Blood Glucose Test of 75?

Question

I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Many women who have this also have Diabetes or are Insulin Resistant. One of the many tests used to diagnose PCOS is to test whether or not we are diabetic or insulin resistant. My blood glucose level was 75. One doctor told me it was in the normal range (which is still possible for having PCOS, not all women with it have diabetes or IR). Another told me I was IR. An acquaintance I know who does medical transcriptioning said I was IR form what she's read while transcribing. Can you tell me which is true?

Answer 1

Actually, many doctors want your BG leve to stay between about 80 to 120. But everyone is different so people don't aways react the same way to the same vaues. My mother always got the shakes if she dropped below 100, while I am comfortable at about 85. Any lower and I go into a tailspin! So, your level is actually good. An IR diagnosis may have been made because of a combination of factors, not just your BG levels. But, PLEASE don't go by this one number alone and don't let your friend, who is not a doctor, give you a diagnosis. If you want to know for sure your primary care physician cab run an A1C blood test to determine what your blood sugars have been, on average, during the last 3 months. The ideal level is about 7.0 on that test, but my doctor told me that realistically he expects about a 7.5 from most of his diabetics if they are under control. The other test is a glucose tolerance test, which is disgusting and used to be the way they made diagnoses, and sometimes still do. My father and I were both diagnosed initially through the A1C. Mine was followed up with a blood test to measure the pacreatic enzyme associated with type 1. There is a great deal of info out there, but use caution. Try to stick with official websites and publications. For example, the American Diabetes Association has info on diabetes and IR and they usually pretty reliable. They also have some really good publications that you can purchase.

The best thing to do would be to make an appointment to see and endocrinologist. Was you glucose level 75 after eating or was that a fasting blood glucose level? An hour after eating your blood glucose should be no higher than 110. I don't know whether you are IR or not, but like I said a good way to find out would be to see an endocrinologist. Good Luck.

Answer 5

A simple blood glucose test alone cannout determine if you are diabetic or insulin-resistant, as many variables can affect a random blood glucose level. You really should have a Glucose Tolerance Test and/or Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), to help determine if you are either diabetic or insulin-resistant. Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Being insulin resistant will raise your fasting blood glucose to well over 120, typically, because your body isn't getting the glucose into the cells, so glucose builds up. So the body responds by producing more insulin... hence the name. Some call it pre-diabetic, others call it borderline diabetic, and most of us, in the know, simply call it diabetic. If your blood glucose is any indication, you are far from being IR.

Answer 7

Normal blood glucose ranges from 70-110. Anything below 70...hypo..anything above 110..hyper.
A range of 4 to 7 mmol/l (72 to 126 mg/dl) before a meal is normal.
A level of < 10 mmol/l (180 mg/dl) 90 minutes after a meal is normal.
A range of 7 to 8 mmol/l (126 to 144 mg/dl) at bedtime is normal.

Answer 8

Actually one glucose reading isn't enough to diagnose the type of IR you have. If you have PCOS you probably do have a form of IR. The number you are sharing is low IMHO and sounds like hypoglycemia but I am not a doctor. What other symptoms do you have besides the PCOS. How do you feel after a meal? How do you feel after going for a long period of time without eating?

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
