Low glucose before breakfast

chacho's profile photo   10/24/2012 5 a.m.

Hello,

Yesterday the endocrine gave me the device to measure blood glucose, and they told me to measure me before breakfast, because it turns out that I measured before breakfast and has given me 31. Is that normal?

Yesterday he gave me 115 two hours later to breakfast.

Thank you!

Hi Chacho
Seriously that it gave you 31?But what glucometer do you use?31 I think it would be serious hypoglycemia ... In my case I would be passed out on the medium unconscious soil.

And with 31 you had no symptoms ?????What medication you take, because being type 2 I imagine you are not insulin.
Of course that figure is not normal and you should notice ...

One thing will not be that instead of measuring glucose in milligrams/deciliters you are doing in millimoles/liter?.There are devices that carry both options and maybe you are using the second measurement system.
I put a text that I found:

Mg/dl
Milligrams per deciliter are a unit of measure that shows the concentration of a substance in a specific amount of liquid.In some countries, the results of blood glucose levels are expressed in mg/dl.To move to mg/dl starting from mmol/l, multiply the mmol/l by 18. For example: 10 mmol/l = 180 mg/dl.

Mmol/l
Millimoles per liter are a unit of measure that shows the concentration of a substance in a specific amount of liquid.This unit is used in veterinary and medical scientific journals and in certain countries to indicate the results of blood glucose levels.In other countries the MG/DL or the G/L are used.To move from mmol/l a mg/dl, multiply the mmol/l by 18. to move from mmol/l a g/l multiply by 0.18.For example: 10 mmol/l = 180 mg/dl or 1.8 g/l.

I got a lot, when I did the test after two hours of breakfast gave me 110, yesterday they did the same test a couple of hours later and gave 115. What may happen is that the same hand soap has contaminated the sample,so to speak ...

It was at 8 in the morning, what I had is a bit of hunger, apart from that nothing, no weird symptom, I will ask my doctor this afternoon, to see what he tells me.

Thank you very much for the answers.

Well, with 31 I would have many more symptoms apart from hunger: weakness, blurred view, sweating ... etc

Nothing, as the nurse commented, it may have been a measurement error for not putting the blood sample well, apparently I have sinned as a rookie, thank you very much for the answers.

@"Mama with diabetes" I think he told him that because he said that he had no symptoms, he thought it was a glucometer error ... If you really have 31, the symptoms should be very important
