Was it normal for you, or too high (or low)? Why do you think you got that particular result? Also, are you Type 1 or Type 2?

Mine was 99, but I’ve had a successful pancreas transplant. I don’t have to check it. Pre-transplant, if it was 99, I would have to be cautious, because it would usually be on the way down. I probably would have eaten a snack.
Re how my transplant went – I had kidney failure & went on dialysis, so that was the point where I was evaluated & put on the list for a kidney and pancreas.

My results were outstanding; I had to have only one injection of insulin post transplant (because they gave me a huge amount of prednisone), and that was it. They said results like mine are why they do transplants. It’s still a big deal, and there’s not a day that goes by that I’m not thankful for it.

If so…. then why do they need insulin in the first place, when they can just exercise instead?

my brother is diabetic and it is II type. He is taking the combination therapy Glibenclamid and Metformin, but his blood glucose level is rising . it about 250mg/dl and he is in trouble now. is doctor is advising him to take insulin but he has a field work. because he is a solider. please if you have a solution for this problem if there is another treatment option or management for this case.

The glucose level in the blood remains fairly constant. Homeostasis is maintained by a feedback loop that may be triggered by?

A) Too much glucose in the blood.

B) Too much insulin in the blood.

C) Not enought glucose in the blood.

D) Not enought insulin in the blood.

E) All of the above.

age 23. newly diagnosed diabetic. taking metformin and insulin (10 units) once in the morning. just tested my blood glucose because my eyes were hurting and it was at 415. no insurance. called the health clinic to get advice. no one available to answer. is it safe to take another dose of insulin to get my numbers down fast?

I would assume that with a trememdously smaller amount of food, I would be suffering from a drop in blood sugar. I am insulin resistant and used food to keep my sugar boosted up. How come I am I doing fine now?

How does an increase in thyroxin, insulin, and adrenaline change blood glucose levels?

I am pregnant about 7 weeks they say, and I just started insulin and I was wondering when Blood glucose levels are harmful to my baby. I haven’t had them over 200 lately i have been trying really hard to control them but i am really stressed about my baby.

I work at a nursing home and the nurses there check the patient’s cbgs and give insulin if needed whie they are in the dining room eating.

In school I was taught that cbgs should be taken before meals and that we should not do anything invasive (such as giving insulin) in the dining room.

I’m not understanding the point of checking someone’s blood glucose sugar while they are eating. Wouldn’t their level start to rise? Could someone please explain this to me?
but would checking the blood glucose levels and giving the insulin if needed while the patient is eating have any affect.
I am new grad lpn

I was just doing some reading about the glycemic index. The high glycemic foods cause a sudden spike and fall of the consumer’s blood sugar level which makes them feel hungry shortly after.

Now, since diabetics can’t produce or don’t produce enough insulin…. Meaning that they have high blood sugar if they don’t take their medicine. So, putting 2 and 2 together, and untreated diabetic would never feel hungry, correct?
