I ring handbells in our handbell choir at my Church. I've been faithfully testing both before and after practices and concerts, and have started getting weird readings. Sometimes after practice, my BG is high (around 215) and sometimes it is low (around 65) - and there seems no rhyme or reason. My meter is self calibrating, so it's not an issue of the wrong "code", and as a test, for the past 4 weeks, I've had exactly the same pre-practice meals. Why the strange variances?
My son has been experiencing a lot of highs lately. I called his doctor and they are wanting to put in a sensor so they can get a better idea of what is going on due to the fact that once in a while he throws in a low. I am just wondering what this is. The nurse explained but I was not in a good frame of mind at the time and can't remember what is going to take place when they do this???? Just wondering if you could help so I can help prepare my son before we do this.
I periodically have to take a steriod medication for my breathing problems, which sky rockets my sugar levels. My doctor recently put me on insulin shots to help control it at these times. I have been off of the most recent dose of medrol for 2 weeks now and my sugar is not coming down. Could the insulin shots be keeping it up? I am eating properly and just started my exercise up again.
I am A 48 year old mother of a 9 year old son. I have been a diabetic for 9 years. I was gestational in the beginning. Now I am overweight and I have high cholesterol on top of it. I try to work out at least 3 days a week , and the last two weeks I have only had a protein shake in the morning and salads for lunch and dinner. I am very frustrated with my wieght and the fact that my sugar is running real high. Please help me!! What do I do now?
My son was diagnosed with type I automimmune DM in June 2005. Since being started on insulin he has gained 70 lbs. He routinely has hypoglycemic reactions at blood sugars in what would be considered a normal range. He was incoherent during a recent episode when his glucometer read 69. A recent lab fasting blood sugar was 191 and HBA1C was 6.8. He is literally afraid to exercise due to these reactions and I think is overeating due to this fear. Are there people who need to run higher?
are the dangers of low blood sugar as great as high?

Hello, Thanks for the great website! I am a type 2 who has pretty good control over my blood sugars using diet, exercise and 1250 mg of metformin a day (My last A1C was 5.8) In the last month or so I am finding that stress has really elevated my blood sugars. I consider myself as a person who handles stress well, so I am a little perplexed. Any ideas?
My BG is usually normal from 9 PM to 6 AM. The past 4 times I ate pork for dinner, around 6 Pm, I tested normal when I went to bed at 10 PM, but my BG spiked over 200 between midnight and 3 AM. Could this be due to the fat in the pork? I thought the extended bolus should start at meal time, not 6 hours later.
I have found that sucrose, Splenda and similar products give me violent headaches and severe diahrea. My doctor says most likely that I am allergic to these products.

I have had Type 2 Diabetes since I was 37, I am now going on 65. I still am not sure what to do when several hrs have passed since I ate lunch and it is time to take my insulin and eat dinner as I am getting ready to put it on the table and I test my blood and find that it is over 200. What do I do? Do I eat dinner, or let my son eat and eat later or what? This is so confusing to me.

On three different occasions I switched from glucophage to the generic metformin to save money. My cost for glucophage for 3 months is $207; my cost for metformin $20. My blood sugars start to rise, and continue to do so with each 3-month test. When I go back on glucophage, they go down. Why should this be, if metformin is the same thing?
i have been taking my own blood glucose tests and i average around 125-129 in that range in the mornings before breakfast. is this a very high reading OR what is it considered as being? i am on meds for it.
I am new at this and I would like to know what is a good reading and a bad reading. I get up at 6 a.m. and take a reading and it will be about 158 and as the day goes by I will take it again and some times it will be 276 to 320. Even if I don't have any thing to eat it will be that way. So could you please let me know what is good and what is bad. I am 5'0" and 185pds. Ernestine Young
My sugar is high every morning and it doesn't seem to matter what I eat or when I eat my last meal. It is running between 220 to 270. By the afternoon I can have it back between 100 to 120. I am exercising everyday and drinking 8 glasses of water. Any suggestions?
I took my FBS this morning(2/22/2006)and it was 113. Then I took a pre meal test before my biggest meal (dinner) and it was 133. Then 2 hours after dinner I took a reading and it was 185. Is this a real high reading and when should I contact my doctor? By the way I just found out 2 1/2 weeks ago that I have type 2 diabetes.
I take Lantus daily at 11 pm and use Humulin R and Humalog with each meal. My control is very good except for my reading at bedtime (about 11 pm). Despite everything I have tried in terms of different levels of insulin, my blood sugars often exceed 200. I have had an increase of 100 points between 10 pm and 11 pm. My doctor has not been able to come up with a solution. I could use some advice. I have been treating my diabetes with insulin for over 25 years. My A1C is always under 7.0.
My mom was just recently told she has diabetes and her blood sugar has gone as high as 229 and the doctor wanted to know if she wanted to try a diet first or use insulin. So when should you start taking the insulin?

Hi. I have been having severe dizzy spells and heart fluttering. I have been monitoring my blood glucose levels to see if it may be diabetes making me feel bad for the past 3 weeks.

I've been wearing an insulin pump for 5 yrs. Recently I started awakening at 4 AM with blood sugars around 350. I've woken myself up at all hours to see if my blood sugar goes low prior to that - but I cant find the problem. Any help would be very grateful.
I exercise on the treadmill 5 times weekly in the early AM before work (before breakfast). I take metformin 1 x daily in the AM (1000mg). I notice that morning exercise is not lowering my blood sugar/sometime raising it a little. This is the best time of day for me to exercise as I am more consistent. Am I doing myself a disservice by exercising in the AM. Why is this morning exercise not lowering my blood sugar as exercise later in the day does?
I am a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. I am on 1,000 mg Metformin twice/day and 30 mg of Actos. My sugar level is 110 or below before bed but has been 140-152 fasting before breakfast. My other testing times throughout the day are below 140. What am I doing wrong?

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my third pregnancy. My daughter is almost 3 years old and her blood sugar levels are running high, my question is can a child who was born to a mother with gestational diabetes develope type 1 diabetes because the mother had gestational diabetes? I am now a diabetic, and there is a family history of type 2 diabetes.
I take 20u of Lantus at bed time, along with 1000mg of Metformin. This is a typical day. I got up at 3:00 a.m., took my sugar and it was 117. By 5:00 a.m. it was 164 and climbing; I had eaten nothing. Is that from too little or two much insulin in my body or is there a way to tell? I hadn't eaten anything since 6:00 p.m. the night before.
We are testing our blood glucose three times a day, sometimes four. What is considered a normal reading? We are ranging between 215 and 415, mornings are low, lunch and dinner veries. We're reading tons on books, information on the internet and we don't want to get into fear, but there is so much out there. Please help.
I am 32 weeks pregnant & have been tested for GDM and the test was negative. I did not feel well one day so I did a glucose check on myself & results were 332 (this was almost 4 hours after I ate) My DR acted as if I did something wrong by checking it. He also said that I knew nothing about it & I should leave things like that for professionals. Should I keep checking or just not worry?
I was watching dLife television and one of the little popups said that if sugar is above 250 to be careful of ketones, and that it could be dangerous. What are ketones and how do they affect me? Also, my sugar is currently less than in control...meaning I'm almost constantly at 250. Should i not exercise? That goes against all i've been told to do thus far.
My job responsibilities seem to increase constantly. I've been on the same job 24 yrs, and my coping skills have deteriorated. My sugar levels are higher while at work and I just want to cry all the time. My boss knows my medical condition but does gives little support and is very demanding. Since I can't quit my job (need medical ins.) can you help? I dread every day.

Over the last year I have gotten back into lifting weights and am looking to compeate in the 2008 Masters Powerlifting Championship. My question is my #'s are 95 to 115 when I start and jump to 185-190 when I finish. Is this average or am I doing something wrong? I lift first thing in the AM, I also do three 1 hour bike spinning classes per week so I am in the gym six days a week. I am also going to compeate in the BODY FOR LIFE contest and would like any advice on diets.
I am on Glucophage 500 mg twice daily. My fasting blood sugar is between 115-125 every morning. My Nurse Practitioner is satisfied with these results, I am not. I feel like my Glucophage should be increased to try to get the fasting down. My blood sugar the rest of the day, 2 hours after a meal averages 100-125. I do not eat over 25 grams of carbs per meal and sometimes no carbs.
My blood sugar goes up by over 200 points after eating even after taking glucophage. How can I keep this down to a min level? I know that it will raise up some because I am eating.
I'm a type 2 diabetic. I have been taking Actos and Metformin for a year. My numbers in the morning around 120. I feel great but have a very hard time testing my sugar levels. I run my own business. I eat much better then I did a year ago. What would be the best time and I do snack to control low-sugar. John
If a diabetic does not eat, is it true their blood sugar will be high?

I have been trying the Weight Watchers plan to lose weight. Is this a good plan to follow? I am not having much success with it, and am having problems with my blood sugars.
My sugar levels seem to be a little more elevated during certain times of the month. I am 41 and have had a hysterectomy but I still have my ovaries. I can pretty much know when my hormones are in high gear due to my mood swings and being hungry (although I am careful to stay on my diet). Would this also have an effect on my sugar levels? I currently do not take medications for my diabetes and have it under control with exercise and diet.
My doctor gave me a recommendation of a 30 carb breakfast, 15 carb snack, 60 carb lunch, 15 carb snack, a 60 carb dinner and then another 15 carb snack. Am I supposed to eat that much per meal or is that just the maximum amount that I am allowed?? My ranges are supposed to 60-120 and an hour after my meals my blood sugar is as high as 186. Should I eat more or less?
I am a 65 yr. male & 200 lbs overweight. I am on Novolog 70/30 am at 76 units & 58 units pm & lantus 24 units as soon as I awake in am. BS still run high & my Doctor is frustrated. because of my size exercise is almost impossible. my wife watches my diet carefully. HELP.
My daughter's levels are all over the place mostly high during the day and bottons out at night. We are very good with her diet, and activites but we just can not get them stable. The novolog seems to do very little, and her doctor has been no help from day ONE!!! What do we do????
My husband just recently went to insulin took glouphage for about 2yrs. He now takes lantis 40 units in the day time. He wakes in the morning at 7-8 takes a reading its usually 345 to 400 Two hours later it jumps to over 500 Is this normal?
I have type 1 diabetes and just had a baby 6 months ago. I'm trying to take weight off. I weight 144 and am only 5'2. I exercise 5 times a week and eat very well. I am having a hard time with lows and that adds a few extra calories. I have reduced my insulin to correct the lows. My blood sugars also run high at least once a day. Why can't I lose weight? Do my crazy blood sugars have anything to do with not losing weight??
I just read online that your expert suggested sticking to 3 meals a day to help lose weight. I thought that the new research says 5-6 small meals with protein and 15 grams of carbs at each meal better levels blood sugar rises and can help people feel full longer and lose weight. Please clear this up for me
What are long-term effects of an episode of an extremely elevated blood sugar lasting a few hours, specifically one that registers over 500? I understand there is the possibility of ketoacidosis when the episode happens, but are there any dangerous after-effects to be aware of? Thanks in advance for your response.
I've been playing tennis for months, lately when I play after starting with a normal (105) blood sugar, after playing for an hour my sugar is pushing 300's. I don't understand why. It's frustrating to enjoy something and have it do the opposite of what you expect it to do. ( which is to lower the sugar - not increase it)
My GYN just told me that my fasting blood sugars were slightly elevated. I think she said 109 was the reading. She also said my cholostrol was really high 220. I was wondering what the normal ranges are for blood sugars, and cholostrol are?
I have lupus fibromyalgia and severe spinal problems that has required 5 surgeries so far on top of my diabetes. I get my sugars at a good level and all of a sudden they start going high, then after a time they are back under control. Could my other problems be affecting how my surgars go up?
I exercise 3 times per week 30 minutes low impact strength training with cardio, yet my blood sugar is often higher when I finish why is this
My doctor told me my blood sugar was high and that i had diabtes. He didn't tell me which kind, or what to do for it. I am exercising, have cut out bad carbs and test my blood sugar which ranges from 125 to 190 usually two hours after I have eaten. What would you suggest I do to keep my sugar normal? I am a health nut, take supplements, eat right, and drink plenty of water, as well as exercise.
Why do you have to take these medications with food? If I am higher than recomended, wouldn't it be better not to eat?
I can keep my diabeties pretty much under control during the day but I have Dawn syndrome. My level upon waking at 5:00 a.m. my level is 190-240 daily. I do not eat or drink anything after 7:00 p.m. Any suggestions to lower this?

I just got myself off my pump because my sugars were staying too high. I am taking shots now but no matter how much I give myself my sugar will not go below 300. What can I do and use to get my sugar to go down? I have given myself 100 units before and it didn't hardly touch my sugar.
Recent articles have linked antidepressants with type-2 diabetes. I am having difficulty controling my blood glucose levels which are in the 300 range.
