Time for insulin!  Needing insulin is a natural progression of the disease, and most people with type 2 end up on it eventually.  Diet, exercise and pills are not enough at this point probably.  Talk to your doctor about going on insulin.  It's nothing to be afraid of.

It may not be hyperglycemia but rather an acute sensitivity to blood sugar levels.  If you are not eating at all during that three hour period and then the headache comes on, this is a good indication.  You are probably eating to get rid of the headache after those three hours which spikes up your blood sugar level and then it steadily declines as the hours go by.  Try beginning your day with a breakfast of whole grain carbs and protein.  Then make sure that you have a small snack before lunch.  (A few crackers, a slice of cheese) just make sure that the snack is not simple sugars like candy or juice which will only spike your sugars.  Continue to have these small snacks in between meals and just cut a little out of your main meals to compensate for the calories that you ate in the snack.  Then your blood sugar levels will be more steady rather than doing a "roller-coaster" all day long.

The glucose test if I´m not mistaken shows you the levels of blood sugar you have at the moment, so, if (not eating nor drinking for a period of 12 hours) you show a glucose blood level of over 108mg , than it´s a sign you probably have a problem in your pancreas which is the organ responsible for sugar metabolism, it´s a sign it´s metabolism is too slow, or in other words, that you may be suffering from diabetes. The test may also be used as a way of control on a diabetics diet, so that by making a table of values - glucose values attached to each kind of food, you might then control your own levels. The glucose is high when over 110mg or so. Again, I´m no doctor, but my mother was a diabetic, so it may still be useful info for you. Go see Your doctor to confirm what i´ve just told you and be sure of it ok? Regards, gabriel.

Limit your carb intake. The body turns all carbs into sugar. With simple carbs; sugar, honey, syrup, etc. the body converts these quickly causing your blood sugar to spike so avoid these. Complex carbs like rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. take longer to convert so your blood sugar doesn't spike, but it will still go up. You also have to be careful not to eat too much protein. Protein won't effect your blood sugar, but will effect your kidneys which are already working overtime trying to get rid of the excess sugar. Make an appointment and talk with a dietitian. In the meantime practice portion control. That's where most of us get in trouble. 1/2 Cup is a serving of starch like corn, beans, pasta, potatoes. 1 Cup is a serving of raw veggies and 1/2 Cup cooked veggies = a serving. 1 oz. of meat = 1 serving of meat. Watch your diet and talk with a dietitian and you should be able to control your diabetes without having to go on meds. OH and always carry some hard candy with you in case your blood sugar gets too low. Good luck with this.

Need to take several blood tests for blood sugar. Start with a fasting one (12 hr fasting). Best to consult a doctor if in doubt

You should always eat something, or drink some OJ, when you take your insulin.  If you continue to have such low numbers, and your doctor doesn't do anything, get another opinion.  Your blood sugar level should never go that low.  Also make sure that your glucometer is properly calibrated.\n\nAs far as snacks go, the best thing to do IS to have small snacks between your meals and before bed.  That keeps your metabolism going.  Try a couple pretzels and a piece of cheese, or some apple and peanut butter.  Always make sure that you eat protein when you eat carbs.  The protein keeps you from spiking your blood sugar.

A normal blood sugar level is between 80 - 100.  You should be checked out by an endocrinologist (specialist-Diabetes).\nA A1C hemoglobin blood test should be run...that will tell the doctor your blood sugars averages for the last 3 months.\nWATCH YOUR CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE...EX: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.. Good luck

Could be a whole laundry list of reasons why this might be happening from your blood sugar being too low, not following a balanced diet, to something more serious.  Best bet would be making an appointment with a Health care professional that can properly answer this question for you.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS   CHECK BLOOD GLUCOSE 30 MIN'S B/4 MEALS.  TAKE THE MEDICATION ACCORDING TO THE DOCTORS INSTRUCTIONS.  IN MY CASE I TAKE 1 SHOT B/4 EACH MEAL AND AT BEDTIME.   KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL OR IT WILL CONTROL YOU.  GOOD LUCK

My husband has had a blood sugar od 900, was admitted to hospital for 3 days, took that long to bring it down, (because of snacks he wasn't supposed to have) but is fine, his blood sugar will say high on glucometer 3 or 4 times a week, which means over 600+

Hyperglycemia. Glucose overload! Eaten too many sweets too soon.

Usually oral medication and/or insulin is the treatment- but have you seen a doctor and been diagnosed with diabetes?  You should be monitoring your blood sugar several times daily depending on what your doctor has recommended, and if your blood suger is over a certain level, you should be using insulin that your doctor has prescribed for you.  If your blood sugar isn't all that high, diet and exercise can also bring it down into the healthy range.

Especially in Type 2 diabetics, there is considerable variation in response to insulin. You are still producing some, but your production rate and the response of your body cells (actually about 2/3 of them) is such that you need that long. \n\nIt is too long, really, and you should discuss with your doctor whether you should go on medication of some kind. One of the sulfonylureas is probably what will be prescribed; these have the effect of making ht epancreas output more insulin than before at the same level of blood glucose. They usually have little other effect, and they may be enough to bring your glucose down to reasonable levels in a reasonable time. \n\nOr you can rely on exercise to do the controlling, but there may not be enough time available for that...

Have the doctor check your thyroid function.  It could be functioning too fast (hyperthyroidism) causing your metabolism to be too high.

I have asked this question of every professional I have encountered.  I can't get an answer from anyone that makes sense.  Normally, I get the "deer caught in the headlights" look when ever I ask.\n\nI am one who suffers with the dawn effect.  It really upsets me to wake up with higher sugar than when I go to bed.  I think what is happening is the body sees the glucose level drop in the predawn hours and it converts something into glucose.  It keeps right on making sugar until you wake up.  I have tried a couple of experiments including setting my alarm for 3:00 AM and testing. In me it seems to give credence to my theory.  Additionally I have eaten a small piece of dark chocolate before bedtime.  I do mean a piece, not three pounds.  Dark chocolate is supposed to help with insulin usage.  The dark chocolate also seems to help me.  \n\nI am going to put the question on my watch list.  Hope we can both get a good answer.

The increase in blood sugar may be due to either the Dawn effect or the Somogyi Effect.\n\nThe dawn effect is caused by not having enough insulin in your body at night.  While we sleep, glucose is released into our body as a response to hormone stimuli.  The release of these hormones to repair and maintain your body causes an increase in blood glucose levels during the first hours of the morning.  If you take insulin, you should increase your insulin dosage at night or take it later in the evening.\n\nThe Somogyi effect differs from the dawn effect because it is caused by too much insulin at night, and there is a dramatic decrease in blood glucose between 2-4 am.  Because of this drop, the body compensates by increasing glucose in the body, thus causing the high blood suger upon awakening.  The only way to differentiate between the two is to check your blood sugar between 2-4 am.  If you do not currently take insulin, then this probably is not the problem because it is caused by too much insulin at night.
