I’ve started monitoring my blood sugar at my doctors direction. I’m using Accu-Check aviva. My level when I wake up is around 150 .. during the day its around 110 whether its 4 hours after lunch or 2 hours after dinner. Is this normal? I thought it should be lower after 8 hours of fasting.

I went to the doctors today after I noticed I was starting to drink and pee a lot, and I felt a bit tired after eating, especially in mid-afternoon. The doctor gave me a blood sugar test, and said I was fairly high, and is getting me to do more tests over the next few days. I am a bit worried about this, however about an hour before the test I ate a banana and a muesli bar. Two hours prior to this, I exercised for 45 minutes. Can these affect the results of a blood sugar test? Or is high blood sugar levels after consumption of these foods just typical diabetes? Please answer, I am 15 and need peace of mind before exams tomorrow.

hi, does anyone have any idea what your average blood sugar level should be, i had mine checked recently and it was 3.7, aparantly this is a bit low? what would cause this and could i have diabetes relating to my pregnancy? (im 20weeks). sorry to ask so many Q’s, i just don’t think you recieve enough info from doctors and midwifes! maybe just mine?

IF my blood test is high do i have to do the glucose drink test? I am 34 weeks i have had this blood test done before and it was high on the normal side.
I dont mean to be funny but if they turn around and say i have gestational diabetes it really shouldnt affect much as i have got this far through pregnancy and now the doctors might give you diet sheets and your classed as high risk, bit weird if you ask me

I will be 27 weeks when i have my next dr. appointment and i still haven’t had the glucose screen for gestational diabetes..i thought all doctors did it between week 24-28, but my doctor didn’t say anything about it at my last appointment. Do they tell you in advance or do they just do it at your appointment? Are you not suppose to eat or drink anything so many hours before doing it?

Some doctors use 1 hour blood glucose test with a target of less than 130. Others use 2 hour test with a target of less than 120.
What will be the impact if my blood sugars are around 160 to 170 after one hour and around or little less than 120 after two hours?

Some doctors say it is to be taken after having break fast and some others say it should be done after having regular lunch, Which one is correct?

My blood sugar has been on average 320 for the last five days. I am new to diabetes so I asked my doc. All she did was up one of my pills (glucophag) by one dose a day. That was 2 days ago and there is no change. I am at 344 right now and I don’t feel well. I just hate to go to the emergency room if it isn’t urgent.

Any suggestions are helpful. I am on metformin and glucophag and do diet and exercise to stay level. It all worked until suddenly five days ago. All of a sudden, it went to 465 and has bounced from 220 to 385 since.
I spoke to my new doctors nurse and she said to pound down water til I could see him today. It helped!

Thanks to all who answered. It’s scary being lost in a new illness and depressing so searching for the answers was just making it worse. Now, I am on insulin so I should be doing better in no time.

I usually have to wait 3 full hours after eating before I can take the meds or it won’t have the full effect and I feel sick all day.

Can it cause low blood sugar too?
It is physical and not mental. I have had the tests done and I am one of the 1% of the thyroid problems that have an opposite reaction to low thyroid. My adrenal system kicks when the thyroid is low and I get same day results from the meds. I have had to PROVE it to several Doctors. I made them create 6 regular synthroid pills and one fake and put them in identical capsules and place them in my pill tray. I was able to accurately tell them the day that I got the fake one. EVERY TIME. I actually lose weight if I stop taking the pills and can’t eat or sleep because my stomach gets all knotted up and I get raging runs.

No one believes me until I prove it but there are 1% of us out there.

I am 15. In the last month, I have been feeling very tired-sleep 10-12 hrs/day. I am always thirsty and am hungry a lot. I also urinate frequently. At times, my urine smells sweet. Are these symptoms of type 1 or 2 diabetes? and I get blood work every 3 months. Is the blood glucose test included in the NORMAL ROUTINE blood work preformed by most doctors?
I get blood work done every three months because I have mild Crohn’s Disease. And I also am taking a medication that regulates my thyroid gland so I shouldn’t be this tired. And type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease just like crohn’s so I was just wondering if there was a chance I had diabetes!
