Ila replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"When my BG gets over about 175, I start getting sleepy. Also, I started having problems with my eyes drying. I notice this is worse when my BG is high."
sadiemae replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"I find at 240 I get nauseous at 299 I get real sleepy and any higher I start sweating and get very hot and may get confused just like low bs. But I usually test at the first sign of nausea. Always check before and after meals as directed but look…"
Yvonne replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"When I start yawning before noon, I know I'm going low. Funny who different diabetes lows and highs can affect you. I always check with my meter."
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"The AACE (The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists) guidelines are: A1C <6.5, Fasting <99, Post Prandial @ 1 hr. <140, Post Prandial @ 2 hr. < 120."
Peetie replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"I fall asleep when I'm high. I have DP and if I'm groggy when I wake up, my meter will confirm the high."
karaoke judy replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"egg whites in the morning i still have to take some meds but not much"
karaoke judy replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"if im maintaining 110 to 200 all day is that good cause i used to be 400 to 550 and higer im not eating bad anymore just veggies and turkey chicken and sea food"
Yvonne replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"Wooh. That is low. I've been told 160 two hours after eating is fine--even 180 does not upset my endo.
The biggest problem with going high is that your blood sugar may drop suddenly and then you have a real problem. Carry some hard candy mints…"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"Other than testing with your meter or using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) it is hard to tell. An hour after eating should be at 140 and 2 hours at 120. Unless you go much higher you won't know. Sometimes a person will feel tired or sleepy…"
Chris replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"I understand that testing with the meter would be best, I was just trying to find out if there is any other way, like an early warning sign. Like if you are driving or somewhere without your meter. I work in a large factory that has several…"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"You test with your meter !!!!!!"
Yvonne replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"I've never been able to tell when I have a high without checking with my meter. When I was first diagnosed, I assumed I was having a low when at a meeting. Like a fool, I ate an apple--then tested. Had to leave the meeting and speed walk around…"

I've heard that Victoza is expensive. oh, and your doctor should have done an a1c test on you already. It's kinda like an average of your blood sugars over the past three months. Except the numbers are much smaller than bg numbers. I think they want us to have a1c's less than 7.0. What have your bg numbers been? I'm type 1, so it's hard for me to stay in range, but I try to shoot for under 140. 80-120 are really good numbers.
