Answer 3

With those levels, you're probably 99.9% fine. Any fasting reading above 200 is considered rocky territory. While losing weight is a sign of diabetes, working out for an hour a day is probably what's causing it. Usually losing weight AND increased hunger and eating are together a sign of diabetes. You said your doctor gave you a glucose meter. Is this doctor a GP or endocrinologist? If he/she is a GP (general or family doctor), your better bet is to see an endocrinologist. They specialize in diabetes and other endocrine disorders. Not that GP's aren't skilled enough to treat a diabetic, but sometimes they over exaggerate the diagnosis of "prediabetes". Just don't stress over your numbers so much (stress is a killer on the blood sugars); as long as they are under 200 (2 hours after eating or fasting), they're not bad. Also your better bet is to have your doctor do a Hemoglobin A1c. It gives a more accurate reading of how your blood sugars have been averaging.

Best of health to you and yours.

Answer 4

Blood Glucose should fall with in a range of 80 - 150 depending on when you have last eaten.
Some idiot said 40-60 fasting that is in the area of Hypoglycemic and can cause a person to pass out. If you have eaten lots of sweets and take your blood sugar immediately <15 min you should be under 150. Max 130 would be better and less than 110 after 2 hours. IF YOUR BLOOD SUGER IS 200 OR MORE THAN SEE YOUR DR NOW. If in the 150 to 200 range after 2 hrs of eating see him right away. If it is less than 120 two hrs after eating then do not worry about it to much

Answer 5

Any fasting check should be 80-120. Any non-fasting should be less than 140. The glucose levels are going to vary a lot but yours are really not bad at all. The one thing that really gives you a good indication of whether you should worry or not is the A1C results. That is the blood test that your doctor usually does every 3 months. It should be less than 7, preferably 6.5 or less.

Answer 6

the American diabetes Association has set the standard guidelines for glucose levels as follows for patients with diabetes.

Before meals and fasting level should be 90 to 130 mg/dl

1-2 hours after eating less than 180mg/dl

Your numbers seem to be alright. I do not thnk that you have anything to worry about. Losing weight is what they want us to do, and it is really hard to do.

I am a diabetic and have been for 9 years and wish that my readings were that low.

I am on medication and my fasting numbers are staying high.
But it levels out during the day and before my meals.

If you do not have diabetes, and your numbers are this low, you have nothing to worry about. Do not fret. Watch your diet, keep exercising and you are going to be all alright.
I promise you.

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.

Thanks for introducing yourself to a supportive, intelligent, caring community that can help you.

My FBG level was 99. My doctor said 100 would be a cause for concern. I had just recovered from pneumonia.

I went home, through out every bit of sugar I could find. I have not eaten sugar except for a piece of cake at a funeral last year.

I have lost twenty pounds of fat. I have tripled my level of energy for sports and other activities that I enjoy. I eat NO CAKE CANDY COOKIES CHOCOLATE SODA OR ANYTHING WHICH SAYS ON THE LABEL SUGAR. Not even one gram.

My glucose went down to way under 100. I am hungry all the time, so I eat sugar free potato chips, pretzel sticks dipped in hot mustard and sugar free rolls with butter. My weight goes down if I do not lift weights and eat protein before retiring.

I view candy, cakes, cookies and chocolates as poisons that can and will kill me prematurely, as they are so many of our fellow Americans. Sugar is the worst stuff on earth, no matter what form it takes.

I make my own soda with sparkling water and squeezed limes or oranges. I do not allow sugar in my house. I treat it the way recovering addicts treat drugs and pills.

It is the first milky way that ruins your life.

Look at the people who suffer for sugar...

Answer 9

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 10

There is no cause for alarm... Your Blood sugar is just good. It's good that you're checking your blood sugar most of the time..Imagine for three times a day. That's good enough. For me I can say that my feeling is ok if I get 120. Just don't eat a lot of sweets and carbohydrates. Maintain that and don't feel bad. I had mine for 14 years now. Don't worry to much as long as your doctor is helping you out there is no cause for alarm. Good day!
