Hi.what is the highest your blood sugar has ever been? Mine has been up to 9.5 only when I eat the wrong thing. But usually is between 6.5 and 7.9 after eating. As being pre diabetic I think that 9+ is too high. What do you think?
 
hi Lilliepop im type 2 and jan my highest blood sugar was 37. something and even now I get 17.2 anything under 8.5 2 hrs after eating is fine I think but im still learning

Hi. I'm worried because I'm pre diabetic that's what my doctors says anyway. But haven't got much faith in her, she's far to flippant about it.
 
I don't think 9 is too high. I;m not prediabetic yet, just high risk atm, but even mine go to 11 if I eat the wrong thing.
 
I don't know my highest reading as it read 'hi' which is over 33.3 plus I had +++keytones as well


Type 2 diagnosed 24/01/2013.
Novomix 30, Victoza, metformin 2000mg sr (but not taking them as they play havoc with my insides,
 
I am gutted if mine is over 6.0 2 hours after eating which is very rare

I'm a worrier too, so I know what you mean.... but it's good to get to know your own levels and what works well for you.
 
mine was 30 something on diagnosis and ive had a 16mmol when not well, very unhappy if i get a double number x

i dont consider them low i consider them to be slightly higher than normal, and its controlled by diet only. Ideally 2 hours after meals i aim for mid to low 5s and before meals 4.5 to 5..2 the only issue i have is highs in the morning my wake up bg is around 5.8 to 6.4 but always comes down to low 5s after breakfast

Yes. it was my mistake.. 6.0 postpranial is not low... but your levels are like mine and I'm only high risk atm
so you're doing good
 
I do feel better when mine is in the 6s not so tired but that is were I like them to stay. Also I used to have 60g carbs aday and felt terrible so have upped it to 80-100 now and feel better. But everyone is differant. Also I find eating almost what I like but on a small plate 9.5inch hard to get but you can get them on ebay. The plate looks like you have a lot of food ;)

Hi,
My sister has prediabetes, normally she tests 6.2 and whenever eats anything wrong it goes up to 9.5, however it is better if you guys avoid eating anything wrong as there are chances you might develop type 2 diabetes and also be at risk to develop heart attack or stroke.

Really?? Pre- diabetes I would say that after 2 hours that is diabetes not pre, but saying that I'm no doctor but that is rather high

Are you taking the past pranial test 2 hours after starting to eat or ONE hour.... At 2 hours your reading is too high!
 
Had a nasty chest infection and was above 33.... With +++++ ketones but was still wide awake and felt just a bit funny! doctors could not believe it!!!
