What is the normal blood glucose level?
I am using an accucheck aviva meter. I know that the normal fasting level is 110 and under. but i am wondering what it should be through out the day while i am checking it about an hour after i eat. i had gestational diabetes and was told to monitor it after wards but was not told what the normal levels were.
a NORMAL readin is between 90 and 110. Go much lower than that is calld HYPOGLYCEMIA. This can casue dizzyness and fainting. If let untreated, hypoglycemia can casues coma and death. It can especially cause death if you faint while driving!
If your diabetes is under control, you reading shold be less than 120 after one hour after eating.
Otherwise, you readings will vary all over the place, depending on what you ate and when you ate it, and how much you exercised. It is therefore VERY important that you take your readings at the same time every day. Take an extra reading of you feel hypoclycemia -- nauseous, dizzy, confused, or "tingle" in your hands and feet (if you don't normally feel that way).
Most diabeteic take their readings JUST BEFORE meals on one day, and one hour AFTER meals on the next day, and alternate the cycle.
You treat hypoglycemia by eating something -- a glassl of orange juice, a couple of cookies, some cracker and milk, a small tub of yogurt. Most diabeteic also carry 3-4 hard SUGARED candies with them for just such emergencies -- like those hard butterscotch drops, or "Lemonheads".
Your doctor shoud occasionally take an A1C test. This test measures your AVERAGE blood sugar levels over a 90-day period. a NORMAL reading is between 5 and 6, showing that your AVERAGE reading was between 90 and 120 over the last 90 days.
If your A1C is higher than that, the doctro will want to adjust your diet or your meds to drop that A1C reading back to norma. he will then do another A1C test after 90 days.
