Sad that I did not paid any attention when my FBS was still at 117.65 mg/dl at age 35 and 129 mg/dl at age 37.
Now I'm 39 years old with 5'8.5" height and of 78 kilograms. One day I passed by some free glucometer testing and had my blood tested, though not FBS, and got a result of 257 mg/dl.
I was prescribed immediately by the attending doctor with Getryl 2 mg.; so I started taking it since June 18, 2011 and it had been 6 days up to now. I just brought also a Contour TS Glocumeter and here are my results:
6/22/11 6:00 A.M. - 122 mg/dl 9 hrs. FBS
6/22/11 9:08 P.M. - 148 mg/dl 2 hrs after snacks
6/23/11 6:00 A.M. - 145 mg/dl 8.5 hrs. FBS
6/23/11 9:30 A.M. - 74 mg/dl 2.5 hrs. after medicine, exercise, oats
6/23/11 2:30 P.M. - 100 mg/dl 2 hrs. after lunch
6/23/11 11:28 P.M. - 192 mg/dl 2 hrs. after meal
6/23/11 11:38 P.M. - 175 mg/dl re-testing and also 4 hrs. after exercise
6/24/11 5:52 A.M. - 117 mg/dl 8.5 hrs. FBS
6/24/11 8:58 A.M. - 75 mg/dl 2.5 hrs. after meal and medicine
6/24/11 2:16 P.M. - 108 mg/dl 2 hrs. FBS after lunch
My diet are mostly quaker oats and sweet potato, and sometimes with vegetables, eggs and wheat breads... and still working on its effects also.
I just got back exercising every morning for 20 mins. jog starting for 4 straight days now and had a day of biking 40 kilometers.
Currently, I am planning a formal check-up about my case, but for the meantime I have some questions:
1) I have observed that during nightime my mg/dl results were high, what does this mean?
2) In the morning it's very low, might be the effect of the medicine; should I refrain also exercising at this time?
3) I am planning to have an FBS at some testing center, should I not take my medicine prior to the testing?
4) Now, even if my results marked 75 or 100 mg/dl I can still sometimes feel that I'm sleepy and also dizzy a little bit, what does this mean?
5) What's the best blood to capture from the prick during glucometer testing; Is it the 1st drop? or the 2nd drop, after wiping the 1st drop.
Anyways, these are all for now, I'll be reading a lot on this forum and hope to share soon my experiences and progress...
