Diabetes Question and Concern--Please Advise

I used my mothers accu-check and my reading was 577 mg/dl. I decided to take it home to test my blood in the morning. This morning w/o eating for 12 hours my reading is 347 mg/dl.

Is this number abnormally high and should I be worried?

Have you been hiding under a rock your entire life?

Your mothers diabetic and you haven't learned anything as yet.?

Get properly tested and start treatment immediately.

That is very high. For an average person, when you wake up it should be anywhere from 80-120. Before meals it should be the same. 2 hours after meals it should be 160 or less and at bedtime it should be 100-140. High 300's-400's, you should have went to the ER. Blood sugar in the 500's is very dangerous. You should schedule a doctor's appointment.

I would consult you doctor about these readings. I would take them two or three more times and keep writing them down and call your doctor because I normal persons without the diabetes risk is about in the 100's range and it should never go over about 130. You will need to consult your doctor. I would say you could have a risk of being pre-diabetic, but Consult your doctor.

Hope everything turns out alright

I am diabetic and yes you need to get it checked. If you just ignore it, it will be a lot worse for you in the long run. You want to be able to get medicines that they use before you need insulin. There are a lot of factors that the educators can bring to light when you go to the doctor.

It sounds like you have diabetes. You should definitely go to your doctor and have formal blood tests done to confirm this so that you can start working on becoming healthy and getting this disease under control.

That number is very high. If you are not a diabetic it should be between 75-120g/dl. You should go to your doctor and have blood drawn. The results take a few days but you will know for sure.

in a diabetic person before a meal should be about <110 mg/dL
2-3 hrs after a meal it should be around <140 mg/dL

if you have any problems you should go see your doctor

very worried you are probably diabetic , get to a doctor right away
