it depends on when it was taken. 120 or less two hrs after eating is OK. Meaning in the non diabetic range. But if you were 120 first thing in the morning, after 8 hrs of fasting, then that is too high, probably diabetic range, and should be checked by a doctor, get an A1C test which will show an average of the past three months and it will let you know if you are diabetic.
What else can I help you with?
Is a reading of 137 of concern for blood glucose?
A fasting blood glucose of 137 is a concern. A random blood glucose of 137 is not a concern.
Diabetic Supply Equipment for Testing and Regulating Diabetes ?
Some diabetic supply equipment is used to test and monitor a patient's ketone and blood glucose levels. In order to test these levels, the patient must pierce their skin with a lancing device and collect their blood with a testing strip. The strip is inserted into a blood glucose monitor to determine the current blood glucose level. Insulin will either be taken orally via pills or injected by syringes to regulate the patient's blood glucose.
Does having food on your finger affect your blood glucose?
Yes it will affect the reading you get (not your actual blood glucose). If you have food (especially sugary food) on your finger where you take the drop of blood from, then the sugar from the food will mix with the blood and give a false reading. This is why it is important to wash the finger before testing blood glucose.
Is a 238 a high blood glucose reading?
Yes. Normal is around 120.
What does 90mg/dL mean on a blood sugar chart?
A blood glucose measurement determines the amount of sugar or glucose in the blood. A normal blood sugar reading before eating is between 70 to 90mg/dL. Provided you did not have anything to eat prior to the test, your blood sugar level reading is in the normal range.
Till when does a patient need to be given a glucose?
Glucose drip should be given to the patient till normal blood glucose level is restored, the patient is able to do movement properly and he or she should be encouraged to eat food which give instant energy. Even after taking glucose intravenously, glucose level may go down if proper diet is not maintained
Is the most appropriate diagram to represent data on blood glucose level of 100 patient?
histogram
What blood tests require a patient to fast?
complete blood cell count
What is oral glucose tolerance test?
Blood samples are taken from a vein before and after a patient drinks a thick, sweet syrup of glucose and other sugars
What are the Nursing interventions of ceftriaxone?
Before administering nurses may need to perform a series of interventions. These include reconstituting the medication for intramuscular use, monitoring patient blood levels of this medication, monitoring for hypersensitivity, and culturing the infection.
How do you treated a patient that has been giving too much insulin?
When to much insulin is administered, the treatment depends on how large the dose of insulin is and how low the patient's blood sugar is. For patients with minorly low to moderately low blood sugar, the easiest treatment is to administer oral glucose (glucose gell, glucose tablets, etc...) for severe cases, glucagon is administered. Glucagon is a chemical that makes the patient's liver release large amounts of glucose. In the most severe cases (eg. attempted suicide) intravenous glucose is given.
Could you test diabetes from home?
You can test diabetes from home. There are many glucose meters that you just prick your finger or arm and a small amount of blood enters this machine and it will give you your blood glucose reading.
