How To Read a Fasting Blood Sugar Test
Even today, most doctors aren’t reading or interpreting blood sugar levels accurately. When the test result comes back, It’s like the Mothership landed on The Planet of The Apes and everyone is sitting around scratching their behinds, wondering what it could mean. It isn’t that hard. Whether you’re an adult or child, here is how to read a fasting blood sugar test:
If lower than 70 mg/dL you are hypoglycemic
If between 70-99 mg/dL it’s normal
If between 100-125 mg/dL you are insulin resistant, pre-Type II diabetes
If 126 mg/dL or higher you are either Type I or Type II diabetic
None of these values are labels for life! In fact, these numbers alone are not very helpful and they should never be used to dictate what actions should be taken.
Blood Tests Alone Can’t Diagnose You
Your test results are only a snapshot of a much bigger picture, not a tool for diagnosis. It’s very likely that your blood sugar right now is vastly different than it was one hour ago, which means that if you go by blood sugar levels alone, you could be diabetic one hour, healthy the next.
To get a better idea of your overall health, couple your fasting sugar levels to other symptoms of illness like body fat percentage and insulin levels.
Why Insulin is The Worst Medication for a Type II Diabetic
If you have high blood sugar coupled to high body fat, then you can bet your sweet bottom that your headed toward Type II diabetes. No prescription drug or any type of insulin – commonly being used today – is going to help you. In fact, insulin is the worst thing for a Type II diabetic. It’s like throwing gas on the Type II diabetes fire.
Type II diabetes is an illness of too much insulin….Would you give more rotten food to someone suffering from food poisoning in hope that they’d get nutrients?
If you are a child or teen showing high blood sugar numbers, and are overweight, you are NOT Type I diabetic simply because you registered high sugar. You are most likely Type II diabetic and you can verify with another blood test for insulin.
Type I diabetics don’t have insulin.
