So my doc has requested that i take my sugar with a glucometer every day for two weeks. He suspects that i am borderline diabetic. So my first reading was 429, which i think is high, but i don't know. He didn't tell me any goals or numbers, just said take it and report. So, 1st was 429, yesterday's was 319, I took it this morning and it was 26.....That seems very odd. If any of you know a little about sugar levels, can you tell me if that's weird?
Just take note, and tell the doc.

29 is very low and not good!!! You ought to drink some fruit juice. 400-300 is pretty high. 500 and above is REALLY high. I'm not sure at what point you go into a coma. I think's Mom's sugar was 700 or something when she went to the ER with it. They said they'd never seen anyone with sugar as high as hers who was not dead. She was unconscious.

Sorry to hear your going through that man. It sounds like your pre-diabetic, possible on your way to it. I don't know what your lifestyle is like, so I won't comment if it's type 1 or 2. I was 31 when I was diagnosed as type 1. At the time I was around 130lbs (I'm 6'1 mind you and usually weigh in at 190) and my fasting glucose numbers were similar. 476, 550, even as high as 700+. Not good, at that level the glucose buildup in your blood turns it into acid (see Diabetic Ketoacidosis) I would really ask your doc for an A1c and a c-peptide test. Your fasting glucose should be between 70 and 100 at the most. Also, 26 is low, really low. If mine reads at 26 I'm usually about 30 seconds from passing out. That usually means I took too much insulin and I need to eat something. I hope everything works out for you. Couple of good tips. 1. Wash your hands before testing 2. check your soap for sugar (sounds stupid but it's true) If you feel faint, dizzy, out of place, drink some OJ.

That's the hardest part. Cheese and fruit are kind of the devil now because they both convert to straight up sugar. Even good sugar is bad sugar when you're type2.

Thanks for all the advice guys. yeah, i was really groggy this morning when i tested at 26. I think im gonna check it again after my lunch break. I hadn't eaten anything at the time i tested, so i am feeling loads better now after eating. The doc thinks i might have been diabetic since childhood, but i dunno. My eating habits have been crap, so I am in the process of fixing that. It is what it is i guess.
