If anybody raises the question “What are normal blood sugar levels?”, the answer is simply beating the same track repeatedly. From a diabetes blood sugar levels chart, it is read that the normal blood sugar readings are 70 – 100 mgs as fasting blood sugar levels and 100 – 140 mgs as random. However, type 2 diabetes blood sugar levels are not within these limits with blood sugar sensitivity. But anyhow it is not exclusive since there are some factors of normal blood sugar levels – hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
A diabetic simply depending merely on prescription medicines cannot manage diabetes with normal sugar levels. Diet choices(diabetic diet foods AND bad diabetic foods) is another factor which can be realized in real experience. If the patient plans well his ways, it helps to fix the cause and effect in which the success rate to maintain normal fasting blood sugar levels as well as random blood sugar glucose levelsis a little higher. If he takes efforts to study his health condition by introspection with reference to each and every action taken by him and the consequences, it helps more to maintain his own health against diabetes. Along with these, close observation and sharing of experiences regarding the diabetic problems of others also gives him confidence that he is better than others.
Psychologically one should think to feel better than others. Unnecessary fears created by medical warnings like “Diabetes cannot be cured totally but can be maintained only”, ” You cannot overcome the hereditary effects
of diabetes from parents”, ” Diabetes follows and has its end until the last day of life”, “Diabetes is a silent killer”, “glucose tolerance test should be taken at least once in three months”. It is true to certain extent only and not to worry much. There are diabetics who have overcome insulin resistance blood sugar levels by sticking to restricted and balanced food habits.
Tips to reduce blood sugar level symptoms:
Consult a physician to reduce blood sugar Have a changed lifestyle with balanced diet including vitamins and minerals. Observe other diabetic patients and getting clues how they manage diabetes Say good bye to bad diabetic foods high in carbohydrates Have daily exercise program and avoid day time sleeping as far as possible Avoid unnecessary fears and imaginations of mythical rumors Have diabetic diet meal plan by consulting a dietitian to suit your body condition.
Frequently Asked Questions QUESTION: signs of early pregnancy!!! taken from the net! a good list!!? I am overdue for my period and experiencing cramping, headaches, pimples, fatigue, gas, going to the toilet more often and many other symptoms, Yet i am unsure whether i am just due for my period or could i be pregnant.. I am only at the 4-5 wk mark so have no real clue as yet! I came across the list below on the net! Thought this might answer a few Q’s in regards to the symptoms and the ppe who ask could they actually be pregnant or not this month! You may start noticing pregnancy symptoms and/or be able to detect pregnancy after implantation, which occurs from around 7-10 days post ovulation. If you have conceived, the embryo starts to produce hCG after implantation and not before, so it is not possible to detect pregnancy or have pregnancy symptoms before this time. So the longer you wait to test after ovulation, the more accurate the result will be and the darker the potentialpositive test line may be. Pregnancy testing should ideally be done from the day your period would have been due. What Pregnancy Symptoms Might I Experience? Below is a list of pregnancy symptoms which you may find signal pregnancy for your own body. Remember, every woman and every pregnancy is different, so there’s no need to panic if you don’t have all of the listed pregnancy symptoms. I had absolutely no noticable symptoms (apart from not having a period) with my second pregnancy until 11 weeks. High BBT (Basal Body Temperature) If you regularly chart your cycle and take your temperatures, you will notice that your BBT will remain high throughout your luteal phase. Progesterone causes your BBT to rise upon ovulation and stay elevated should you be pregnant. If you are not pregnant, your BBT will drop right down and you’ll get your period as normal. Missed / No Period One of the first pregnancy symptoms you may notice is that your period does not arrive. While this symptom is one wemost commonly associate with pregnancy, there may be other reasons why a period hasn’t arrived, for example high levels of stress, major illness or surgery. On the other hand, it’s possible to continue to have your periods during pregnancy. Some women may bleed for just a few months or even their whole pregnancy. (See our topic on Bleeding in Pregnancy for more information). Morning Sickness Another well known pregnancy symptom is morning sickness. Don’t let it’s name fool you – morning sickness can pay you a visit any time of day, so make sure you eat enough and avoid letting your blood sugar levels drop. Ginger is a great natural remedy for nausea so it’s worth a try, although some women find that nothing seems to help their morning sickness, which normally hangs around for the first trimester before getting better or if you are unlucky, the second trimester or even whole pregnancy. (See our topic on Common Pregnancy Ailments for more information). Breast Changes From very early onin pregnancy a symptom you may notice is changes in your breasts, including: •Nipples may be tender and sensitive – some women describe their nipples to be irritatingly sensitive! •Breast may be sore and / or lumpy •Nipples may deepen in colour •Veins may become more noticeable and enlarged in the breast area •Areolas may darken (circles around your nipples) •The little ‘bumps’ on your areolas (Montgomery’s Tubercles) may increase and / or enlargen Increased Cervical Mucus A surge in progesterone often results in a surge of creamy cervical mucus production. Some women may notice a little, and some notice much more. Fatigue When you first become pregnant, your metabolism steps up a few gears in order to support your developing baby as well as your own body, which creates one big workload! You may become so immensely tired that you feel that you need to sleep more than usual. Not only that, but the hormone progesterone which is required in high levels during pregnancy has a sedatingeffect. No wonder you feel so very tired! If you need to rest or sleep, don’t fight your body – it needs it! Frequent Urination As soon as a week after conception, you may notice yourself dashing off to the toilet more often, only to find that you’re urinating small amounts! This happens because the embryo starts to secrete the pregnancy hormone hCG, which signals for the blood supply to increase in the pelvic area. This results in the bladder becoming irritable and it passes even small amounts of urine. You may find you will wake in the night to urinate more often than usual. Cramping This symptom of early pregnancy can also be an unnerving one for parents-to-be, as often there is a fear of miscarriage. However even when not pregnant, your uterus is continually contracting. When pregnant, the foetus grows and pushes against the walls of your uterus, which causes it to contract – this is very normal. If the cramping is accompanied by bleeding, see your doctor who can assess thesituation to see if you may be having a miscarriage. However do n i took a home pregnancy test a couple days ago but did it in the arvo.. showed neg… i think i will go to the drs this week if i keep feeling like i am I guess my Main symptoms atm, are i - have cramping, tonight its been constantly ever since i got home from work.. - i am going to the toilet to urinate More often! - i am getting pimples - more tired - hot flushes - cranky - gone off smell of coffee and often feel ill after drinking it think this is about it! still thinking could it all be in my head or is my period around the corner.. am doubtful as the test i did here turned out neg! ANSWER: With my first pregnancy, somehow I “knew” I was pregnant. I felt fuller in my pelvic region (it was not like my stomach was full or anything), but I had only a handful of other symptoms. Going to the bathroom often is one, but it is a bit misleading – its sometimes not such a huge ‘urge’ to go like they describe in books. My basaltemperature was higher, but you have to use a Basal thermometer to see it (and you need to have taken your temperature daily before getting pregs too so you can compare). With my second, I had major fatigue right away, but no ‘feeling’ or anything. I found out I was pregnant a few days after being extremely tired (like falling asleep during dinner tired!). Take a test – you are past your period due date, so you should get a very accurate reading.
