I am 30, overweight and had gestational diabetes (diabetes when your pregnant). I dont have health insurance and cant get my blood sugar tested. Is dizziness a sign of diabetes? I am dizy after I eat sweets and last night after I ate pasta.
Dizziness is not usually a sign of diabetes though it can be a side effect of anti glycemic tablets if they drop your sugar level too much.
Pregnancy can often cause women to feel faint because circulation problems caused by pregnancy can lead to the brain being starved of oxygen.
Eating pasta or any heavy meals can occupy your blood moving food around so it can lead to a lack of sufficient oxygen to the brain.

While type 2 diabetes cannot be reverse, complications can be prevented by maintaining a healthy body weight, eating several small meals a day and exercising regularly. Take diabetes medications as prescribed by a doctor with advice from a family nurse practitioner in this free video on diabetes treatments.

Hi.. Blood Glucose level at 113 mg/dl may appear after taking meal or in fasting conditions also….! 113 mg/dl means 113 milligram glucose is present in per 100 ml of blood….! Normal range of blood sugar is in Fasting condition 80-120 mg/dl and in after 2 hrs of taking lunch PP( i.e. Post Pendriel) it may be rise up-to 100-140mg/dl.
mainly Insuline harmone regulates the bood sugar level in our body… so disorder of blood sugar mainly concert with this harmone. if blood sugar level is 110-120 mg/dl or more then 120 in fasting condition then u should go through GTT( glucose tolerance test ). i hope this information will realy helps u..! bye

I’m a 16 year old male. I have a brother who has type 1 diabetes. I was put on 60 mg of Prednisone for poison ivy on my face. I was put on that 5 days ago, and am now done with my treatment. At about day 3 of my treatment, I noticed more frequent urination. I tested my bloodsugar with my brother’s tester, and I had a reading of above 500. Later that night I was 495. In the morning following I was 219. Later that day after continuing my normal habits, I was 184.
I’m concerned because I don’t know if the sugar readings are because of my eating habits [Lots and lots of soda, all the time. And I had ice cream and dinner before I tested and was 500.]
I’ve been testing for ketones and have come up negative. I’m just wondering if I’m over reacting by thinking I may be diabetic myself and it is just a reaction to the Prednisone. Should I wait for a while to see if the frequent urination, chest pain, and high blood sugar [all known side effects of the drug] are nothing more than side effects
Something I really should mention; I myself am not a diabetic. I have tested my blood sugar years ago and was in normal range all the time.
And about 500 blood sugar having me in the emergency room [It was RIGHT after I had a bowl of ice cream, two pepsis, a cheese buger, and chips] And also, just a side story, my younger brother, when first diagnosed with diabetes, had a blood glucose level of 1,700. Yeah, rediculous, right? He was in THIRD GRADE. haha.
You should not bother testing yourself when you have just had a heavy meal. Test in the morning, before eating anything. That is the number that will tell you if you have a problem with sugar. It is wise to check this way regularly (3-4 times a year) if the disease is in your family, but the readings taken right after a meal are meaningless, and checking several times a day is really excessive.
You should consider improving your diet for the sake of your general health. And there is some strong evidence (not proof) that eating a lot of sugar can hasten the onset of diabetes in people who are genetically susceptible.
Prenisone has very nasty side effects when used long term, but the short-term use you describe should not cause any major trouble.
Test before breakfast. If the reading is over 124, test again before breakfast the next day. If it’s still over 124, go to a doctor. Do not test at any other time of day! If your before-breakfast reading is normal, don’t test again for 3 months.

What is the blood sugar level?
The blood sugar level is the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is also known as serum glucose level. It is expressed as millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
Normally, blood glucose levels stay within narrow limits throughout the day: 4 to 8mmol/l. But they are higher after meals and usually lowest in the morning.
In diabetes the blood sugar level moves outside these limits until treated. Even with good control of diabetes, the blood sugar level will still at times drift outside this normal range.
Why control blood sugar levels?
For reasons that are not well understood, when very high levels of blood glucose are present for years, it leads to damage of the small blood vessels.

Controlling blood sugar is a crucial part of managing diabetes, and a new insulin treatment is offering patients a simple and convenient way to keep those levels under control.
