what if your sugar level first thing in the morning is 215?

I'm like you, I have a high reading first thing in the morning. In fact, I often have a higher reading when I wake up than when I went to bed even though I've eaten nothing and drank nothing since dinner time.\n\nI'm watching my carbs really, really closely and that's helping some. Have low carb dinners and see what happens.

you could be a diabetic.

150 is a good round number to go with.  Anything over 120 is considered high but your never no if you are level or moving up or down.  If you recently ate a meal and took insulin give it a chance to kick in and check again in 20 mins to see where you are headed up or down.

Start your day with some source of protein for breakfast. eat either eggs or meat and low in carbs.Then drink plenty of water the rest of the day.

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

Eat less for your next meal. Exercise might help, but there are times when this has the reverse effect, such as when sugar levels are very high. Talk to your doctor.

On a world-wide, standard-case scale, a human's blood stream should consist of roughly 10% glucose (or a bgl of 100). But this is if everyone were the same - it's a much better idea to talk to an endochronologist with a familiarty with your children's medical history. Best of luck! (I too am a diabetic.)

Blood glucose is measured in 2 different units, mmol/L and mg/dl. A reading taken in one unit will be very different if converted to the other. What was yours measured in? \nThe reading also differs greatly if it was taken before or after a mean. When was your reading taken?\n\nBlood glucose is considered high if \n- it is more than 8mmol/L or 145mg/dL if the reading was taken before a meal \nor\n- it is more than 10mmol/L or 180mg/dL if the reading was taken 2 hours after a meal\n\nIf your reading was in mg/dL...then it is actually very low. And if it is in mmol/dL that would be exceptionally high and you would be very sick by now. I suggest you get better clarification from the dr who took the blood glucose test for you.

Yes, but you have to take into account how many sugars are involved and adjust your sugar intake for the rest of the day, or adjust your insulin to compensate.

regular light meals. You don't want to bump up blood sugar at once.

if this is your fasting blood sugar, it does sound low.  i'd be feeling like crap if my sugar dropped that low.  normal fasting blood sugar should be around 90-120---my doctor likes me to aim for 100.\n\ni believe diabetes is diagnosed by 4 or more consecutive fasting blood sugar readings above 140.  \n\ni was diagnosed with type two diabetes about a year ago.  don't fool around with this--if you're concerned about your blood sugar you need to get checked out by a doctor.

Maybe you have low blood sugar and your body is just trying to  let you know.

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

Start your day with a breakfast that is high in carbohydrates. A good example is peanut butter and toast and bananas. Keep it from 100-200 calories. The less sugar the better. Also, try to make sure you are getting at least 7hrs of sleep (I know that seems impossible).

The test is called an A1C and gives an average of what your blood sugar has been for the past 3 months. 173 is a little high. Ideally it should be 120-130. With Type 2 diabetes 150 is okay. Just watch your diet a little closer and you should do okay. The actual A1C reading should be less than 7 for a diabetic.
