My last post stated that I "have" type 2 diabetes. Joe and I don't believe that's true so we went out and bought a meter to test my blood everyday. The past few days I slipped up and didn't take it (oops!) but I had taken it every morning from May 17 to May 27. I figured I'd share my glucose levels with everyone and get some input on if you think I've got type 2 diabetes or not. I'll add in the days to this blog when I take my glucose level in the morning.
May 17..........96 mg/dl
May 18..........90 mg/dl
May 19..........109 mg/dl
May 20..........86 mg/dl
May 21..........107 mg/dl
May 22..........127 mg/dl
May 23..........106 mg/dl
May 24..........104 mg/dl
May 25..........115 mg/dl
May 26..........113 mg/dl
May 27..........100 mg/dl
May 31..........113 mg/dl
I know some are kinda high (like the 127!) but those days I didn't fast for 12 hours. Some I might have been fasting for 5 or 6 hours. Since the 21st, it's been in the 100's but still, I don't think it's type 2 diabetes high! Oh well, I'm not the doctor.
http://diabetes.webmd.com/blood-glucose?page=3 Check out this site (WebMD on diabetes)... It says that a fasting rate of 126 or higher on more than one occasion means diabetes, and that fasting levels (8 hours fasting) 100 to 125 means prediabetes. On the 22, you were at 127, but that may have been one that you hadn't fasted long enough.
