Blood sugar was 121 HELP!?!
Question:
Blood sugar was 121 HELP!?
I know it might not be REALLY high. But for 3 months straight i just feel like i havent got enough rest. Even when i do sleep good. So I went to the doctor and he took some blood tests. Everything came back normal except my blood sugar was 100. I fasted that morning too. Today i woke up and felt fatiqued and weird. I took my blood sugar and it was 121. The doctor said im "pre diabetic" and too watch what i eat. And Cut down. I havent ate anything since 9 pm lastnight.
Answers:
I'm guessing you're overweight. Your doctor visit and the diagnosis should be a wake up call. Pre-diabetes is nothing more than diabetes that's going to happen (actually it is happening as we speak). The good news is, it's not too late to adopt a healthy life style without meds. Exercise, healthy vegetable based diet, and weight loss should be your number one priorities right now. Take my advice (I didn't when I had the opportunity) and get healthy. You and your body will appreciate it.
I really get toasted when these so called "nurses" get on with their ill informed advice. 121 fasting is too high, Kate. This poor kid is asking for help. Accepting a high blood sugar is not going to help. He/she needs to get healthy if they're going to find relief from the fatigue. I speak from experience. Mine turned into depression after years and years of not feeling right. Now, that I've made the turnaround, I feel better than I did twenty years ago.
