Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 what about blood sugar prediabetes? We are reading a medical doc book that states anything over 100 is not good. ~Jillie~ RE: help Blood sugar of 108 is totally in the normal range; you don't usually get low blood sugar symptoms unless it gets below 80.

A bazillion studies on supplement X say it's good and one says it's bad and the popular press " somehow " makes the one study the one that everyone needs to " know " about. Fish oil is beneficial in 999,999 out of 1,000,000 people and net net net most likely will extend the life of that average person by several years. Just a few grams a day decreases cardiovascular events by some awesome amount. Some research at PubMed will turn up tons of good stuff. Look for DHA and EPA. -- Steve - dudescholar1@...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 100 is right in the middle of normal, and there is a some fudge factor as blood sugar, even in non-diabetics, varies depending on meals, etc. My doctor nags me to stay under 120. I would think that under 110 is pretty normal. Linden " Jillie " wrote: >what about blood sugar prediabetes?

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Also, blood sugar doesn't dump into the urine until usually over 200, and you normally don't get a low-sugar reaction until 80 and below. So a few points are not a big deal. Linden " Jillie " wrote: >what about blood sugar prediabetes?

While my fasting number runs between 90-92, I wish it were in the low 80ties. I have added supplements that control sugar spikes well like chromium polynicotinate, biotin, and cinnamon. Unfortunately, at somewhere between 12-15 hours of fasting, my liver starts to release sugar and my readings go into the 100-105 range for a while. I don't know if that is normal or what. 10-12 hours of fasting and I have the low 90 readings. -- Steve - dudescholar1@...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Posted June 20, 2005 Well, I will say we saw the doctor on Larry King and I bought her book......My hubby has always had weird symptoms, we just felt might be blood sugar related....but his doc didn't think so.......but he has very high triglycerides..(250)..which goes with it also doesn't it? I am beginning to think like you Les.....I really value a group like this where I can get others ideas and experiences. I know one thing.......the doc in this book, recommends BOO_KOO medicines....for your heart and many other things. Yep, she says statins are a miracle drug. Well......so you guys think 110 and under would be normal then, and not PREdiabetes? ~Jillie~ Re: help 100 is right in the middle of normal, and there is a some fudge factor as blood sugar, even in non-diabetics, varies depending on meals, etc. My doctor nags me to stay under 120.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 Well......so you guys think 110 and under would be normal then, and not PREdiabetes? I don't know for sure , but from what people tell me , there is no pre-diabetic, either you are or you aren't , but some would disagree , so it's up in the air, I guess .I was diagnosed when my fasting was over 126 .After being diagnosed and checking my glucose levels, I found out just how bad things were with me , I was in the 200's until I got it under control . I think he should have the A1C, that would be more revealing ,if there is a question . Les Quote
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 I don't know about a triglyderide connection, but from what I've learned about diabetes (my husband and I both had/have it) 110 wouldn't give you high blood sugar symptoms.
