What does sugar level in blood test mean...what of its 60..........????????is it diabetes??? 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. i believe diabetes is diagnosed by 4 or more consecutive fasting blood sugar readings above 140. i 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. well if your a "normal" person with a working pancreas then yes It seem as though you may have early stages of diabetes . normall blood glucose levels should be between 90 and 120. If you tested it and its lower then it could be, see your doctor as soon as you can??? Blood sugar levels test how your body produces and uses insulin (comes from your pancreas). If it was a fasting glucose level of 60, it is actually normal to low. You might be hypoglycemic, which is the opposite of diabetic. If you had it tested, I'm assuming you saw a health care professional. Ask them to explain it to you and then you will have it from the best source. There is tons of information about this-you have no need to feel embarrassed to ask. Ask your health care professional. BS Blood sugar is the amount of blood sugar in your blood, there is an average that is considered normal, everyone has blood sugar, 60(BS) would be low, the norms are more like 72-109, if it is over 200 you need to see your MD right away, if it goes too low you can faint and lots more, food intake can raise or lower you BS. That's why diet is so all important when you have diabetes. The sugar level is what is officially called the blood glucose level. This is checking the ability of your body to regulate the amount of sugar floating around in your blood by using it up or holding on to it based on whether it is needed at the time being (basically your body keeps an optimum amount of sugar around and a blood sugar test determines whether your body is working appropriatey). A level of 60 is actually on the low end of the spectrum. The normal is between 70-120. This could be because you haven't eaten or you may have a condition called hypoglycemia, which is when you need to eat small frequent meals to maintain a healthy sugar level. A level of 60 does not mean you are diabetic at all. Nursing School My sugar level is suppossed to be between 80 and 120. I have a few extra pounds, but 60 maybe low for your body build. If you are unsure and uncomfortable with your reading the best way to solve it, is to see your Dr., as low or high sugar levels are both dangerous. Don't guess. Be sure, and settle your mind. I was stupid and put it off. Now I have all kinds of other health problems, all because I waited. No matter what, It can be controlled...See your physician. |
