When I get high numbers...I usually first re check...Relax then drink water. Re test again... When numbers are still high I call my doctor. Are you under stress lately? Did it just happen today? Or does the high number occurs often? Do you keep a ...
I don't worry until i am between 300 and 400. I feel strange in the 200's too, you can walk or some kind of exercise to bring it down, panic and worry adds stress and that makes it go higher. I eat double fiber whole wheat at 15g of carbs.Those nu...
It's all a question of perspective - for me dealing with a T1 toddler, 196 is not high at all. It's not even outside his range. If you've got excess glucose in the system, the thing to do is... use it up! Exercise does that! And, understand that d...
Yes I did. ;)
Ok, I'll never test so soon after I eat. I went for a walk, took my sugar and it was 106!!! Wow. Thank you so much everyone. I take my situation verry serious. So I like to stay on top of it. I just seems crazy when you see a number like that. I'm...
I know that you probably did this, but did you wash your hands and retest?
Dealing with illness can make your blood sugars run higher.
ok well definitely give them a call during office hours about that.
wait and rest but my non doctor .02 I don't think 200 is worth an ER visit (I'm looking for a hard number to tell -i've always heard above 400 but i'm not a doctor) you can also ...
I know this was posted in the T2 forum, but I wanted to respond (even though I'm a T1).
First, don't panic. Yes, a BG of 196 mg/dl is high, but it's not dangerously high. For some perspective, I've been fighting a BG of over 250 mg/dl all day. I'...
I only checked because i was feeling out of whack, i have been dealing with a cold off and on and today was bad, so im going to think it was the combination of the cold and the new bread i have been eating.
I was told not to check my blood sugar until two hours after I ate, that before that, the readings are too close to just eating to be useful.
Never told me anything
don't panic. wait till 1 hr then retest. what did the doc tell you about when to go to the ER?
I have not see a number like this since may, the only thing i can think is this new bread i have been eating, i had one slice of it today, its whole weat and that is usually OK for me.. The only thing i can do is call the DR tomorrow. I will check...
Call your CDE or Dr. if you feel this is way to high for you. They should have outlined a range for you and a plan as to how to react to your numbers.
Ok, my normal fasting sugar is less than 95 and after i eat im never more than 130, i just ate a salad and some triskets and i was feeling strange, my sugar was 196, now i control my sugar with diet alone and have been doing amazing these past few...
