im a diabetic, my blood sugar is 7.2 today is that very high?

Answer 1

Your blood sugar is still within the acceptable ranges, especially if you took your reading after a meal.

A healthy person’s blood sugar levels usually maintain themselves throughout the day between the rates of 4 mmol/l and 8 mmol/l. The levels are often heightened after eating meals and at their lowest points when first waking up in the morning.

Answer 2

No - don't worry, that's normal for someone with diabetes. I expect that you are having regular check ups with a dr anyway? Your dr can measure a long term blood sugar level called an HbA1c test and if this is high then they will look at adjusting your medication, but 7.2 is actually at the high end of normal for someone without diabetes so you're ok :)

Please don't worry when you see answers here saying if your blood sugar is that low you should be dead or anything similar! We get that a lot on this site as people from other countries can answer and in some countries they use different units from us to mearsure with so they will tell you your blood sugar should be above 70 - don't worry about them - your blood sugar is ok!
Hope that helps xx

Answer 3

Your sugar level should be between 5 and 7. What type of diabetic are you Type 1 or 2. Keep an eye on it check it again about lunchtime and later on this evening. If it goes too high this is called being Hyperglycemic. If it is still 7.2 or higher tommorow go and see your doctor.

Answer 4

if the test was done properly and the meter was working correctly then you should not have a fasting blood sugar that high, no matter the circumstances, if you are not diabetic your pancreas will compensate for what you do or dont eat with the proper insulin, your sugars should not be that high. obviously one test is never a tell all but being sick or anything should not effect your sugars if you do not have diabetes plain and simple. you may be pre diabetic at this point, im not sure of your health and weight but if they are not in check then you could very well have type 2 diabetes or be well on your way.

Hello BtJonney

I am a type 1 diabetic and yes 7.2 I would class as good.

If I go below 5 I then start to feel really strange (Hypo) we are all different but to me a reading of 7.2 is good. Are you on insulin?

I have a brilliant diabetic nurse and my doctor also is excellent so if I have any problems I get lots of support.

Keep the good levels going because it will benefit your health in the long term.

Good luck

Answer 7

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 8

My mum was a diabetic and we used to reckon on heeping her blood sugar under 10, sometimes it went as high as 25! 7.2 is fine. Below 5 and it tends to be the other way, not enough. Get some better advice from your doctor though because that was only advice on managing my mums condition, not yours.

Answer 9

7.2 mmol/L equates to 130 mg/dL.

For a diabetic that's not bad at all. Ideally that would be 2 hours after eating...

You should not just be testing your blood sugar. Always have target levels that you and your doctor have decided on.

Answer 10

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/e8eir

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 11

If you're Type I, it's damn near perfect!

If you're Type II, it's still pretty good.

In all, it depends how stable your control is. For some of us, 7.2 is a bit on the high side. For others, 7.2 is a place only seen in passing up or down.

If you're concerned, don't ask here, talk to your GP or Diabetes Nurse.
