I posted about this earlier, I was just discharged from a hospital with blood sugar of 242. I was never diagnosed Diabetic. Well I am home now and I live alone with no meters, nothing.
What should I do? What can I eat or am I screwed? Thanks.
Of course you can eat.
I am diagnosed with Insulin Resistance, which is Pre- Type II Diabetes.
I was told by my doctor not to eat any food with sugar or high in carbohydrates.
It sounds hard,
but believe me, once you get used to it, its not that hard.
Took me a week, Although the carb part is a little more difficult.
Dont drink regular pop, or lattes or coffee with sugar in it.
Read alllll food lables before consuming anything.
If youre going to have something with sugar in it, atleast stay within the 10mg range. No higher than that.
As for carbs, it does turn into sugar. So eat with caution. Use serving sizes.
And try consulting a doctor.
Ask them if you should be on something.
If they dont say much or tell you anything direct;
Get a new doctor.

My step dad’s doctor told him that his blood sugar level is at 600 and that he needs to get to the emergency room. Is this considered life threatening? He has recently had a stroke and has to walk with a cane because he falls. He has also lost a lot of weight.
Oh my heavens yes!!! My doctor advised me to keep my blood sugar levels under 100 in order to maintain a healthy level. Diabetes runs in my family so I have a physical every year.
I recently had a fasting glucose test and my sugar was 109. My doctor says I am pre-diabetic. I am in shock since I excercise daily, eat only whole grains, veggies and fruit, nver drink sodas or eat fast food and am actually underwieght(105 lbs). Does anyone know of other reasons for the high level? I have been under stress lately from fear of losing my job. Could this cause the rise?
I wonder what the doctor thinks of someone who has a reading of 126, like me, and I am not diabetic?
109 is not that high.
A better way to check is a A1c test, it ives you a indication of what your sugar levels have been doing over the past 3 months or so. If that reading is over 7.5% then you are diabetic, while under 6% you are not diabetic, and in between you may be pre-diabetic.
I guess your doctor could say the whole world is either diabetic or "Pre-diabetic" in that they all have a chance of getting it some day. I would think a reading over 130 would be considered pre-diabetic, while a reading as low as yours would not be considered diabetic at all (with a supporting normal A1c test).
One test on one morning is not a great indication of your health. Perhaps if they took one test each monday for a month, then you will have an idea of your total health.
I see hundreds of eye floaters. I am diabetic and my blood sugar is probably 150 on average. Do you think lowering my average will help?
Just keep your blood sugar in control, and there’s nothing else you can do, just prevent them from getting worse.
Thanks a lot, now that you mentioned them, I’m noticing my floaters.
I have one on my face, hand and toe.I went to the doctor and he told me that it was because of my sugar being so high.He took a culture on them to see what it is.I’m going to wait for his phone call.Can anyone help me.
Yes, I’ve heard of people with diabetes heal very slow, lose eyesight, lose leg, etc. but it is controllable if you cooperate with what your doctor tells you.

“At 35 my life was on the roll until the shocking news that my fainting spells were because I had Type 2 Diabetes. My fasting BG was 234mg/dl or 13 mmol/dl. A friend introduced Dbethics saying it’s a natural cure for diabetes.
