Basically, you don't have enough glucose in your body to function adequately. Consider adding small amounts of fresh fruit to your lunches; fruit is good source of glucose without the fat or high calories you'd get from other stuff, like candy bars. \n\nDefinitely bring this up with your doctor. She should be able to tell you how to manage your diet better or if there is something else wrong.

You could be anemic or other possible ailments. Whether or not you had sugar or not that day is irrelevant if you have diabetes. Go see your doctor for a check-up. 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.

Most Dr. say the avarage should run between 80 to 180 if you are below 80 you get what my family calls weak trembles. (Eat a small spoon of sugar to get it up quick then eat a meal, sandwhich, fruit and veg) If you get above 180 you are too high best thing to do then is to drink lots of water, and take your insulin which your Dr. should have set your amounts at and eat a small orange or something so you don't drop to far. Diabietes is very tricky. My oldest has had it from the time she was 10, she is 22 now. My daughter wants me to add when you are high drink 8 oz glasses of water every 30 min. It also depends on your Dr as what your blood sugars are. Type 1 and Type 2 carry different sugar levels.

yeah I agree with the information above, according to the research and with the doctors,\n\nyeah my friend, what ever you do, what ever you think it always affect your heart and your system will react upon your feelings, therefore if u feel so problematic and very emotional in dealing with your problems ur immuni system gets slow and you will more likely develop a desease.\n\nAnykind of disease, you might just wonder why you had diabetes when ur not a sugar user, its because ur system become weaker all day long when ur sad.\n\nSo if I were you always smile and laugh as well, my advice is that don't take problem seriously. Just always fell easy and believe In god to strengthen and longer your life.\n\nIt will take 356 mucles for you to frown but it will only take 16 muscles for you to smile.\n\nso cheer up and always smile, its a good medicine

Levels up to 100 are considered normal, and levels between 100 and 126 are considered pre-diabetes. You did the right thing by rushing him over to the ER.  With proper treatment they will be able to lower down to normal, do further testing to see what is going on, and provide the correct regimen for controlling it.

For years doctors told me you do not get diabetes from eating a lot of sweet stuff (sugar) but I no longer believe that. I used to use 3 tsp. of sugar in every cup of hot beverage. I now find that doing that put a lot of stress on the pancreas.\n\nI cut way down on sugar, my diabetes is under control-recently my dr. took me off of diabetic medication and I have lost 22 lbs!\nOthers who have stopped certain brands of diabetic oral medication have also experienced weight loss. Brochures that come with your prescription will often mention weight gain as side-effects and it is true! Ask your doctor, if you go on medication, if there is one that will not have that side effect. I got up to 188 lbs! My weight continues to decline!\n\nI scarffed down sweets much of my life-please try and wean yourself off of it-the price to your health is not worth it! Diabetes is now in eptidomic porportions in this country and we have to make choices that,in the end, effect us a life-time. marlyne B

When you eat simple carbohydrates such as the sweets you described you have a sudden elevation of your blood glucose or blood sugar level and you will feel really good.  Have you ever heard of a sugar buzz?  That's what they are referring to.  You may not always have this feeling but if you do, the problem is that it does not last long, because the body responds by the pancreas producing  a lot of insulin to stabilize the high sugar level.  This is a normal reaction by the body to maintain homeostasis or normalcy.  The problem the the sudden drop of blood sugar, you have feelings of sleepiness and being very tired.  \nThis is a normal body function.  But sometimes with diabetics this process is over exaggerated or doesn't work at all. So it you haven't done so already you probably should have a fasting blood glucose level to make sure everything is ok.  Talk to your doctor about it.  But what you are describing  sounds like your body  doing its job.  It's just always good to check things out.

sugar feeds you a rush and when you crash it is like a downer as you lose energy and that high feeling. you need something to eat that will slowly release sugar in your system. carrots are good. you might be diabetic

Blood sugar levels range from 60-120 these being acceptable levels.  Anything below 60 can cause hypoglycemia which is not acceptable due to the that one can go into a coma and suffer from seizure episodes. Then we look at the other side of the coin if the blood sugar goes way past ove 200 to 500 then a person can go into a coma and die.. So the best point of this situation is to follow your diet, exercise, take your blood sugars at least twice a day.. If they are not in good range then you shoud follow-up with your family physician for further evaluation. Best of luck to you.

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.

Normal blood sugar is between 4.0 -5.0 mmol/L

yeah i have no idea where you get 7.2. but you won't read this if your sugar is 7.2 right now.  Normal reading is 70-110.  This can fluctuate from stress like surgery or exercise (either up or down) and from food.   Your doctor can administer the oral glucose tolerance test, test a fasting sugar, and draw a HbA1c with is the average of the last 3 months of blood sugars.  In fact that 7.2 sounds more like that test.  If you are diabetic, you will start to see excessive eating, this due to your bodys cells telling you that they have glucose to process because it is all in you bloodstream and is unable to get into the cells due to lack of insulin.  Excessive urination, from your body's safety mechanism for purging glucose from the body throught the kidneys along with ketones when the sugar gets really high.  Finally excessive drinking, from being dehydrated from all the urination, also it lowers the bodys pH from ketosis. (ketones in blood).  For your last question about the speed of sugar entering the bloodstream, sugar and carbs entering the blood stream is delayed or slowed by anything that takes longer to digest (fats or protein) For example, a bag of skittles would raise you blood sugar faster than that chocolate.

Sounds to me like a doctor has been trying to scare you.   Your numbers are fine.   It makes me crazy to see people worried about varying between 80-130.   This tells me that SOMEone has been spooking them about diabetes.   Yes, diabetes is a big problem in our country, but it's also big business.   The profits involved in the testing devices and medication is tremendous.    Some companies will give you a free tester because you will then use their products (via prescription) for the rest of your life, and may not need them.\n\nTrue diabetics have blood sugars like mine, 400s up, or like my cousins, which go from 30 - 400 in one day.   It is irritating as heck to hear people fretting about their blood sugar going up to 130  (usually after eating a chocolate cake).    A doctor or someone is telling them they are potential diabetics, instead of guiding them toward more healthy eating habits.    I have seen this too often lately, and hope people will be responsible and get a second opinion before getting treatment for a disease they don't have.   \n\nGood luck to you!!!!

You need to see a doctor and get a glucose tolerance test.  That is a high fasting blood sugar and needs investigating...;
