Uine glucose tests
Blood sugar fluctuates. How do you know it is low if you are not tested when you are experiencing the symptoms?
Diabetes sugar levels should be monitored throughout the day. Your doctor will advise you when to test your blood sugar. Most often, it is tested in the morning before eating and before or after meals.
I don't think you have to fast for twelve hours if you are having blood sugar tested. I would say you need to fast for at least six hours to eight hours.
is a blood sugar of 82 when testing before breakfast
You can find blood sugar meters at practically any store that carries pharmaceuticals. These include Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens, Right Aid and others.
Sugar in blood and urine is tested with Benedict's solution.
When a person does not have normal blood sugar values they should see their doctor. They will be tested for diabetes and if needed put on medication and maybe insulin.
It completely depends on when you tested your blood glucose. If it was a fasting number, meaning it was taken before any food was consumed, then I would speak with your doctor. Fasting blood sugars over 126 is considered to be "diabetic". If you got that reading, after eating, it also depends on how long after eating, you tested your blood glucose. If it was 2 hours, or more, after eating, I would keep an eye on it, and speak with your doctor.
When operating normally, the body restores it's blood sugar level into a range between 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L. This can be tested by using the fasting blood test.
My blood sugar was 108 this morning before I had eaten. Is this considered high?
A doctor will test your blood glucose (sugar) level by either extracting blood through a needle, or pricking your finger and placing blood on a test strip. The blood is then tested (read by a meter) to determine your sugar level. The test can often be read the same day. To achieve the best results, or the most accurate reading, it is recommended that you fast for 24 hours before a test is to be taken.
