If you eat and then have stomach pains you could have celiac (which is a reaction to gluten) or you could have some other type of stomach condition. If you have diabetes you shouldn't feel shakey when you eat but when you need to eat although I'm sure different people can have different reactions. Some other symptoms of diabetes are frequent urination, excessive drinking or eating, unexplained weight loss, dehydration, blurry vision. You would eventually have stomach pains (from the dehydration) and possibly vomiting but by that point you're on your way to the ER (or should be) because you feel so lousy. If you have any of those symptoms then yeah, it's possible that you have diabetes but you need a doctor to check for you with a simple blood test or if you know someone with diabetes then you could ask to borrow their home glucose meter and check your own blood sugar. Check when you haven't eaten for at least 2 hours. If your number is above 126 then see a doctor as soon as possible. I would think with the symptoms you have that you're going to make an appointment to see a doctor anyway. Maybe it's something simple that can be taken care of fairly easily. I hope so! regionals18 03-07-2005, 09:52 PM i got a glucose meter wats to low? SamQKitty 03-08-2005, 12:51 AM Too low is anything below 70. If you're at 70, you should eat 15 grams of carbs to bring your blood glucose up (unless it's just before a meal, then just eat your meal). If you're way below 70...say in the 40's or 50's, you may feel very shaky and want to eat everything in sight. Do not allow yourself to do this, as you may well experience a rebound high. Eat your 15 grams of carbs, wait 15 minutes and test again. If you're still far below 70, eat another 15 grams of carbs and retest in another 15 minutes. Keep doing this until you get to 70 (or close to it...once you get to the high 60's, wait an extra 15 minutes to see if your bg is still going up before dosing with more carbs).

If you can, test your blood sugar in the morning, before you eat or drink anything. If it's over 120 then call a doctor for an appointment. 139 isn't bad if you've just eaten or have eaten recently. regionals18 03-08-2005, 05:31 PM with that i didnt eat or drink anything for 3 hrs i took it again and it was 40 after two hours of not eating or drinking regionals18 03-08-2005, 10:31 PM help im low and i feel really sick... im dizzy, weak, blood rush feeling, i just dont feel good... plz any advice im not hungry and i already ate its not helping regionals18 03-09-2005, 07:16 AM this is my other name fyi i am also unknown_1 ok any wys i did wat u said and tested in the morning b4 eating and im 168! Linda1629 03-09-2005, 04:20 PM You need to write down these numbers and see a doctor. As soon as possible. You may need to be put on medication. regionals18 03-09-2005, 10:34 PM help im 234!!!! and i didnt eat for like 2 hrs regionals18 03-10-2005, 07:17 AM i didnt eat anything yet for 8 hrs this morning and im 278 blondy2061h 03-10-2005, 08:16 AM I've seen you on the asthma board. Are you on any oral steroids for your asthma? If so, that could explain the higher numbers. No matter what though, you need to see a doctor. regionals18 03-10-2005, 05:49 PM im 334 as a random test |
