There is no definite answer to your questions.  Type II diabetics very a lot from person to person.  Some people are entirely insulin dependent others don't even require medication.  \n\nTo try to answer your question, though.  Your caloric intake should not have more that 60% from carbohydrates.  Look on the panel of a sugar packet to see the calories per serving and work it backward from a 2000 calorie diet.\n\nAlso try looking up "Glycemic index" on any search engine which will give you some relative idea of how sucrose (regular sugar) will effect you blood sugar - the higher the (GI) number the higher you blood sugar will go.\n\nExamples are a white hamburger bun     GI - 61\n               50 grams of sucrose     GI - 58\n               Medium Apple            GI - 34\n               Garbanzo Beans          GI - 10

rule of thumb, aviod sweet food and check ur sugar regularly. eat plenty of green vegetables, avoid taking much carbohydrate (bread, rice, cereals, etc), eat it moderation (but dont starve), and exercise regularly. hope it helps, but hey dont forget to seek expert help, preferably from a doc/ diabetic nurse/ dietician. the american diabetic association has a resourceful website too. http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp

I'm sorry she's afraid, but uncontrolled blood sugars can become serious.\n\nThe generally accepted norm range for blood sugar in all people text book wise is 70-110, or 80-120.\n\nShe really needs to ask her DOCTOR though what number range is ok with him, for HER. \n\nNot taking care of your blood sugar can have serious consequences.\n\n"How bad is a blood sugar level of 470?"\n\nEXTREMLEY DANGEROUS.

Since your life is shortened when you have diabetes, you should not aim for being a normal diabetic, you should aim to cure your disease, in other words, be normal in blood sugar.  Type 2 can be cured.  My dad did it with the Pritikin diet.  It is drastic, but the disease's consequences are severe.  Allowing it to continue is keeping drug companies and your doctor in pools of money.  Get angry and get cured.  If you're going to drop oranges because they're carbs, make sure you consume a variety of other fruits including tomatoes.  Until your blood sugar drops to normal levels, cut out those starches that are made without fiber like white rice, potatoes, white bread and batter-fried foods.  Who wants to be addicted to drugs for 40 years, and then die (or get crippled) early anyway?

Fasting blood sugar should be 120 or less. Two, seperate readings of 125 or greater, while fasting, is indicative of diabetes. Normal range is 90 to 120 fasting.

Glucose Fasting-70-110 mg/dL.(3.8-6.1 mmol/L)\nGlucose PP/R- Upto 160 mg/dL (8.8 mmol/L)\nYour second reading 1.32 does not appear correct.\nYou should also take HbA1c test every 3 or 4 months.\nEat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Diabetes food.

if the constant high sugar intake is continued, a lot of people believe this will increase your risk of type-2 diabetes. Now, whether this happens in 10 years, 20 years or never is dependant on a lot of factors.\n\nBottom line - comsuming lots of excess sugars can play havor on your glucose/glycogen systems and stress your liver, kidneys, and pancreas and result in spikes in insulin and depressing the production of key enzymes used for energy management.

Yes it can lead into diabetes if you are not careful, if your blood suger gets low use glucose tabs, peanut butter, eggs, or juice to level it out, but never sugary candy, watch your candy intake, I too have this problem

Glucose levels can go as high as 1200mg/dl\nThis happens when you have un-attended diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes or infection to a diabetic who is not using insulin correctly. \nTo make you understand how the blood sigar level reaches those heights I will  talk about 2 hyperglycemia (high sugar) states\n\n1. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)\nThis occurs mostly in people with type 1 diabetes. There is no insulin produced by the pancrease and so, the body start breaking down fats and proteins for energy. The end product of lipids metabolism is KETONES. Ketones accumlates in the blood and can be detected in the usrine and such patients have fruity breadth. This condition is a medical emergency and can lead to DEATH due to dehydration, lack of glucose in the cells, Electrolytes imbalance and ketones in the blood.\n\n2. HYPEROSMOLAR HYPERGLYCEMIC NON-KETOTIC SYNDROME\nIn this condition, the patient is producing some insulin that prevents the breakdown of fats to get energy but this insulin is not sifficient enough to prevent hyperglycemia.\nIn this condition, the blood sugars ranges anywhere between 600-1200mg/dl. It is only in this condition that you would find such high blood sugars. In DKA, blood sugard rarely go above 750mg/dl before the patient goes in a comma state or dies. Both of these conditions are medical emergencies.\n\nFrom Greg\nMedical student

Your reading should not exceed 100 two hours after eating. If you are diabetic than a good controlled reading is more like 120. Anything over 150 causes damage to the eyes and other organs. If your reading is over 110 everytime you test see a doctor immed. Remember test at least two hours after eating (or before you eat again) to get a good controlled reading. If you are having issues with your sugar have your doctor check it out. If you are diagnosed as diabetic ask to take classes. These will teach you the how to's about the disorder like eating (what to and not to).

Hello dear,\n\nFirst of all you must correct the spelling of "Diabets" and "madecin" to write as "Diabetes" and "medicine" respectively.\n\nIt is fine that you are not depending on Insulin injections and your sugar level is just little more than the normal limits.  There are medicines to cure diabetes but you will not believe.  It happened with many patients of mine and they continued to suffer without taking proper medicines and not listening to my advice.\n\nIn the meantime, please try some home remedies and I am sure you will come back to me after few days for more advice.  I am available on "adam2madam@yahoo.com" and trust is must to mail me.\n\nHome Remedies:\n\n1.  Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis.  This will bring your sugar level down and you will feel fresh.\n\n2.  Eat lots of cucumber to get rid of your dry mouth and frequent urination, if any.  Drink lots of water.\n\n3.  Please avoid Banana, Mangoes and Apple Custard completely.  These fruits contain lots of glucose and it is very dangerous for diatebes.\n\n3.  Brisk walking is always helpful for diabetic patients.\n\n4.  Avoid sugar and ice cream.  You may add sugar free tablets to your tea or coffee.\n\n5.  Take 500 ml sugarcan vinegar bottle and put 50 raw garlic flakes into the bottle and leave it for 10 days. Eleventh day onward, take one garlic flake from the bottle with one spoon vinegar after breakfast and see the result.\n\n6.  You must eat lots of other fruits like guava, watermelon, muskmelon, apple, pineapple, papaya and dry fruits to keep your stemina up.\n\n7.  To enhance your immune system, take 300g of Indian Gooseberry powder (preferable known as Amla) and 100g of dried ginger powder.  Mix them well and store in a glass jar.  Take one spoon powder daily by mixing in a glass of water.\n\n8.  Allopathic medicine can be taken if needed.  They only supress the disease and do not cure any ailment.\nAt lost, please do not allow my efforts to go waste and let me know the progress.\n\nBest of health,

If you are talking about average  blood sugar.. 80 to 120 is considered average, or "good".

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.

Type 1 - no\n\nType 2 - maybe.  There are studies which indicate that people who eat a lot of high glycemic foods (sugar is one) develop type 2 diabetes as a result of the constant assault on their pancreas.\n\nYou'd be wise to buffer your sugar with protein or eat smaller amounts several hours apart.
