BLOOD SUGAR.
BEFORE YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR. |
|
|
| When your body is functioning normally, it automatically checks the level of sugar in blood. If the level is too high or too low, it will adjust the sugar level to return it to normal. However for combination of reasons it is not working for all of us. Our body is loosing it’s ability to self-control blood sugar level. Most of the time suger level is going up, causing diabetes. In some cases sugar level is dropping below normal causing severe blood sugar deficiency. |

Of course doctor can measure blood glucose during an office visit. However, levels change from hour to hour and for someone who visits the doctor only on occasional base it will do not much good and even in some cases it will misrepresent the actual picture. So it will be very beneficial for you if you will do some initial work of measuring blood sugar level yourself prior to your first visit to the doctor.
What blood sugar level used to be considered normal? It depends of time of the day and the last time you eat.
Pre-meals 80-120 mg/dl
Post-meals--2 hours less than 180 mg/dl
Bedtime 100-140 mg/dl
There are plenty of blood sugar monitors on a market nowadays. As a non-profit organization Medgrip.com doesn’t promote any particular brand or store. You can make your choice based on your tolerance to pain and your budget. Some of new devices are almost painless, pretty accurate despite that they use minimal amount of blood and they are not really expensive.
So after purchasing blood sugar monitor make your testing 3 times a day for about a week. You will have a clear picture for yourself and for your doctor as well.
