Question on diabetes blood sugar levels -?
My cousin 46 yr old Male has had type 2 diabetes for many years now, probably 15 20 possibly. He said his blood sugar level from the test readings always shows 205 210, sometimes spiking higher after a bad meal, into the upper 200's. He said it reads in the low 200's no matter if he takes his " diabetes medication" pills he is on or not. Is this bad long term? Is he risking bad side effects running blood sugar levels this high constantly? If so, I am wondering why the doctors haven't put him on insulin injections by now? Maybe steady readings in the 200's is ok to live with long term, I don't know.It worries me because he's been going like this for many years now I notice he zones out sometimes, almost like he is comatose or can't hear you talking to him, like he zones out he told me that a couple times over the last few years, he actually had an occasional incident where he tried to talk or move or do something, but its like he was in slow motion or frozen, and couldn't react, or talk, or move properly. I didn't really understand it but it sounded pretty darn scarey. I do notice he seems to 'zone out' alot at home in his living room, he will lay down or sit in the recliner with his eyes open, say staring at the tv, but its almost like he is NOT watching it really, or not hearing it sometimes I will say " Jeez I never knew this or that" after something was on the TV in front of us, and he'll say " What, what are you talking about" . I used to think he as just not that bright, but now I am starting to think he is spacing out from long term high sugar levels. What will be the
Gestational diabetes, blood sugar level 104 2 hours post breakfast?
I was diagnosed with GD at 29 weeks.I have the dietitian's appointment tomorrow.Is a level of 104 2 hours post breakfast considered normal?
Type 2 diabetes, blood sugar levels started fluctuating recently between 60 pts and 200 pts per 24 hr. period.
My father has had type 2 diabetes for a few years. What's a good blood sugar level for him to shoot for and sustain. One problem is the fact that his doctor is pretty useless except that he can prescribe diabetes medication, and dad won't switch doctors. Finding the right med.s and dosage is too. But this last week dad's blood suger levels started fluctuating wildly, as low as 30 and as high as 200, he can't figure out why. His levels have never been lower than 60 nor higher than 140 or so. He has a very good dietary regiment and keeps to it...except on Sun.s he has desert in a fairly moderate amount, but he has always done that and his levels have never been this high, nor have they fluctuated so greatly. I am very concerned and I'd appreciate it greatly if someone experienced in this could clue me into these recent blood sugar fluctuations. What could be going on? Dad's Dr. appts isn't for another 4 6 months, as little help as that might be. Thank you so much.
Diabetes blood sugar levels?
I have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabeties. I'm not on medication yet. My blood sugar is 15 in the morning raising to about 24 25 in the evening Is this OK?
Why would a type 2 diabetes blood sugar level be high in the morning but way lower throughout the day?
My grandpa will wake up in the morning and find his blood sugar level which I believe is what he measures with type 2 diabetes, correct me if im wrong to be high, like 150 160, but he will go to his job which he does in the morning and comes home around 1pm most days, and when he measures it it is down to 110 130 already.He has been continuing a very good diet full of fiber and fruit and vegetables, and doesn't eat late night snacks anymore which makes this more confusing but from day 1 he has had this problem.He asked his doctor and he seemed clueless. Anyone know anything about this? ? ?sorry if i mixed up the details i dont know what kind of doctor hes seeing or anything
