When I wake up my blood sugar is 110-120 but somedays its in the 80′s.

I have been diabetic (type 2) for about a year now but only found out about it a 5 months ago (after becoming pregnant) I had an A1c of 12.5 needless to say I miscarried. I have been on 30 units of Levemir at night for the last 3 months. A week ago I noticed my blood sugar was very low in the morning (60) normally it is between 100 and 115 in the morning when I take my fasting BS. I spent the entire day checking rechecking and trying to get it up. I even used 3 different meters in case one had stopped working properly. Even after eating a rather heavy meal my blood sugar never made it over 130. Since that day I haven’t taken my insulin any night and have had no problems with it rising to unhealthy levels nor failing to unhealthy levels. I have been waking up to a 85 to 90 range and 2 hours after eating 135 or lower. At bed time (about four hours after eating) no higher then 115.

What could be the cause of this?

I am wondering has anyone ever had this happen? If so what caused it?

I have been completely healthy no illnesses, fevers, mood changes, nothing just the normal blood sugar, if anything I feel better.

I have searched all over the internet and cannot find any information or instances where someone has had this happen.

I have an appointment with my doctor in two weeks but in the interim I am to stop my insulin until I see him or it get too high
Ok, to add a little more detail. I was only pregnant for a month. My A1C was 12.5. Now, your A1C is like a 3 month record of sugar in your cells. I did not have gestaional diabetes. I had been diabetic for over six months prior to becoming preggers. Drs. said it was like I became diabetic around the december holidays of 2008. Which make since since around that time, until I was diagnosed and treated I had just about every possible symptom of diabetes… I am just bad at taking care of myself and seeing doctors… So, I did not have just gestational diabetes. I had a miscarriage on Oct. 16 2009. It is only by coincidence that I was diagnosed at the time of pregnancy.

pls excuse my spelling.

Help! I don’t know if I’m Hypoglycemic or not. When I haven’t eaten for a few hours, I get a head ache and I’m kind of dizzy. If I prolong it, I can’t see straight. Sometimes I feel really sick, or I get really weak (eg, can’t stand, can’t lift things).
When I eat a lot, or I eat a lot of sugary stuff, I get major headaches and I’m bouncing off the walls like a loonatic.
Please help!! My diabetic friend thinks I am hypoglycemic, but I haven’t gone to a doctor and can’t really afford to right now.
Please, feel free to answer your opinion, ANYONE, even if you think the question has already been answered good enough. I want..no…NEED lots of answers!! HELP ME!!!

I did not have this with my 2 year old. My main concern is developing type 2 diabetes later in life which they say can very well happen. What are the chances of this and have you developed type 2 since you had GD?

Is there a chart telling me what # is considered a low? I need to go buy a glucose monitor and was wondering if those came with a chart telling me what numbers are low..and what are good numbers. Any websites that can help me will be great. I kept finding monitoring charts.. I need actual numbers. This is all new to me. Thanks so much!!
I am not diabetic, have been tested.
My doctor did diagnose me without a blood smaple. I am no idiot. I do want to confirm my hypoglycemia rather than i being someones word. But I am pretty sure I have hypglycemia when I am at a 33 and have moderate hypogycemic symptoms.
I am monitoring my levels for my personal knowledge and to identify what number I am at when I know I am at a low and feel irritable, hot sweaty, etc.
I do plan to go back to the doctor and ask for an official diagnosis so that I can be given the proper information that I need in managing this. I do not want to go at it alone, and right now I am because my docotor said I do not need a diagnosis, just as long as I know how to handle myself when I am low. Now that doesnt make sense. It seems like a serious issue when I have had one episode of lethargic, un able to speak and blurred vision. I was scared, I had no idea what was happening to me. Thank everyone.

I’ve had this terrible experience happen to me twice. I woke up in the morning, got out of bed, went to restroom, and noticed I was unusually dizzy and lightheaded. Before long, I started sweating, getting extremely pale, very shaky and distraught. I could not even brush my teeth because it was so bad. I nearly fell over. I went back to my room and laid down on the bed. I went downstairs to have cereal and ended up throwing it up. Anyone have a clue as to what might have caused this?

how long do you have to have diabetes until the nerve damage occurs. And what are the symptoms

How does Chromium Picolinate (200mg) and Alpha Lipoic Acid (600mg) help Type II Diabetes patients? When should these be taken? Should they be taken every day? How does one combine it with daily 1 X Glibenclamide 5mg and 1 x Metformin Hydrochloride 850mg? What is the diet recommended? It is suggested to take food 6 times instead of three? What does this mean?

When I pay for my insulin in the US it costs 7 per vial at Walgreens Pharmacy. When I order my insulin online through a Canadian pharmacy it costs about . Why on earth is insulin so much more expensive in the United States when it is made by the same company, and is the same EXACT medication?

ok so heres the deal

im a 22 year old female. im not overweight. I dont really excercise as much as I should but I work a job on my feet. I have had quite a bit of muscle soreness and random muscle pulling and knots on my body for a little over a year now. as well as foot soreness becuase i have flat feet.

I am ALWAYS thirsty and I drink alot of water. I probably dont drink anything more than 6 or 7 16 oz bottles of water a day but still. i find myself to always be thirsty and I pee ALOT.

last summer i had a strange ear infection that wasnt quite going away. so my doctor sent me to be tested for diabetes. the only test I had taken was the fasting glucose test. the results came back fine. no diabetes were detected

however. here i am. a year later and i still always feel thirsty all the time. ive been feeling thirsty all the time for YEARS NOW. i can drink a bottle of water and still be thirsty rite after. my mouth gets dry very easily and i always need water. sometimets ill start to feel sick if i dont have any water to drink.

diabetes doesnt run in my family. so thats a good thing

however ive read online that the fasting glucose test isnt always the best way to detect diabetes. and that taking a glucose tolerance test as well would be better at detecting it. im just worrying that i still have diabetes even tho the fasting test came back as negative and i realy want to take the glucose tolerance test just to be totally sure. would my primary care doctor have to refer me to take the test? or would i have to go to an endocrinologist?

Can anyone working or studying in the medical field give me a straight answer please. thank you.

Someone I know has it and they say that they can eat as much sugar as they want as long as they take insulin before (they are in good shape, very muscular and thin). I want to look out for them and make sure its okay.
Is this true? Or is it damaging on the body to eat sugar as a diabetic.
What if their blood sugar level does NOT get high from eating it because they take insulin before??

My husband recently found out he has Diabetes. We bought the Sugar Busters book and it looks like the American Diabetes Cookbook has several things in a recipes that Sugar Busters said to avoid. Both books are great, but I’m new at this so I’m confused. Thank you for any info you can give me.
