Hey all,
Im new here. I dont think I have diabetes but im checking my self and looking for any advice. I get sysmptoms from what i think is anxiety, however, i am checking that it isn't diabetes.

I purchased a blood sugar monitor. Here are my first two readings:

After waking up (no food for 10 hours). Reading 5.1
1 hour after eating. Reading 6.6

From what i've read these seem ok? Can anyone confirm? Also I will check a few more times.

Thanks

Just done a third reading, this time 4.7 - about 2-3 hours after eating.

Yep looks perfect to me.

OK guys. Thanks for your replies!
I guess I can stop worrying, I guess it's anxiety :(
 
Re: Im checking myself for diabetes. Are these readings good

Just did a reading this morning. It's 3.8 (I had a lot off beer yday and not much food). So my readings:

After waking up (no food for 10 hours). Reading 5.1
1 hour after eating. Reading 6.6
4.7 - about 2-3 hours after eating.
3.8 - 11 beers and not much food hangover day

Would you suggest all levels are fine and to stop worrying?
 
Re: Im checking myself for diabetes. Are these readings good

Absolutely. Those numbers are perfect. From the numbers you have given, you definitely do not have diabetes.

Thanks Sam. I've been seeking peace of mind.
 
Re: Im checking myself for diabetes. Are these readings good

Hi. The low 3.8 reading is probably due to the beer. Yup, you don't have diabetes according to those readings.

How I wish I could achieve readings like yours, dco.

All the best to you, it's a joy to read some good positive replies.

Enjoy your life.

sigh....11 beers huh
 
Re: Im checking myself for diabetes. Are these readings good

Yeah. Don't know why anyone else isn't alarmed by that.

Listen, sorry to be blunt but that is ridiculously gluttonous and if diabetes isn't damaging your body the booze will. Please get help.

Alcohol/Ethanol is a legal and socially acceptable drug but doesn't mean it's something to play with
