Diabetes what is your level?
please, I need your help. this is serious.

I was in the hospital and they checked my sugar cause I have hypoglycemia, and it came back as 146! I am still feeling like crap, and want to know what the normal is! thanks! ♥

Answer 1

According to the American Diabetes Association, blood glucose ranges for adults with diabetes:

A1C
<7.0%

Preprandial plasma glucose (before a meal)
90–130 mg/dl (5.0–7.2 mmol/l)

Postprandial plasma glucose (after a meal)
<180 mg/dl (<10.0 mmol/l)

Your own ideal levels and treatment would be determined by your doctor. Typically, people say that anything under 70 is hypoglycemic; but actually anything uder your doctor's recommended target is considered hypoglycemic. You can get plenty of information on diabetes and hypoglycemia, and how to treat it at the ADA website ( http://www.diabetes.org ) Hope this helps! Best of luck!

Answer 2

146 is somewhat high. Normal (fasting) should be between 80 and 120. Lower than 70 is hypoglycemic, and above 120 is hyperglycemic. It is not unusual for pre-diabetics (or borderline diabetics) to have fluctuations like this. You would be well advised to learn the diabetic lifestyle and practice it so that you can avoid the medications or insulin injections that come when your blood sugar gets out of control.

Answer 3

My last HbA1c was 6.9. My last blood sugar was 119. What's your question?

New studies are actually putting the range between 60-105. You may be prediabetic as some have mentioned. The best way to try and control this is through diet and exercise. Talk to a doc about options.

Answer 4

Here's some general information about DIABETES--

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and other symptoms. The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy),[1] which have similar signs, symptoms, and consequences, but different causes and population distributions. Type 1 is usually due to autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells which produce insulin. Type 2 is characterized by tissue-wide insulin resistance and varies widely; it sometimes progresses to loss of beta cell function. Gestational diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes, in that it involves insulin resistance; the hormones of pregnancy cause insulin resistance in those women genetically predisposed to developing this condition.
Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyphagia (excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth), and polyuria (excessive urination). Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose (blood sugar). Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.

Hyperglycemia is high blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision


Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Sweating and palpitations
Pale skin
Hunger - to the extreme
Trembling
Irritability
Anxiety/aggression
Poor concentration
Feelings of faintness/dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Death


Normal blood glucose ranges from 70-110. Anything below 70...hypo..anything above 110..hyper.

In the US, about 90% of diabetics are type II and 10% are type I.


And here's what you can do about it--

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Answer 5

a good blood sugar level is 60-120 any thing a little higher than that or on the high end is pre-diabetic and you should see a dr. i hope I helped!!
