Variable Blood Sugar Readings. Non-diabetic, Have Stress. Concerned
HI
I am non-diabetic. But I tested my BS several times over the last 2 days as i had access to a meter.
Following are the readings:
Day before yestday: 1) 2 hrs after a heavy lunch - 111 2) 3 hrs after lunch - 135 3) 5 hrs later lunch - 111 4) 6 hrs after lunch + 20 mins exercise - 89 5) 1 hr after dinner - 105 6) 2 hrs after dinner - 105 at 8 pm
yestday: 1) fasting at 2.30 am (6.5 hrs after eating) - 98 2) + 3 hrs after- i cudnt sleep after 2.30 am - 105 3) +1 hr + 30 mins running - 115 (without eating- maybe it jumped as i exercised on emplty stomach) 4) I hr after bfast - 150 5) 2 hrs after bfast - 98 6) 6 hrs after lunch - 89
today: fasting after 15- 20 mins of intense exercise - 115
I must say that i am under extreme stress for the last 3-4 days and more so for the last 2 days since i started testing. My concerns are (1) fasting jumped up after exercising on empty stomach - is ti ok? (2) one 1 hr after eating no. is 150.
All biological values have a circadian rhythm / they must vary – with time, physical and psychological influences and so on. Failure to change means problem! Exercise stimulates adrenaline and other hormones – and ups the value by different mechanisms... The variations are NORMAL and within range.
Stop testing! Psychological assessment and assistance will of benefit in stress...
