Why does a person's blood glucose level fluctuate everyday?
344618
Yes.  And diabetics have to check it often.

Are you a diabetic? please check your blood, because this happens to diabetic people.

Depending on the glucose level, you could be pre-diabetic or diabetic. You may be able to lower this level through exercise and a healthier diet.

Your normal blood sugar should be around 80-130 according to some sources. Another source that I found said between 70-115, but the 70 sounds a little low. It is different for every person as to what blood glucose concentration he / she can tolerate. Normally though, anything above the 120-130 range would indicate a high reading.

I am not a nurse or doctor,however,I have been diabetic (type 1) for 36 years. A normal blood sugar reading is between 80 and 120, At 190 sugar spills into your urine. That's when you become thirsty, beyond belief, and start to dehydrate. You will know every washroom in the city because of constant urination. I have been hospilized w/ a reading of about 1200. That was with taking insulin. I had dental work done, and the infection got the best of me. Your reading shows you that your sugar is high, but it is the way the sugar affects your organs that can be fatal. When I had my episode, my potassium levels were screaming high,my kidneys had shut down,I lost the vision in one eye from such a low blood pressure. I was in a coma for a day before anyone found me. I remained so for an additional five days. During that time I suffered a heart attack. Diabetes can be hard to control, even with insulin. Sometimes it becomes more complicated because of the insulin. If you can manage it without..DO IT! Get on a diet recommended by a dietition, get yourself a glucometer to check your sugar at home frequently. Exercise. Show your family the way to deal with it should they eventually have it. Your circulation is compromised, affecting your legs and feet, eyes, and kidneys, skin. High sugar means you will have a harder time fighting infections. Your teeth and gums will need extra care-and you are the only one that can do it. Don't become blind or on dialysis because you can't pass up a candy bar or a chunk of cake. your family needs you, and when you look at their smiling faces, you'll be grateful to be with them. I know I am telling you scary things. I wish someone had really explained to me HOW these things could come to pass. It's because it affects the smallest,tiniest blood vessels in your body. You don't always "just die" from diabetes. You could live a long time with what it can do to you. Good luck to you. I would be so proud of you if you could turn this thing around to become incredibley healthy. This would be the time to do that. If you see that your sugar is rising,for no apparent reason, such as large meal,eating fruit,etc.,call your doctor. It may be from a sinus infection, earache,cut that won't heal. The infection raises your sugar, your sugar makes it difficult to get rid of the infection. And so it goes..round and round. Don't wait for a huge spike in your numbers.

Blood sugar variation from second to second!

if you value your health..see a doctor. I suspect it's related to your sugar level.

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

Check your bloodsugar 4 to 6 times a day, OR MORE. Get on an eating plan with your doctor or dietician. Learn to use "sliding scale" insulin. Everyone can do it and it's very effective. I've been diabetic for 16 years and my hemoglobin A1c has always been between 5.0 to 5.7, with the last being 5.4 It IS possible to be in perfect control. Talk to your physician about it, and if your physician is unwilling GET A NEW DOCTOR!!!

This could be a result of a medical condition such as Diabetes, I would consult with my medical Dr. soon. Be sure to fast before seeing the Dr. to get an accurate blood sugar reading, you can almost guantee that is one of the first things they will check first.

Like all things in medicine it is usually clear cut - if you're sugar is sky high and you are acutely ill, and you fit the profile, you are almost certainly type 1. If your sugars creep up over years, and you feel fine, and you fit the profile, you're almost certainly type 2. Then there's the in betweeners. Blood tests can determine how much insulin the body still produces. (Early in type 1, the body may still produce insulin. This is the "honeymoon period.") Usually, though, it's pretty clear

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.

I created a thread answering this question on another message board recently.  That can be seen here:\n\nhttp://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=24638&t=246909&\n\nBasically, I wear a pump.  It infuses insulin into me continuously, and when I eat, I type in the amount of carbohydrates I am eating so I can get a larger amount of insulin to cover for it.\n\nI test my blood sugar 8-10 times a day.\n\nI have to carry my pump, syringes, extra insulin, meter, and glucose tabs with me all the time in case I go low or high.\n\nI see my doctor for blood work every 3 months of so.  Lately it has been less.

Over time the fluctuation in blood sugar levels causes damage to various systems of the body.  In this case the peripheral nerves and blood vessels are affected.  The nerves to the feet and extremities often slowly die resulting in a diabetic nephropathy (death of nerves).  As such diabetics may knock or damage their legs and not realise.\n\nAlso diabetics tend to have other chronic diseases and may be on drugs to thin their blood such as warfarin.  As such they would bruise more easily and extensively.  In the UK diabetics are entitled to regular free chiropody checks to make sure their feet are ok.\n\nThere is not much that can be done really to my knowledge.  Aim for tighter glucose control but often the damage has already been done.  However the glucose control is still very important for all the rest of the body's systems.

A blood sugar imbalance is either hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic.  That means your blood glucose level is either above or below the normal level.  The normal level is about 80-120.  A high blood glucose level may be indicative of diabetes.\n\nSee a doctor.

A lot has to do with fluctuations in your blood sugar levels after eating lunch.

It very possibly could be your diet.  If you eat a lot of carbs the first part of the day, you will "crash" around 2 p.m.  That means the carbs raises your blood sugar then it rapidly falls about 4 hours later.  Keep a jar of peanut butter around to snack on or eat several small meals a day instead of one or two big ones. This will keep your metabolism at a more even keel throughout the day.
