Yay! My Blood Sugar!
Red Alert!
Am I within the range of having a normal rate? My HB says I’m over the normal range but I’m not sure. Usually when I have my physical annual exam, I am within range results so I got alarmed by what I saw.
Another reasoning I’m debating with HB is that I didn’t fast for 8 hours. This was taken at around 4am where I ate at 9pm. So, is this valid?
Now, I’m paranoid! Instead of lessening my intake of glucose, I tend to eat the food that is high in sugar! Just like last night where I got all kinds of dessert (but one of each kind only)…It’s like wanting to slim down but you hear the food’s calling out your name to taste them! More temptation! Somebody stop me!!!!
I think I need to evalaute my eating habits and hopefully, I get back to my sporty self…I’m sure HB would be happy to hear this! He’ll once again have a partner and be motivated to lose weight!

Anton is right, it’s beyond the normal range. Best to have a regular FBS of course. The targets even for self monitored blood sugar are fasting blood sugar of 80-100 mg/dl and 2 hour post prandial blood sugar

Agree with Faye and Jonnek. HgbA1C is your average sugar level for the past 3 months. Do you have family history of Diabetes? Take care Rache
