Most Dr. say the avarage should run between 80 to 180 if you are below 80 you get what my family calls weak trembles. (Eat a small spoon of sugar to get it up quick then eat a meal, sandwhich, fruit and veg) If you get above 180 you are too high best thing to do then is to drink lots of water, and take your insulin which your Dr. should have set your amounts at and eat a small orange or something so you don't drop to far. Diabietes is very tricky. My oldest has had it from the time she was 10, she is 22 now. My daughter wants me to add when you are high drink 8 oz glasses of water every 30 min. It also depends on your Dr as what your blood sugars are. Type 1 and Type 2 carry different sugar levels.

It's probably not the best thing for you, especially if you have family history of diabetes.  Just for thought, there's like 30 grams of sugar in each 12 oz can of soda.  Weigh out 60 grams on a scale just to see what it looks like.  If you're drinking 2, 20 oz bottles, it's even more!

74-105 is the average "normal" range. But if your glucose was 158 fasting, it's a bit high, but not so high as to panic. \nTalk with your doctor, see a specialist and find out as much as you can about your disease. Diabetes is best treated and maintained with education and vigilance. \n\nGood for you that you lost weight! Some diabetics find loosing weight very hard. \nStay active, eat healthy and keep your charbs down. \nGet as much info as possible and see your doctor regularly for checkups and diabetes maintainence!

Total cholesterol should be less than 200, yours is normal. Fasting glucose should be at least 80-120. Have breakfast, lunch, dinner & 2 snacks. Avoid skipping meals, it might decrease your glucose level. \n\n5'7" for female should be:\nrough approximation: for every 5 ft allow 105 pounds, then 5 pounds for every 1 inch, therefore, 105 + 35 = 140-150 would be fine. It would depend on your frame, if you are small, medium or large frame. I guess you are a little overweight even if you are of the large frame. Am not sure with your jean size, we have small, medium & large jeans here in the Philippines.

7% was the old recommendation for diabetics, now its 6% and under is what the current guideline recommend. For most labs, 4% to 5.9% is normal.

Between 80 and 120 mg/dl, assuming that they have not eaten within a few hours previously.\nChildren's BG's seem to vary more than adults, possibly because they expend energy so much more "explosively" and have smaller reserves of stored fats.

A blood sugar imbalance is either hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic.  That means your blood glucose level is either above or below the normal level.  The normal level is about 80-120.  A high blood glucose level may be indicative of diabetes.\n\nSee a doctor.

Glucose is a chemical which contains a good bit of energy. It is somewhat reactive as well. It is the sugar in grapes, the components of starch, and 1/2 of the disaacharide sucrose (table sugar). \n\nGlucose reacts with a great many proteins in the body. this quite normal and is always found. The reaction depends on the glucose concentration, and higher glucose levels result in larger numbers of them. The HB1ac blood test measures one of these reactions and uses the level measured as an estimate of the average blood glucose level for the past 3 months or so. \n\nSome of those reactions are more damaging. It's thought that these reactions are connected with the vascular damage which causes problems in eyes, kidneys, and feet. And also probably with neuropathy. \n\nHigher than normal glucose levels have been shown to associate with these complications, and diabetics who keep their glucose levles normal have complication rates very much like those of non-diabetics. Several large studies have demonstrated this for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. There is little question any more that keeping one's glucose levels at or very near normal is well worth doing.

either very low or very high. the normal range is 70-110mg/dl. coma means that your blood glucose is below 45mg/dl or above 400-500mg/dl approximately.

There are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.

Sounds to me like a doctor has been trying to scare you.   Your numbers are fine.   It makes me crazy to see people worried about varying between 80-130.   This tells me that SOMEone has been spooking them about diabetes.   Yes, diabetes is a big problem in our country, but it's also big business.   The profits involved in the testing devices and medication is tremendous.    Some companies will give you a free tester because you will then use their products (via prescription) for the rest of your life, and may not need them.\n\nTrue diabetics have blood sugars like mine, 400s up, or like my cousins, which go from 30 - 400 in one day.   It is irritating as heck to hear people fretting about their blood sugar going up to 130  (usually after eating a chocolate cake).    A doctor or someone is telling them they are potential diabetics, instead of guiding them toward more healthy eating habits.    I have seen this too often lately, and hope people will be responsible and get a second opinion before getting treatment for a disease they don't have.   \n\nGood luck to you!!!!

Whole wheat bread is good, check the label, you are looking for high fiber and low sugar. There are many names for sugar in labels: sucrose, fructose, dextrose, glucose,maltose,lactose. Diabetics need to stay away from those. A normal healthy person should not consume more than 40 grams per day.\nHere is a website how to manage diabetes...\nhttp://www.joslin.org/managing_your_diabetes_707.asp

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.\n\nThere are 20.8 million people in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.\n\nIn order to determine whether or not a patient has pre-diabetes or diabetes, health care providers conduct a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Either test can be used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends the FPG because it is easier, faster, and less expensive to perform.\n\nWith the FPG test, a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl signals pre-diabetes. A person with a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher has diabetes.\n\nIn the OGTT test, a person's blood glucose level is measured after a fast and two hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage. If the two-hour blood glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the person tested has pre-diabetes. If the two-hour blood glucose level is at 200 mg/dl or higher, the person tested has diabetes.\nMajor Types of Diabetes\n\n\nThe Complete Guide to Diabetes, 4th EditionFurther Reading . . .\nThe Complete Guide to Diabetes has been completely revised to bring you all the information you need to live an active, healthy life with diabetes. Now in its fourth edition, this guide gives you information on the best self-care techniques and the latest medical advances. If you have diabetes, this guide will answer all your questions.\nFor more books on healthy living, click here.\n\nType 1 diabetes\nResults from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that "unlocks" the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.\n\nType 2 diabetes\nResults from insulin resistance (a condition in which the body fails to properly use insulin), combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.\n\nGestational diabetes\nGestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women - about 135,000 cases in the United States each year.\n\nPre-diabetes\nPre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 41 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20.8 million with diabetes.\nAdditional Information\n\n\nDiabetes Learning Center for the Recently Diagnosed\nYou've just been diagnosed with diabetes.

90 is a great blood glucose number! Who told you it should be higher? The Keeblers Elves? Sara Lee?\n\nCheck out this information from the National Institutes of Health, which says that for non-diabetics, normal fasting blood sugar should be 70-110, and after eating should be 70-140:\nhttp://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/index.htm\n\nLosing weight and passing out may indicate some kind of health problems, but 90 blood glucose would indicate that diabetes is not the problem.

Probably, but this method of blood glucose control isn't very nutritious, not to mention boring. One of the keys to nutrition is eating a variety of foods each day. By checking your blood glucose two hours after starting to eat a meal, you can learn how different foods affect you. Over time, you will be able to predict how foods, and combinations of foods, affect your blood glucose level.
