Postprandial glucose values

Good afternoon.

I was reading some themes of the forum and I have a doubt, I measure my glucose before eating and two hours later, I see the values ​​and if they are high, I will walk if I can and already, which is right now the only thingWhat can I do because I don't have any treatment until I see the specialist with the results they have to give me.

Well, the issue is that I don't know how much I could consider that it is a correct value, if it depends on how much is initially before eating or if you must meet more or less fixed margins, for example 120 or so.

I'm going to do a year since they told me that it was diabetes and I am as lost as the first day, nor will we count on hydrates or the daily amounts that I should take, I do everything with common meaning but it is not going well.I do not need to lose weight but when I started diet I lost a few kilos, kilos that I have recovered today and I fear that they are starting to climb and I am a little nervous because I see here that people control a lot and I remain quite lost and overwhelmed.

Wait for the analysis to see you and put your treatment. If you have not uploaded the glucose, it will be type2. And it will not be needed insulin ... but that you do all the necessary tests for the diagnosis

Hi @nila, that is, it depends on your type of diabetes, your way of approaching it will be different ... Postprandial blood glucose we consider it correct if it is within our objective range, which is ideally fixed and in principle independent of the glycemia beforeEating ... Let's see if I explain myself well, imagining that we consider a postprandial blood glucose correct at two hours between 120 and 140 ... If before eating we have 100, which is very good, in the case of diabetes t1 We put the insulin corresponding to the rations that we are going to eat (taking into account all that we already know that then we can play it, that is, type of cooking and food, fat fibers etc, if we are going to have or have had activity andAll those factors that will also influence post glycemia), we do not apply insulin to additional to correct since we had 100, and at two hours we have 125. Perfect and objectives.On another occasion, before eating we have 209 (high, what rage) but our goal for glycemia after eating will continue to be between 120 and 140. So in addition to putting the insulin corresponding to the rations that we are going to eat and othersFactors, we will put an additional amount for correction, calculate it according to our insulin sensitivity index and thus we will compensate for the fact of having a pre -high.But the goal two hours later is still the same ... I don't know if I have explained.I imagine that in type 2 diabetes, using nutrition knowledge, exercise, medication used etc, the objective will also be found within predetermined margins that we will consider correct.A hug @nila and encouragement.It is important that you dominate the issue of hydrates well, if you have concrete doubts, present them here, there are very very put people who know how to explain very well.

Ok, thank you very much, it is already clearer.On Friday I wait for the results and I suppose that these issues will already be clarified, especially in order to have treatment or continue as I am

From the first day they told me that a good postpandreIt will be that we cause an obsession with the "140" postpondrial to people and in the end that obsession leads us to unnecessarily correct and cause hypoglycemia ... especially if it does not carry a continuous or similar meter

All the best

@sigsauer, I thank you for correction, I hope I have not unintemptedly confused anyone.

With the new treatments and the new insulins, the values ​​are adjusted more .. and it can be discussed of a 140 post, which is more normalized.

Quiet, I know I am minor and I am in adolescence but these 6 years of diabetics I have taken them so fatal that I think I have problems in my eyes, I have to go to the ophthalmologist.Now I go better, and everything is thanks to the motivation to take care of myself, since this before I was unusual and as I went from my diabetes.Take care of it now that you are on time, talk to people like us (well I don't have so much experience because I am 16 years for 17 :))) and you will see that everything is going better to you

Thank you very much for the answers.I hope that the analytics do well this week and they would also tell me the result on Diabetes Mody, they will tell me whether I am or not but I think no.

And about that they tell me if I have to take treatment right now, my mother spent many years without having to take anything but my measures are worse

@Ainhoa ​​quiet, it's not a matter of confusing, many times when I write about glycemia, corrections, duration of insulins etc ... it happens to me that then when I read it, pussy !!!This is what is good for me in my case but another person causes a hypoglycemia because as we have already said a thousand times each case we are different and we each have our more or less active lifestyle.As an example when someone asks how much 1U goes down fast and is derived to formula 1,800/ total units (Bolus-base of insulin) that is very general but "to me" when I have done sports 1U lows me 100mg/ dl and that's whyI am afraid to put here that the generality is 40 -50mg/dl will not cause a problem.

@Regina It is clear that if you can have perfect pre and postpandrales (70-140) without living "for" and "for" diabetes and without having mcg or bomb you are, in my opinion you are a machine more than a human butIt is my opinion.As for the treatments, in the 14 years that I have been with this I already started with Levemir and Humalog so that except for the bombs, Dexcom and Free I do not believe that the treatments have advanced so much and I repeat again that my educator who is here for here is aEminence continues to tell me that a prostpass of 160/180 mg is perfect so that to see if they agree or that they see me very clumsy ...: D: D: D

Forgive on the sheet, greetings to both !!

@sigsauer, your opinion seems very sensible to me and makes me reflect ... It is true that wanting to help sometimes we feel chair about such a variable matter that almost never is the same, neither among different people nor within the same person.It is better to give broader orientations but always make it clear that each one must adapt them to himself.And with respect to the "Opt" values ​​you are also right.Optimal is to avoid high glycemia in a regular basis, but trying to avoid those damn hypoglycemia ... What is sad is that the tranquility that an MCG gives, which is what allows you to adjust the margins safely, have a price with so many zeros.It is difficult to make up and relax your goals for not being able to pay that price.But as you say is the sensible option.Someday this technology will finally be available to everyone, and we can all be a little more peficists.Greetings and happy Sunday

Good morning everyone, in the end the results that were going to give me tomorrow until March ... I have been delayed the appointment until the second fortnight !!!

But I have gone an analytical to see how everything and the truth is that very good, great values, both cholesterol and triglycerides and fasting glucose to 89 that before 110 did not go down and now it seems now that it is quite regulated.Hemoglobin in 6, so I still still have no treatment with food.

And nothing, waiting for Modly's tests, to see what they tell me.
