Fasting blood sugar is 102 is diabetic?
Regarding this, I’ve always functioned behind the notion that anywhere between 70–120 in blood sugar levels is normal—ideal.However, this isn’t true for non-diabetics.For someone who does not have diabetes, a decent blood sugar is typically under the 100 range. If you are not a diagnosed diabetic, then anywhere above 100 in your fasting blood glucose (but below, say, 125) is considered pre-diabetic.Everyone else in the answers is saying you’re fine…and well, you are. But not for long, or at least, not if you don’t start taking care of yourself now.I’m a T1 diabetic—I was stuck with this illness even if my diet was alright before the diagnosis, even though I’d been athletic for most of my life. I became a diabetic through no fault of mine.I want to drive home that you’re not diabetic yet, but that you should take the necessary preventive measures to insure you’re never diabetic. If this means cutting down one slice of pizza at your meals, squeezing in 30 minutes of exercise once a day, whatever it is that works for you, but start now. There will be no turning back once you’re diagnosed. It’s a lifetime deal, my friend.
I tested my blood sugar this morning, it was 113, am I a Diabetic?
I'm 54, and I have not been feeling very well lately. I was thinking that it had to do with my hormones, since I have not been on any hormones of any kind and my hot flashes are getting worse. I had been researching bio-identical hormones and I already made an appointment with a doctor. Besides hot flashes I had been feeling a little tired, and I'm losing weight. I thought it was because I don't eat much, just breakfast, a protein shake for lunch and a salad with fruits a veggies and chicken for dinner. I drink lots of water, so going to the bathroom with frequency, is normal to me. I have a tendency to not eat for many hours like yesterday, when I had breakfast around 9:30 am and no lunch until 5:00 pm, when I was so hungry that I went out and got spaghetti and meat balls; and then at night I only had chocolate ice cream :) (I know... this was bad!). This was unusual for me, I rarely eat pasta and ice cream at night, I was busy and I had no other food around, and I would not do it again, I promise. I do exercise at least 3 times a week. So, would this reading of 113 be due to the pasta and ice cream? or does it mean I am a diabetic already. Could I control it by keeping track of food intake and sugar levels during day? Could I manage my sugars with just diet and exercise? Do I have to go to a doctor and start taking medicine? Is there a natural way to fight this? Lots of questions, I know... but I'm confuse on what to do first, and before I go out and buy books and food, I wanted to see what you all think. Two other facts: both of my parents are diabetic and I do not have insurance. Thanks:)
What is a normal fasting blood sugar level?
These are the present day accepted normal thresholdsfor those (like me) using SI units, 1 mmol/L = 18 mg/dL. so100 mg/dL ≈ 5,5 mmol/L126 mg/dL = 7 mmol/LBut there is a sliding scale if you look at the relationship between fasting blood sugar and the development of type 2 diabetes later on, from Normal Fasting Plasma Glucose and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Blood glucose of 113. Could it be diabetes?
My husband has been experiencing severe dizzy spells. He went to an ENT because we thought it had something to do with his inner ear. Blood was drawn at the ENT's office. The results came back today. His blood glucose was 113. He was told to contact his primary care physician about Adult Onset Diabetes. Is dizziness a symptom of Diabetes? Is this number high enough to be considered diabetes?
How to bring fasting blood sugar level to normal?
Your fasting blood glucose is fine (normal is 90-120 mg/dl)...It does not seem like you are overweight (your BMI is about 22, which is within the normal range).I don't know how many times you've had your blood sugar checked, but in order to diagnose diabetes, they have to do an oral glucose tolerance test at least twice and obtain the measurements on two separate occasions or obtain the readings at least 3 times...If you are really worried, you should probably talk to your physician-you may have other medical conditions which I am not aware of that may change the whole picture, but as of right now, YOU ARE NOT DIABETIC
Today morning I did my first sugar test on an empty stomach using a kit and got a reading of 100. Am I borderline dieabetic? Or does 100 map onto sugar level of a normal non-diabetic person?
Your fasting blood sugar level is fine, you don't have diabetes, not even pre-diabetes (impaired fasting blood sugar), no other tests needed.If you're at high risk of developing diabetes (obese, one of the parents have type 2 diabetes, a woman has had gestational diabetes) repeat at yearly intervals.See the Mayo websit Tests and diagnosisA fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes.For decades an oral glucose tolerance test haven't been done to diagnose diabetes.Some are using glycated hemoglobine (HbA1c) levels instead of fasting blood sugar to diagnose diabetesAn A1C level of 6.5 percent or higher on two separate tests indicates that you have diabetes. An A1C between 5.7 and 6.4 percent indicates prediabetes. Below 5.7 is considered normal.HbA1c levels at least in Europe isn't given as a percentage anymore, but to have consistent lab to lab result as mmol/mol, see this conversion chart NGSP HbA1c (%) to IFCC HbA1c (mmol/mol) conversion chart
Blood sugar: 90, 113, 76?
From what you have described from what you have eaten, I have to ask, where are the veggies and fruits? It's best to get any form of sugar as natural sugars. Our bodies have an easier time of processing them. The readings that you have listed are all in normal ranges. Try eating small meals every few hours, or have a small snack between meals. That's a good time to have the fruit and veggies. At night, when we are asleep, our bodies (the liver) naturally produces sugars, that's why you get higher readings in the morning when fasting all night. It's because your liver has made it's own natural sugar, and because you are asleep, your body isn't active so it's not really burning any energy.
