why is my husband's blood glucose level highest just before he eats?

Question

My husband has been a diabetic for a while, and his levels are better- but something is happening we do not understand. 2 hours after he eats, his levels are lower then just before his next meal. Why is this, and have any suggestions? The highest level that he has had is 235.

taylor- thanks for answering- but how can you distribute meds over the day, when you are supposed to take them at meals?

Answer 1

Because he is taking medicine . After a meal the medicine will still be working causing the blood sugar to go down . Later the effect will start to wear off , and either he is still absorboing the food (sometimes up to 6 hours) or his body starts making more glucose .
You need to control the distribution of the drug effect over the whole day .
Edit
That's not for me or you to answer . It's the job of the treating physician to know about unusual spikes AND dips in blood sugar . Until your next appointment with the physician , dont worry if the blood sugar elevates only PART of the day because what is ultimately important is the daily AVERAGE of blood sugar . Of course better control is desired , but it ca wait until the physician is available.
My advice to you in the meantime is to DOCUMENT your findings .
Make sure the method used to measure the blood sugar is correct .
Plot the readings over days and in relation to drug dose times and meal times .
That will give the physician enough info to make a sound judgement .
Good Luck

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

If he is on medication, try getting more doeses or smaller doeses more time's a day. If he is on Insulin, Try highering his night-time medication ( lantus, lantin, ect. ). You should really talk to a doctor before doing any of this, i know they might give you problem's about it but keep pushing the issue :) Hope i can help
