Whats too low and too high for diabetes?!


Question: Whats too low and too high for diabetes!?
Answers:
I've been a diabetic since 1993, and now take up to 10 insulin injections a day!. My doctor informed me that a normal BGL is between 70 and 120!. I was also told that with a fasting BGL of between 100 - 125 that you're prediabetic!. If your BGLs are over 126, some doctors say you are a diabetic!. If your BGLs are under 70 and stay that low all the time, you have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)!.

60 is to LOW!. That's almost hypoglycemic!. Here are a list of numbers that was handed out to us by an endocrinologist at one of my diabetic ed!. classes a few months ago!. He also said that what is right for one person is not necessarily right for another person and we all have to find our "right numbers"!. This list is for those who have diabetes!.

Fasting
110 excellent
140 acceptable
180 fair

2 hours after your meals
140 excellent
180 acceptable
235 fairWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your blood sugar should be what your body wants it to be!. If it's 130 and that's what maintains your metabolism then that's what it should be!. If you have blood sugar that fluctuates and bounces around then you may have or are beginning to develop a problem!. That's the important part!. A blood sugar over 150 or so can start to cause tissue and organ damage!. Blood sugar is regulated by insulin from the pancreas but also by glycogen that's stored in the liver!. Hope that helps instead of just more confusion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your blood glucose stays over 180, it may be too high!. It means you don't have enough insulin in your body!. High blood glucose can happen if you miss taking your diabetes medicine, eat too much, or don't get enough exercise!. Sometimes, the medicines you take for other problems cause high blood glucose!. Be sure to tell your doctor about other medicines you take!.

Having an infection or being sick or under stress can also make your blood glucose too high!. That's why it's very important to check your blood glucose and keep taking your insulin or diabetes pills when you're sick!. (For more about how to take care of yourself when you're sick, see chapter five!.)

If you're very thirsty and tired, have blurry vision, and have to go to the bathroom often, your blood glucose may be too high!. Very high blood glucose may also make you feel sick to your stomach!.

If your blood glucose is high much of the time or if you have symptoms of high blood glucose, call your doctor!. You may need a change in your insulin or diabetes pills, or a change in your meal plan!.
