May 15, 2017. #1. I took an at home blood sugar test a couple weeks ago after sleeping/fasting for ~8/9 hours. It came back 101. According to the internet, I'm "pre-diabetic".... My mother said I was fine, that 120+ would be actually worrying. 23 y/o female. My mother and one of her brothers are prediabetic. Her other brother had type 1.
Fasting blood sugar: 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L) Post-prandial blood sugar (1-2 hours after eating): 100-140 mg/dL (3.9-7.8 mmol/L) A1C: <5.7 percent. Studies show that many people without diabetes do experience blood sugar levels above 140 mg/dL after meals, but such peaks are usually fairly brief.
Fasting: blood sugar less than 120mg/dL (80-120mg/dL) 2 hours after the start of a meal: blood sugar less than 140mg/dL. If you happen to miss the 2 hour after time and check at 3 hours it should be under 130mg/dL. If you don’t check until 4 -5 hours after the start of a meal it should be under 120mg/dL.
Reduce blood sugar-lowering medication or insulin in the evening. Reduce your long-acting insulin dose. Change your exercise schedule from afternoon or evening to morning. Make sure you don’t ignore reactive hypoglycemia. It’s a sign that your blood sugar is approaching dangerous levels overnight.
Normal Fasting Blood Sugar. A normal fasting blood sugar (which is also the blood sugar a normal person will see right before a meal) is: 83 mg/dl (4.6 mmol/L) or less. Many normal people have fasting blood sugars in the mid and high 70 mg/dl (3.9 - 4.3 mmol/L) range. Join or Login to remove this ad.
Sep 20, 2012. #1. I was dx (presumablyT2) in June 2012 and doctor has advised to try to treat via diet & exercise before looking at meds. My fasting glucose is averaging around 170 but my post-meal readings are often lower -- 150s. Today, my after-lunch reading was 124. I believe I can attribute the lower post-meal readings to my activity-level ...
There are many more people who have that issue and yet may have a perfectly normal fasting glucose of 85. I’m not saying high fasting is acceptable - no. But personally I’d rather have a 101 fasting but knowing I have a normal response after I eat . Imagine waking up to a fasting of 85, eating a standard meal and shooting up to 160 AND ...
I wonder whether fasting glucose can rise so rapidly over a period of 4 months for a non-diabetic even if the person indulges in eating extra carbs. I believe some infection may be causing this problem. The sickness symptoms you mentioned above raises my suspicion in this regard. A nondiabetic friend of mine once got fasting glucose as high as 115.
I think 10m after a fatty sweet thing like an ice cream sundae, it would be something around 85 or 90. Cause 10m is simply too soon to see a spike. The spikes in the CGM study, the 140s and occasional 160s, were at the 1h or 90m mark for the most part. 10m is not long enough to have done anything to anyone.
According to the official diagnostic criteria put forth by the American Diabetes Association, a high A1C is considered definitive for a diagnosis of diabetes. It is also used for the diagnosis of pre-diabetes. Normal – below 5.7 percent. Prediabetes – 5.7 to 6.4 percent. Diabetes – 6.5 percent or above.
