Diabetes Care: Blood Sugar, Diabetes and You

The battle against diabetes in the United States is an ongoing battle. Type 2 diabetes over 40 is more prevalent due to the rise in obesity and the sad shape of the typical American diet. This is because we eat more refined foods, have more fast food on a regular basis and get less exercise than ever before. Because of this, there is more need for diabetes care blood sugar education.

Foods that enter the body are converted into glucose, a sugar that furnishes energy for your cells. A hormone known as insulin is necessary to complete the process of making that energy available to your body. In type 2 diabetes, the cells become resistant to insulin and glucose builds up in the blood stream. This is what diabetics see when they measure their blood sugars with a glucose meter.

Insulin producing cells reside in the pancreas and a continuation of insulin resistance by the cells of the body cause the insulin producing cells to fail to produce enough insulin to control glucose levels. This condition is known as type 2 diabetes. A lot of factors contribute to the making of this condition. Here we will talk about diabetes care blood sugar control and how it can help you to manage diabetes.

Often fatty foods and foods high in saturated fat contribute to aggravating the diabetic condition. That’s why diabetes care nutrition is so important. Complex carbs like those found in fruits and vegetables, digest slower and release glucose more gradually as they digest. This is a great way to control the amount of glucose in the blood and helps the body better utilize the insulin it produces.

Another aspect of diabetes care blood sugar education if you are a diabetic is to make spot checks on your blood sugar levels at several times during the day. You can tell the effects certain foods have on your blood sugar and avoid spikes in blood sugar levels. There are many types of glucose meters available on the market. Pick one you like and use it as directed several times a day to tell what your levels are and record them for your doctor.

Some symptoms that you might encounter while performing diabetes care blood sugar checks:

1) Excessive thirst, urination or blurred vision. This is usually a sign of high blood sugar. Check for what you’ve recently ate or if you have been ill, your blood sugar could be elevated. Continue to take your medication and work with your doctor to get your levels back to normal.

2) Jitters, shakes or signs of weakness, These are signs of low blood sugar. Drink something that contains sugar like a pop (not diet) or orange juice, hard candy or the like to get your sugar level up quickly. If this happens after you take medication, it’s time to talk to your doctor about adjusting your medication or insulin.

Another good way to do diabetes care blood sugar control is to exercise. Walking every day is something a lot of diabetics do as it stimulates your body to produce its own insulin. So make exercise part of your blood sugar control program.

Controlling your blood sugar is critical to type 2 diabetes over 40. Take steps to keep yours in range. Test several times a day,  avoid fatty foods, consume more foods and vegetables and get some type of exercise every day. Keep yourself healthy and avoid the complications of diabetes.

causes for high blood sugar besides diabetes?

I recently had a fasting glucose test and my sugar was 109. My doctor says I am pre-diabetic. I am in shock since I excercise daily, eat only whole grains, veggies and fruit, nver drink sodas or eat fast food and am actually underwieght(105 lbs). Does anyone know of other reasons for the high level? I have been under stress lately from fear of losing my job. Could this cause the rise?

I wonder what the doctor thinks of someone who has a reading of 126, like me, and I am not diabetic?

109 is not that high.

A better way to check is a A1c test, it ives you a indication of what your sugar levels have been doing over the past 3 months or so. If that reading is over 7.5% then you are diabetic, while under 6% you are not diabetic, and in between you may be pre-diabetic.

I guess your doctor could say the whole world is either diabetic or “Pre-diabetic” in that they all have a chance of getting it some day. I would think a reading over 130 would be considered pre-diabetic, while a reading as low as yours would not be considered diabetic at all (with a supporting normal A1c test).

One test on one morning is not a great indication of your health. Perhaps if they took one test each monday for a month, then you will have an idea of your total health.
