I have type-2 diabetes and I know what I should do if my sugar levels are too low but what can I do when my sugar happens to be too high at a given point and needs to lowered fairly quickly. thanks Harold Robbins hot49rod@juno.com
"I want to exercise to decrease weight and become more healthy. However, I have found that my sugar level drops quickly when I exercise. This of course leads me to feel as if I need to eat, and in return for eating I feel I defeated the purpose of the exercise which was to burn calories and lose weight. Is this cycle avoidable? Or is the eating actually ok?"
Please characterize the current state of knowledge regarding the relative risk of transient, postprandial upward spikes in blood sugar level versus elevated average blood sugar level (say, as indicated by a higher-than normal HbA1C test result). Thank you
Just recently I have changed my diet completely. I feel great however I am concerned. I am on actos and glipizide. I couldnt get my readings below 135 now they are in the 70 and 80 do I need to be concerned.
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.
are the dangers of low blood sugar as great as high?
My pregnant daughter was last week diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and was given some information on diet and testing. She is recording glucose in the 70's and spilling ketones in moderate to large amounts according to her morning test. Why is this happening and what should she be doing in her diet? If her glucose readings are that low (only been taking readings for 3 days now) is it possible she does NOT have gestational diabetes?
Have you heard of St John's Wort having an effect on blood sugar levels or affecting insulin dosage? Just started taking SJW, and am having a lot of trouble with blood sugars recently, up and down. Any info at all?
Is it true that this mangosteen juice can help lower your blood sugar and will this interfer with the meds I'm taking which is Avandia and Glucovance for type 2?
My 26 year old son with type 1 has many lows and can't tell his bg is low until he needs assistance. I read that the pump can help prevent lows. How does it do that? I know very little about the pump. What tasks are required to maintain its function? My son wants to do as little as possible to survive with diabetes, even if that means a low functioning life style.
Last night I was fasting for my Diabetes checkup this morning and I strated getting the feeling I didn't know what was going on but had my wife get Grahm Crackers and peanut butter and I checked my sugar and it was 47, then checked it about ten minutes later and it was 29. My doctor checked my meter and it was fine so just how low can you go before serious trouble?
What should a normal newborn's blood sugar be, and why will it not stabilize after 24 hours. He has had a D10 IV drip, when they removed it , his BS dropped back down into the 20's. What are the reasons for this, and what are the dangers with this. Will this make him more susceptible to becoming diabetic.
My friend has a child with Type 1 Diabetes. She was just diagnosed around February of last year. Her daughter has blood sugars ranging from 360 to 39. She is getting ready to see her daughter's physician on Monday. What are some important questions that she should ask her doctor about this problem to help get this under control. Her daughter is not on any set meal plan presently and that is one option. What are some questions you might ask?
My husband is diabetic and is going through chemo treatments and when he has these treatments his blood sugar goes high but it comes back down. Will this effect his A1C when he has it checked?
My mother is 83 years old and has low blood sugar. We try to manage it with her diet but she is not always cooperative. Could you recommend some food to keep around her to raise her blood sugar quickly. She is often at home alone and cannot always remember what to eat. Thank you
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.
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

I have a problem with eating ice cream. Is it okay to have ice cream if your sugar is low or if you substitute it for carbohydrates?
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????
When I exercise hard (an hour of a combination of aerobic and weight training, for instance), I will feel like I have low blood sugar -- shaky, sweaty, etc. But my blood sugars will be 89 or 91. When I took a 3 hour bike ride last weekend, I felt fine, although my blood sugar was 73 when I got home. What should I do? Eat during working out? I don't take any medication for my type II diabetes because my blood sugars aren't high.
All of a sudden my Lantus is not working. I'm dropping to BS of 30 in the am with R sided paralysis. Had to go by ambulance to ER last week. Has anyone heard of this?
I have lost the ability to know when my blood sugar is low at night. My sugar can go so low I go into an uncontrollable seizure in which someone finds me, I wind up in hospital and don't know where I am at for days. If no one finds me luckily my body fights it off and I finally wake up. I need answers about ways to prevent this without overeating. Thanks Ron
Why does my client get the chills when his b/s goes down? Is this a simple response to insulin levels or is there something else i should be aware of?
Is there a bedtime snack, such as protein, that would sustain my sleeping hours blood sugar level more consistently. I often wake up with the shakes and very low glucose readings.
My mother is in the hospital for a quadruple bypass. The nurse assumed one of the IV bags was an antibiotic and gave it to her over a 4 hour period, but it was in fact insulin. Her blood sugar level dropped to 11. I would like to know what happens to the body, brain, and organs when your blood sugar drops that low? She is 70 and I would like to know what to look out for so I will know how to help her. Thank you.
We are having a lot of illnesses in my family - life support, cancer, funerals, etc. In my life right now, the stress level is very high. I try to put my trust in the Lord which helps for a few hours of course. Will this much stress for long periods of time be even more hazardous to my diabetes II? My numbers are all over the place lately. Thanks. MCB
I am a 39 year old type 1 diabetic and I have a problem with fainting spells and dizziness. I have been through all kinds of tests and nobody can seem to pinpoint what may be wrong. My blood pressure does drop significantly at times (88/66 AT ONE TIME), and also my blood sugars can vary from very high (over 600) to average, to very low (40's and below). Any suggestions?
I don't know what to expect when I get a reading they are all over the board - what should they be?
Everytime I spend time under the hot sun, my glucose level drops to the low 50's. Why is this? I have Type II and am taking Glucovance.
I recently had a 3 hr GTT w/ insulin levels done. My fasting insuling level was 73, but my GluF was a normal 90. 1 hr post my insulin was 50, and my sugar was 110. 2 hrs post my insulin was 10 and my suagr was 70. 3 hrs post my insulin was 63 and my sugar was only 55. I work in the medical field, but I've never seen this before and I have no idea what it mean. Can you maybe shed some light into this? (FYI, I have also been diagnosed with PCOS.)
I joined a gym. Doing 10 min treadmill warm up before circuit weight training with 15 min treadmill cool down. Blood sugar dropping 100-130pts. How can I exercise if my bs is normal say 109?

How much of an adjustment? How can I figure this out safely? Thanks.
