Re: Pris -Glucose reading of 105

December 29, 2006

When was the reading taken? Was it after a meal? If so, how long?

If it was a fasting reading, it is a tad high. Normal fasting reading

is considered to be 70-99. A person with fasting readings of 105 might

have pre-diabetes.

Give me more information, and I'll be able to tell you more. I've had

type 2 diabetes for a number of years and have educated myself about it.

I had my pancreas removed and an islet cell transplant to help prevent

diabetes. I have done well, but have to monitor my blood sugar daily.

I had a slightly impaired glucose as my fasting is usually around

115. Having said that, while we do look at my blood glucose reading,

the most important reading of how your blood sugar is doing is with a

HbA1c (Hemaglobin A1c). As your MD to do this blood test for you.

This test will give an average reading of your sugars over a three

month period.
