Diabetes Feedback: being to low is not good if you take insulin. always have some glucose tablets with you. being to high is not good either
Diabetes Feedback: If you have low blood glucose you should go and see your doctor, if you have too high sugar levels or too low you can become quiet ill, your body need a balance of everything.
Diabetes Feedback: BOTH are dangerous. You need to strive for NORMAL glucose levels which are 80-120. ANY value in that range is considered normal.
TOO HIGH blood sugar is called DIABETES, and I suspect that you already know what THAT means — blindness, nerve problems, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes, even amputations and death!
Too Low blood sugar is called HYPOGLYCEMIA. In this case you become confused and disoriented, like being drunk. If you do NOT get help (eat something) when this happens, you could pass out. At that point, if you do no get medical care (call 911) you could go into a coma and die.
Now, the problem with Hypoglycemia is that it attacks suddenly — one minute you are tooling down the street on you way to a favorite night club. The next minute you wake up in an ambulance, after having passed out while driving, and killing three people in the other car.
Hypoglycemia is usually caused by a poor diet, too low in calories. If your blood sugar have a tendency to drop below 70, you need to EAT MORE!
High blood sugar usually affects only you, but through you it also affects you immediate family. it can take months or years to develop symptoms of Diabetes/ In the mean time the patient suffers from pains they can;t describe (and pain killer won;t help), and various “ailments” that may seem to be age related. Diabetes causes sexual dysfunction, like Erectile Dysfunction in men or “frigidity” in women.
Diabetes has to most serious result — it IS 100% fatal. Almost ALL diabetics die of diabetic complications — unless they get hit by a bus! heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure are common causes of diabetic death. But Diabetes causes the body to respond poorly to other disease, so “normal” problems like flu are often fatal to diabetics. Diabetics are also more susceptible to other disease like infections and cancer.
Diabetes Feedback: neither is better… you’ll physically FEEL better with high blood sugar… for a little while, but both are very dangerous if left untreated. 70 and one hundret is a little low, maybe you need less insulin
Diabetes Feedback: Gary B. is really really right except for the 80-120 part
80 yes
120, well how old are you? 90?
120 is high for an old person
so unless ur ancient then 120 is not high
it may vary depending on ur physic and diabetes control
Diabetes Feedback: eat whole grain food, it will help keep your blood sugar stable. eat meals at regular times.
