ANything over about 15 mg/dL is considered hyperglycemic- Under about 4 or 5 would be considered hypoglycemic, though that would be an exceedingly rare condition in the absence of exogenous insulin.  Our laboratory does work on diabetes and uses mice as models- in general, 15 mg/dl is hyperglycemic, but mildly-quite easily diabetic mice can reach glucose levels of over 30.  Normal levels are 7-12.

Normal fasting level for blood sugar has been considered to be between 70 and 100.\n\nNormal, around 125 by 2 hours after a meal.\n\nSome sources have said they believe nerve damage begins to occur at a blood sugar level of 135 or more.  So I don't take 160 as being "good" -- not two hours after a meal.

What exactly is your question here? What type of diabetes are  you referring. Type 2, you would expect an elevated insulin level, especially in the early years.

The symptoms have been mentioned already: most common is thirst and urination, as a result of trying to satisfy the overwelming thirst.  You are borderline if your blood glucose is between 120 and 140.  If you go over 140 then you are diabetic.  "Normal" is 80 to 120 and that varies between individuals.  A simple blood glucose test will tell you what you need to know.  If you know anyone that has diabetes you can ask them to run the test on yourself and in less that one minute you will have your answer.  Blood glucose tests are usually done two hours after eating a meal.  If you get over 140 see a doctor, specifically an endocrinologist that deals with diabetic patients.\n\nGood luck.

Normal blood glucose upon waking should be relatively low.  Before eating, a normal healthy person should be between 70-110.  \n\nFind another doctor for a second opinion.  I tell you this because 4 years ago I was doing all of this same thing -- except because of a chronic dry mouth condition I didn't realize I was drinking more water.  I thought I had a bladder infection.\n\nMy doctor used my urine to check for bladder infection and ran another quick test to check for protein -- she reported to me in 10 mins that my bladder was fine -- it was Diabetes that was my problem.  \n\nI was 36 yrs old -- I had lost 45 lbs in 3 months because of a recent divorce and child custody issues.  I was stressed out after my husband just left, I had to sell our house, move from 1400 sq ft to 800 sq ft and figure out how to move on. \n\nI was put on oral meds -- because it was adult onset the dr assumed I had Type 2.  It wasn't working.  I found another dr and had more testing done -- it was discovered that I am actually Type 1, I am now insulin dependant.  I also have a second autoimmune disease:  Sjogrens -- which will give all the other symptoms you are having: chronic fatigue, low energy, short term memory loss, night sweats and other wonderful things. \n\nGet a second opinion -- and tell the dr you choose what your suspicions are.  At best, ask for a full blood panel to also check your hormones -- this could be something hormonal and is causing your sugars to be affected.

It is the amount of glucose (sugar) found in your blood under normal circumstances.\n\nThe normal levels are: 3.5 - 8.0mmol/L OR 63 - 144mg/dL\n\nIt increases after food intake (for about two hours) and in pregnancy and decreases in prolonged starvation or excess insulin ingestion.

Excessive thirst and passing of urine, lack of energy.\nA fasting blood glucose will be above 7 mmol/l and a glucose tolerance test will show a 2 hour blood glucose of above 10mmol/l

"Hyperinsulinemia" can mean a lot of things.  Most commonly, if you are overweight it can sometimes be a sign of "insulin resistance" which can be a part of "metabolic syndrome" or "pre-diabetes".\n\nBut there are other conditions that can cause high insulin levels which really need to be interpretted by your doctor.  Rarely, hyperinsulinemia is caused by:\n\nA tumor of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (insulinoma) or:\nExcessive numbers of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas (nesidioblastosis) \n\nboth of which also usually cause low blood sugar (or hypoglycemia), not high blood sugar, as is the case with diabetes.\n\nOnly your doctor can tell for sure.

You could have reactive hypoglycemia.  80 is on the lowish side but not hypoglycemia per se. You can suffer hypoglycemic symptoms if your blood sugar drops quickly, so the number isn't always relevant.  When you go to a doctor, ask for a glucose tolerance test, and an insulin test.  I told doctors for years that I suspected I had hypoglycemia, and they would take my blood sugar once and say it was normal.  After taking a glucose tolerance test I found out I had it.

Normal\nA blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood. \n\nResults are usually available within 1 to 2 hours.\n\nBlood glucose  Fasting blood glucose:\n 70–99 milligrams per deciliter or less than 5.5 mmol/L\n \n2 hours after eating (postprandial):\n 70–145 mg/dL (less than 7.9 mmol/L)\n \nRandom (casual):\n 70–125 mg/dL (less than 7.0 mmol/L)\n \n\n \n\nNormal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your health professional will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and medical history. \n\nHigh values\nThe American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for diagnosing diabetes are met when any of the following results have been repeated on at least two different days: \nA fasting blood glucose level is 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher.\nA 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test result is 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher. For more information, see the medical test Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. \nSymptoms of diabetes are present and a random blood glucose test is 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher. Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst and frequent urination (especially at night), unexplained increase in appetite, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, erection problems, blurred vision, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.\nIf your fasting blood glucose level is between 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L), you are considered to have prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose), and you have an increased chance of getting diabetes. \nOther conditions that can cause high blood glucose levels include severe stress, heart attack, stroke, Cushing's syndrome, medications such as corticosteroids, cancers, or excess production of growth hormone (acromegaly). \nLow values\nA fasting glucose level below 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) in women or below 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) in men that is accompanied by symptoms of hypoglycemia may mean you have an insulinoma, a tumor that produces abnormally high amounts of insulin.\n\nLow glucose levels also may be caused by:\n\nAddison's disease. \nDecreased thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism). \nA tumor in the pituitary gland. \nLiver disease, such as cirrhosis. \nKidney failure. \nMalnutrition or an eating disorder, such as anorexia. \nMedications used to treat diabetes. \nWhat Affects the Test \n\nReasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:\n\nEating or drinking less than 8 hours before a fasting blood test or less than 2 hours before a 2-hour postprandial test. \nDrinking alcohol. \nIllness or emotional stress, smoking, and caffeine. \nTaking a medication, such as birth control pills, medications used to treat high blood pressure, phenytoin (Dilantin), furosemide (Lasix), triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide), hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, Hydro Par, Oretic), niacin, propranolol (Inderal), or corticosteroids (prednisone) can cause changes in your test results. Make sure that your doctor knows about any medicines you take and how often you take them.\n\nWhat To Think About \n\nOther tests are needed to accurately diagnose diabetes. A blood glucose test may not identify some people with prediabetes or early diabetes. Many experts recommend using a glucose tolerance test if the result of a fasting blood glucose test is between 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). This range is above the normal range but below the range that indicates diabetes. For more information, see the medical test Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. \nGlucose levels in urine also can be measured. Many people with diabetes have glucose in their urine. However, the level in the blood must be very high before glucose can be detected in the urine. For this reason, tests for glucose in urine are not used to diagnose or monitor diabetes. For more information, see the medical test Urine Test. \nIf you have diabetes, you will be able to

target level is below 180 but ideally below 140 (but this will carry a higher risk of hyoglycemia).\nnever make it below 80 or even 100 as hypoglycemia will be a real danger.

7% was the old recommendation for diabetics, now its 6% and under is what the current guideline recommend. For most labs, 4% to 5.9% is normal.

Is when you have to monitor you blood sugar levels at home. Its a little "machine". You prick your finger and put a drop of blood on a test strip. Then you put it in the machine and it tells you what your blood sugar level is. Hope this helps.

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.

I am not entirely certain I understand what you're asking. If you feel like you are "not yourself" or that you feel dizzy, confused, or lethargic when your blood sugars are testing between 80 and 150, then you need to meet with your doctor or nurse practitioner right away. You should check your meter to ensure it is working properly and giving  you correct readings. Because if your blood sugars are in a normal range, you should feel normal.\n\nHowever, if your question is about why it is so hard to maintain blood sugars in a normal zone, that is an entirely different issue. There are so many factors that go into maintaining good blood sugar levels. However, if  you feel that you are constantly fluctuating and going high, then dropping too low, the first thing to do is to test right before and then 1 hour after each meal. If your blood sugar (BS) right before meals are too high then your NPH, Lantus, or pump basal dosage are too low (or vice versa, if your BS is too low then your dosage is too high). However, if your BS before meal is good, then look at your tests after meals. If your BS is going too high after meals, then you are either not counting your carbs in your meal correctly or your ratio of insulin to carbs is too low (and vice versa, if your BS is dropping low after meals then your ratio could be too high). \n\nThe most important point is that, Yes, a diabetic can maintain good control over blood sugars. It takes effort every day, every meal, every snack. But the benefits of keeping good control are huge--like keeping your eyesight, your fingers and toes, a healthier heart, etc.

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.

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.
