Non Diabetic Blood Sugar After Coffee

[aman8080]

I just checked my blood sugar using a SD Codefree 10 minutes after having a cup of coffee with 3 tablets of silver spoon sweetener (I have OCD), I'm non diabetic, and it came back at 8.8 mmol/L. Is this normal for a non diabetic?

Ten minutes is not long enough to tell if the coffee has had an effect. However 8.8 is quite a high number but this would depend on what you have eaten/drunk today, if you are on medications, if you have an infection or have been excercing. There may be many reasons.

We are not not doctors. If you suspect that you may have a problem with blood glucose levels then it is best you see your GP citing any symptoms you may have.

Sorry I've got enough stress going on such as an underlying type 1 bipolar disorder so I'm not going to see my gp because they want to avoid seeing me anyway.

My morning fasting sugar is 5.5 and 10, 1 hour after meal and 6.7, 2 hours after meal.

None of us here can help you. I am sorry, but you really do need to see a GP and tell them of your concerns.

Random readings will tell you little, I'm afraid.

If you are really concerned about your blood glucose levels then I suggest you learn the correct method of how and when to test along with a food and excercise diary. Even if you do all this it will be of no benefit unless you show your findings to your GP who would then decide to either investigate further or not. Only a doctor can give you a diagnosis. Good luck .
