It’s me again and I’ve started checking blood sugars again even though my doctor and on here was recommended to leave it. But I’m sure something isn’t right my last hba1c was 3 weeks ago and came back at 35 from 42. Since then I’ve found it hard to just not check as it’s well known here I suffer anxiety and finding this really hard to accept my levels are normal range because they seem to be jumping around a lot. I was testing one whole week last week and it was looking ok but this morning I had a good fasting number 5 and then got up an hour later and still had t eaten and it was 5.9. Had some eggs and bacon and then it was 6.4 2 hours later I really thought it would be lower like it has been the other week. Why would it suddenly jump up it days like this I really want another hba1c done but I know my doctor won’t do it. Why does it rise even with no food????
If I said to you, that what you are concerned with, is really good and not a lot to worry about.
All your readings are good. They are in normal levels or just above.
Blood glucose levels fluctuate for many reasons including anxiety and stress, your sleep, your brain functions, with how you feel. And everything in between yesterday's readings and todays.
If you are on a two days fast, it will fluctuate within your current hba1c levels. , rising a little, falling a little. These are not spikes and sugar crashes.
Hormones will also vary your readings. So if someone annoys you, and you get a little angrier, your hormones will either raise your BG levels or lower, both slightly.
It is usually food and drink that will spike your BG levels.
Fasting BG levels can be different from day to day, again only small changes, it is the overall trend downwards that is important. I would advise the testing around meals to see how you are coping with food. Especially carbs and sugars. The under 2mmols after 2 hours rise is okay. Whereas over 2mmols is something to be wary of.
Testing is important but it shouldn't dominate your life. And if your BG levels are within or just above normal, there is nowt to worry about. You are doing great, as far as I can see.
