Hi how are feeling?
If I have my conversion right, I have before diagnosis and once at a doctors had numbers that high and maybe even higher.
If it is RH, then the figures are typical.
As a pancake is made of wheat flour, which is 100% carbs, then that is far too much.
The spike is caused by having very little insulin response.
What time gap between the two meals?
Because if it i is RH, I take after the meat pie (pastry) and sweet potato(starch) is foods again that I can't eat, that your blood glucose was in normal levels after two hours. Obviously depending on portion size and other ingredients your level was on the way back down. For example, you probably spiked between half hour and an hour then your insulin response took over and lowered your levels down to normal.
I go hypo between three hours and four hours depending on the amount of carbs and how much I have eaten.
Get your bloods done, I did get misdiagnosed with T2 before my true diagnosis.
And if you have eaten before the blood is taken that will distort the results, if you have RH, as your fasting levels and Hba1c levels should be in normal range.
Hope that helps.
Keep safefeeling
Hi
@Kpop7,
This guide has a section on diagnosing diabetes that gives an indication of what sugar levels to expect, my partner had a few high readings, he is not diabetic, and when I asked the doctor about it she told me non diabetic people can have the odd high that might be caused by stress, illness, or just an unusual response. There is a lot more protein, fat and fibre in the dinner you describe, which would reduce any spike in your blood sugar levels, as compared to just pancakes which are largely carbohydrate - you didn't mention if you had any toppings with them.
Did you test yourself before eating? It is good to know if the rise in sugar level is from the food you just ate, or if it was already high/low beforehand.
You could test more often to figure out how different foods affect you in different ways, and take note if you get high readings often, but it would be best to get/wait for your hba1c result - as that will tell if your sugars have averaged higher than normal over a longer period, although with reactive hypoglycemia keep in mind that the hba1c might look normal as the average between extreme highs and lows could fall within the normal range.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but hopefully your doctor and blood work will give you some answers
Thank you for your response! I didn’t check before. I just checked an hour after eating becuase I actually thought I had low blood sugar. I felt Kindof sick so I was shocked by the number. I’m going to start testing more and I’m going to get my A1C done tomorrow! I’ll definitely keep y’all updated. Thank you for ur help!
