Does anybody know much about low blood sugar levels ? My diabetes test is Friday. But the doctor told me to check my blood sugar to see what it was. I had my aunt do it. Doctor told me it should be 170-200 right after I ate. 140-160 2-3 hours after I ate. And that if I didn’t eat then it should be 80-100. I got sick on my way to my aunts so I ate. Then I checked it 30 mins after eating and it was 103. Instead of 170 range like she suggested normal would be.
I’m a diabetic. I control mine with diet now but 3 years ago insulin was my best friend because metformin is my enemy.
That 140-160 2-3 hours after you eat is a bit high to be honest. It should be sitting at that 80-100 2-3 hours after eating and 140-160 at 30 minutes to an hour afterwards. If you’re sick you could get a high or a low depending on what it is that you ate as well. Heavy carbs spike blood sugar, not enough carbs can make you suffer a low.
Honestly it from what I’m reading here you’ll do fine on your glucose test, but what gets a lot of people is your fasting number is too high, so this week have a healthy snack before bed so you don’t suffer from pre dawn ketones and end up with a high fasting number, which depending on the doctor is anything over 100. Carrots and hummus, crackers and peanut butter or cheese work well to maintain normal levels overnight. Good luck!
@fairykarmamomma, thank you ! I hope my test is good! I don’t want any issues with this pregnancy like I had with my last one. I ate two bean burritos 30 mins before checking it. So I expected it to be some higher than 103. But I’m going to stay positive an maybe my test will come back good lol.
@kayla.lawson, it’s very likely you were suffering from a low and the food brought you back on track to a pretty perfect. That does happen too.
i have hypoglycemia. my blood sugar sits at a normal range of 70 and will sometimes go down into the 50s. 103 isnt a bad bloodsugar at all its a pretty normal one .
@mom4m, yes but it shouldn’t be that low just after I ate.
@fairykarmamomma, Yes. I’m a carbawhore 😂. I love my carbs.
@kayla.lawson, how’s your thyroid, it sounds like you have one helluva metabolism
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant. My fasting sugar was supposed to be in the 60-95 range. And 1 hr after eating a meal it was supposed to under 140. So 140-160 2-3 hours after a meal seems very high to me 🤔 I’m not a doctor of course, but that’s when I would talk to other doctors for second and third opinions.
