Average blood glucose readings of 120 to 140 (24 hrs), is that ok? i take metformin 500mg and actos 15mg?

Answer 1

It's a little high. Blood sugar norms have recently changed and normal is now 60-110. It sounds like you're taking enough metformin and actos, so look to your diet. Make sure you're still cutting out sugar and high carb foods. If you like pasta switch to whole wheat. Same with bread. If you like sugar in your coffee, switch to splenda. Drink diet sodas if you feel the need to have one. Just try to think of all you ate in the last 24-48 hours and there is why your sugars are still high.

Answer 2

I'm no expert or medical person, but I think those readings are in the normal range.

Both medicines are used to control blood sugar levels. As long as they work without any side effects, you should continue to do as your doctor prescribed. However, if you experience wierd symptoms or side-effects, I would advise you to contact your doctor. Actos is a newer drug and has been known to affect some people adversely. When you get the prescription filled next time, read the product information carefully, so you can be on the lookout for any possible side effects.

Answer 3

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 4

If your BG readings are never under 120, my non-medical opinion is that you to check you diet, need more meds, need more exercise or a mixture of all three.

One qualification: an "average" is not very illuminating. How many times a day are you testing and when in relation to meal. If that is an average of preprandial readings, you definitely have a problem.. If those readings are all from an hour after eating, you might be OK..

In any event, it is something to discuss with your doctor.

Answer 5

Your numbers are okay. How is you A1C test are you below 7? Speak to your endocrinologist depending on your age, weight and other medical conditions if any, he or she can give you the range that is right for you even doctors differ on this one.

When did you test? To get a more accurate idea of your glucose you should check before you eat and 2 hours after. I hope this helps.

Answer 6

For a diabetic on medication as long as you continue at that reading and your doc is O.K. with it. Mine likes to keep me under 130 on Metformin. Of course I monitor my blood sugar twice a day and report any numbers over 200

Answer 7

Don't forget to exercise. You would be surprised what a 30 minute walk every day will do for your blood sugars.

Answer 8

Most endocrinologists try not to regulate diabetics too strictly to avoid episodes of hypoglycemia. I would be satisfied with your control.

Answer 9

Great!!

Answer 10

That is fine.
