Am I diabetic? | From shaw22 [Log on to view profile] | on 2007-09-07 |

Greetings:
I am getting some crazy reading which don't make sense. Average readings posted below
Fasting glucose 132 mg/dl (in the morning after sleep 8 hours from last food/drink)
2 hours after breakfast (two black tea 1/4 tsp sugar in each; Half cup of oats boiled in one cup of 2% milk) 117 mg/dl
2.5 hours after lunch (two cold cut turkey sandwich, lettuce, onion), water and cup of black tea 77 mg/dl
Am I diabetic or pre diabetic?
I get on treadmil for 30 minutes - average 3 times a week. 5' 10' - 170lbs - not overweight. active
I feel hungry, especially in the afternoon - but control my urge to eat.
Dinner I typically eat heavy -
one plate rice, meat and a fruit and/or sweets
I am easily getting tired these days. especially in the afternoon
It looks like my glucose count is lower during day time and higher at night. Is it normal
Should I use any other methods/timing to measure ?
Also, should I start cinnamon ?
Thanks for the advise

Your diabetic readings make no sense.
Most probably you are using a faulty meter.
Get yourself checked at a reputed laboratory and post the results here.

Hello Murthy & Mohla,
The readings are correct. I had done one through my primary care physician - that is a fasting test and it came out to 133
Then I purchased accucheck and was using it. I have a friend who uses Ascensia Breeze made by Bayer. When I noticed the counts were funky, I used his machine - side by side and got the almost same result - that is his read 76 and mine read 77 - from the same drop of my blood.
So the question is:
Is it possible that for some people the sugar count spikes at night when the person is inactive and sleeping after a hearty meal?
I am active during the day and
eat very moderate. don't snack and that could be keeping the sugar count low?
I am starting to think that I am not diabetic
Pls take a look at my other vitals posted earlier, if it helps
Thanks!

I still can't believe it.
The readings are against conventional wisdom.
To make sure get your post lunch reading through a proper biochemical lab test.
If the same pattern is repeated, you are special.
