diet.

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.

Answer 5

It's the consumed sugar that's making your blood sugar rise. Your Doctors say you don't have Diabetes? I think they ought to go back to school. You need to go to a Doctor who specializes in Diabetic Management. When you include sugar in your Diet, how much sugar are you using? Any amount is going to effect your Blood Sugar, but 2 Cokes and 3 Brownies for Desert are really going to make it rise. Stay off sugar and have your Doctor, New Diabetic Dr. Test you for Diabetes and get the problem resolved. Don't kid yourself it's what you don't do that will cause complications down the road.
Good Luck&Good Health

Answer 6

You could have low blood sugar. I have just been diagnoses as diabetic but have had low blood sugar my whold life. I would get terrible head aches and sick to my stomach.
There is a normal flucuation in blood sugar for everyone. try eatting 6 smaller meals or 3 larger and 3 snacks per day.
Stay under 180 grams of carbs perday.
My doc suggested breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 45 carbs each and between breakfast, dinner, and before bed, 15 carbs each. This way you can keep your sugars more even and have less flucuations. hope it helps.

FOOD ALLERGIES!

if you get symptoms from one bite--that is too quick for the sugar to have metablized and affected you. Instead your system is reacting to an allergen.

you need to see a ***homeopathic*** doctor! they look at the totality of your symptoms, your dr. is focusing narrowly on one issue.

the part where you feel like passing out is from an allergic reaction. Look into neurally mediated hypotension- NMH. Although NMH used to be associated with other things, it has now also been included in food allergy symptoms.
The symptoms of NMH usually disappear before the "2 hours after eating", so if your dr. is rigidly focusing on blood sugar, s/he will not think about the requirements for testing other things

also look into adrenal fatigue--food allergies will stress out your adrenals. Your adrenal glands control when your body cuts off the insulin supply.
First you eat, your body puts out insulin to deal with the sugar/carbs. Then your adrenals signal the body to STOP the flow of insulin at some point. People with adrenal fatigue syndrome can get to the point where the adrenals do not send the stop signal soon enough and the body gets too much insulin.

I know of someone who sporadically gets low blood sugar immediately *after* eating. Which makes no sense unless too much insulin was sent out--more than necessary to cope with the sugars in that meal. The sporadical part depends on how many allergic reactions you've had recently--therefore how taxed your adrenals are.

anyway--start a journal of what you eat and when you get symptoms. Food allergies can manifest as dizzyness, tiredness, headaches, arthritis or a general feeling of stiffness, rashes, a suddenly hot and/or slightly swollen tongue, mouth or nose and breath

Answer 8

central and labl are on the right track and have to agree with them. Get a AH1c blood test done. I have one type1 son and a 2 yr and 11 yr old pre diabetes and go to get all the testing done next week and are on carb intake and cal diet for now. My 11 yr old drops fast also where the meter reads low. But i am praying that theres is from the steroids from being hospitalized with ammonia both of them but my 15 yr old has had type1 since he was 9. Best of luck and get ketostix to check for ketones in your urine there over the counter in diabetic section. God Bless and good luck

Answer 9

This does sound like hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.

You need to question, question, question your doctor. DO NOT give up. One doctor does not know everything. See an endocrinologist. This specialist can test your insulin levels as well as your blood glucose and other hormones.

You are not a hypochondriac as some would suggest. You have a real issue and you need to do everything you can to find the answer.

God bless.
