I did a test at school for blood glucose level. Here are the results:

FIRST: 3 hours after eating: 148 mg/dl
SECOND: 2 hours after eating: 142 mg/dl

If it’s okay, I’d want to be more specific with the activities that could have somehow affected the tests. Minutes prior to the FIRST test, I drunk a small gulp of energy drink. Minutes prior to the SECOND test, there was micturition.

(Sorry for the inaccuracies I caused for the tests. I wasn’t thinking whether it would affect the trial or not.)

What can you say about the results? Am I already diabetic or in risk of diabetes? What dietary advices can you give me to prevent diabetes? Or if I already am diabetic, what should I eat and not eat?

We had a bake sale for work today and all the leftovers are here and are VERY tempting! I’m supposed to get tested for gestational diabetes in the morning. Will eating sweets the night before affect the results of my test?
Sorry I should have added this. I’m at no known risk of diabetes. It’s just a thing they check for. I just hardly eat sweets and seeing them while being pregnant is making me want them! I just didn’t want to make the test inaccurate since I hardly eat sweets.
My test came back negative. That night I had a piece of white cake with whipped white frosting, a brownie topped with powdered sugar, chocolate chip ice cream, and 2 glasses of orange juice and 2 glasses of water. What a pig ha ha!

I got my blood work done two days ago. I was fasting for 12 hours before I went for my blood test. Doctor office called today and informed me that my blood sugar was 107. I will not able to get hold of my doctor till April 7th. Any suggestions what to do and eat in the interim? I have no family history of Diabetes. Am I at risk?

my blood sugar level without eating anything is 7.2 is this normal could i be at risk of diabetes?

I am a healthy 38 year old, I have just started taking metformin (1000 mg/day) for its anti-aging effects. I am not diabetic and my blood sugar is naturally at a healthy level (glucose 4.9 mmol/L). Is there a risk metformin will lower my blood sugar to a risky level?

My husband is type 2 and he is only 45 years old and they have him on so many meds for his condition. I am afraid he is going to wind up dying from overmedication like his grandmother did. She was also type 2 and on too many meds and her heart just gave out one day. I feel that the doctor is just dosing him because of the pharmaceutical companies give them a kickback prescribing these drugs. Serious answers only please.
Here’s the thing: I have taken cinnamon for years and I only need to take supplements(multi vitamin, garlic(fresh and pill form), flaxseed, B complex, etc.) for my health. Diabetes does run in my family also and I am 50 lbs. overweight. I never believed in prescription meds. I feel there is a holistic approach to this without the risk of overmedicating and contraindications.
And I go for yearly checkups and they find everything in order.

Well I have been reading about this testing and I notice that the Side effects are not very pleasant. I heard that a lot of women tend to feel very hyper, shaky, nauseated, and may start vomiting.

Hold It! Vomiting may occur??? Nausea??? Ok yeah… I don’t think I can do this. Some people may have Diabetes in my family but that doesn’t mean it runs in my family. Well to me I guess. But I always had a fear of vomiting or even going near someone who even says they feel like throwing up. It scares me I don’t exactly know why, But do panic to a point that I will run away. In other words to make it short I have Emetophobia…

A lot of women say that they didn’t take the test, because of the same problem, not the phobia but the side effects they don’t want to go through. I know you are probably thinking if she has emetophobia how was she able to go through the first few months of pregnancy? well I’ll answer that before you ask, I never had the morning sickness throughout this entire pregnancy and I’m now 27 weeks.

Is the test really that Important? Do I really have to take it? I’m too scared to do it and I have 3 hours to decide whether to take the risk or not. Deep down I don’t want to.

I am pre diabetic because usually my fasting blood sugar ranges from 90-115.

I am thin and tall.21 yrs old, female. My mom has diabetes, so my chances of getting diabetes is high.

If I keep doing exercises and not eat heaps of sweets, will I be able to have a normal blood sugar level without being pre diabetic again?

Is there a risk for a pre diabetic person to develop diabetes when pregnant?

1.
"Even with successful treatment, diabetes survivors are at risk of serious complications, such as CV disease, kidney failure, and blindness"

2.
"Truly successful treatment minimizes complications by narrowing the gap between a healthy glucose homeostasis pattern and that derived from therapeutic treatment"
-Matching basal and post-prandial glucose and insulin levels to those of healthy individuals.
-Individuals have different levels of dysfunction.

What’s the second point trying to say?
And what’s it mean by basal and post-pranial glucose/insulin levels?

my grandmother has been diagnosed recently but she doesnt like doctors, hospitals or tablets/injections. she says is she hadnt been to the doctor, she would never had known she was ill. she won’t go back to the doctor to discuss treatment for her diabetes. is she putting herself at risk?
