Hi ladies
For quite some time now i have had strange blood sugar readings
fasting - 120 to 134 mg/dl
PP - 116 to 120 mg/dl
what do you think these numbers indicate ? fasting more than PP readings.
ever since the hormon drops i have had a strange stomach dumping experience after i have food, my stomach feels terribly empty 2-3 hrs after eating and i get light headed...i feel better after eating
do i have diabetes ?
Eu não sei o que significa PP, mas seu glicose em jejum indica que você está pré-diabético. Então, não, você não tem diabetes, mas pode controlá-lo com os alimentos que come e talvez com exercícios.
Thank you for your insight Sochima.
PP stands for post parandial...the 2 hours after food reading.
Normally for everyone PP is higher than fasting. it was for me too till i started having stomach problems after a significant drop in hormones a year or two back.
As leituras do menopausado soam incríveis para mim! Seu nível de açúcar no sangue pode variar, mas desde que varie dentro das faixas seguras, você está bem! Todas essas faixas são boas, A MENOS que sejam suas leituras em jejum, ou seja, você não comeu nada após a meia-noite e também não comeu quando acordou até testar o açúcar. Mesmo assim, NÃO é ruim.
Maybe discuss this with your doctor from what you saying its always best to get checked out a fasting blood sugar should range from 70-120 after eating it can go up but after two hrs back to normal doc says mine is border line due to hormones it can happen in menopause from what i understand but always get checked at least your a1c levels
Hi crosado, thanks for your reassurances. Yes , I didnt have anything to eat for 10 hours before the fasting reading.
Prior to this i couldnt get a fasting test done coz i used to eat every 2 and a half to 3 hours....even at night.....i wake up to feel my body in tremours and the first thing i do after i brush my teeth is eat...i feel better then.
now i can push ahead my first morning meal to 7 or 8 am at the most
yes monique, i thought too that i should get my a1c test done...that would be more reflective but they are costly around here and my husband is just fed up with all the medical bills
Eu passei por isso e, quando comia, me sentia melhor e as tremedeiras paravam. Eu tinha tanto medo que continuava comendo até que as tremedeiras parassem completamente. O que eu deveria ter feito era comer uma quantidade razoável de proteína e carboidrato e então esperar 15 minutos para que funcionasse! Meus hormônios estavam caindo e meu açúcar no sangue estava caindo rapidamente. Eu levava comprimidos de glicose e barras de noite, além de levar sempre comigo um sanduíche de manteiga de amendoim, por medo de meu açúcar no sangue cair. Desenvolvi hipoglicemia durante duas das minhas gravidezes; eu estava tão mal que meu açúcar no sangue realmente caía enquanto eu comia! Eu raramente conseguia levá-lo acima de 70. Agora, alguns meses são piores do que outros.
I would highly recommend working with a dietician who is knowledgeable about getting your blood sugars under control, helping your gut and balancing your horomones. The fasting seems a bit high...your body is trying to tell you something.
Yes, wanna, Im worried about the whole thing. Thats why wanted to share. thanks
good luck and keep us posted...
You thought the same as me i believe fasting is between 70 to 120 right i think thats what i read
