High glucose, only half an hour after eating.

Very good,

I am Fraco and they detected pre -diabetes 4 months ago.The truth is that I took it quite calmly, because I already suspected something even before going to the specialist.

After knowing that it was pre -diabetic, because I was very strict in taking care of myself (exercises, medication, healthy food), and I managed to feel much better, except for small inconvenience, I live practically a normal life.

The detection of this disease was a blessing to me, since perhaps one more time and did not count it due to the complications that you.They already know.

Well I have a question, when I was detected prediabetes, the glycosylated hemoglobin test (HBA1C) was 6.37%, with which my doctor determined that it was pre-diabetic, despite the fact that my fasting results were almost normal for glucose test, in my case 95 mg/dl.

For that date I felt fatal, decayed, without mood, dizziness, thirst, urinated all the time.Today I am another, thanks to the care in which I have to have.I bought a glucometer and I decided to record the results, I effectively mediated the fasting glucose, two hours after eating, and before bedtime.

The results were fantastic within the normal limits of a healthy person, even .... which turns out that I returned to the office after two months for routine laboratory analysis, and the results have confused me more, glucose in 89 mg/dl theGlycosilada courage 6.7%.In other words, not only had it not dropped, but also increased points (the previous one was 6.37%).The doctor talked about perhaps "hidden" diabetes.He has asked me post prandial for next week.

Suspecting that I decided to measure glucose every half hour after eating and the results: before dinner 98mg/dl, half an hour after eating 203 mg/dl (I had never recorded such a high figure) and two hours after eating 122 mg/dl, that is, I have very high peaks immediately after eating.

That would explain the increased glycosilada, despite my care.

What do you think.?

Is there "hidden" diabetes?

Is it normal to have fasting and postprandial encouraging results, but have the increasing glycosylated?

Thank you very much for your contribution.

Greetings from Peru.

You need fast insulin for meals, haven't the doctor told you about it?
What do you eat?If it is healthy and with controlled hydrates you should not have those peaks.

Good nohes Laire.What Padesco is type 2 diabetes, well, I don't use insulin, only 850 metformin once a day.In theory I am only pre -diabetic, but those high peaks after eating have worried me.And well the next week will make me more analytical.That frustrates me a little, because I exercise and as healthy.Thank you very much, for your prompt response.

Hello Fraco ... there is a medication based on rephakardian that is special to control the glucose peaks of food afterShe tells you if this medicine can be good for you ... Good luck !!

If next week you have an appointment with your doctor, take those results and she will see if that is what influences and you have to change your medication or what.Anyway, I see totally normal that in a diabetic person and without insulin rises to those values, which we are talking about half an hour after eating, not values ​​at two hours.It's weird, tell us what the doctor tells you, because I am crazy with your glyc's climbs.

Hello, I return to this thread for the following doubt:

-The Dr. wants to see my values ​​2 hours after eating, which is normally lower than the peak that reached at the time, what value is more important?

Thank you

@joelsa, both are important to achieve a good average glucose.
You can improve that peak after eating with foods with less hydrates and more fiber, putting the quick one a little before eating or using the rapid Fiasp, which acts before ...
With the sensor you see what can be done.

I do not understand very well that "obsession" of some doctors to just look at the values ​​two hours after eating, for several things.
One, if you have climbed at the time and at two hours you have already lowered, it is not the same to have been 220 than 150. For me it is important that the peak is not very high.
Another is that sometimes if the food has fat, it is normal to go up too late, then at two hours you can be very good and at 4 hours give a high beak.
All this is seen with the sensor and helps correct.
I think I told you that I at the breakfast gave high peaks of 180/200 and at two hours it was already fine.That was because food acted before insulin.Putting the insulin half an hour before breakfast now I am at two hours the same as before but through the maximum peak I give is 140. For me the second is much better, although at two hours I am the same as before I have not givenPico high and in diabetes they say that the peaks are not good.

The most important thing is not to have sierra peaks.Although the average is 160. The peaks damage the organs.

With a glycosilada of 6.7 you are not prediabetic, you are total diabetic.
Type 2 as you comment and you will need oral tto apart from food, exercise and lose weight if you need it.That 200 peak is very pronounced, non-diabetics do not usually pass from 90-100 or after meals unless it has been very very abundant in carbohydrates.

Hello, I ask you about "rookie":

What is considered a peak?, Climb how much?.Because keeping the values ​​in a strip of 50 mg (for example between 100 and 150 without getting up or down) it is very difficult for me, because after meals it increases by 100mg/dl approx ....

Thank you for your aid, which serve me a lot to understand this situation.

Merry christmas !

No matter the value of the peak, it is the rough up and down of blood glucose.If you are at 80 and go to 140 and then drastically go to 85, the same is harmful to 115-220-120,
Those increases are those that stress the organs and damage them.

ruthbia said:
The value of the peak does not matter, it is the abrupt rise and descent of blood glucose.If you are at 80 and go to 140 and then drastically go to 85, the same is harmful to 115-220-120,
Those increases are those that stress the organs and damage them.

So the objective is, with the fast units. Get the peak at the maximum of 50mg/dl?

Or if it goes up more, what slowly falls?

Thank you!

The objective, according to my endo, is to stay between 70 and 180 with the least possible peaks.It is normal to climb after eating, but that is the least possible.The peaks are bad, but I believe that the higher the worst, so we should not go from 180.
Going up 50 is fine, but it is not the same little by little as suddenly (peak).But do not obsess with a number but to try to be in rank with the least possible peaks, because there will be, there will be.If not, we would not be diabetic.

I would be glad to get it, but I find it difficult because an example:

In the middle of the morning I at half apple to endure until noon to eat, I do it at 90 and go up to 160, then go down how to avoid that peak?

Thank you

@Joelsa, neither do you have to become obsessed with 160 peaks, I don't call that picos ....

For me they are not spikes either.

To minimize the peaks it is important to fulfill the waiting time since you put the insulin until you start eating and that the insulin/HC ratio is correct.Thus you turn the peaks into small hills

I am reading this thread and I just got stiff because I also controlled myself with glucometer and I thought that having the right values ​​at 2 hours of eating was enough, I did not think that those values ​​between 2 hours mean anything.
What the doctor explained to me is that I had to measure myself on an empty stomach, immediately before meals and 2h after them, and that those values ​​were the ones that mattered.

Keeping those values ​​well, my glycosylated hemoglobin is 5.4 that is, enough good control, but I have never measured before 2 hours after a meal 😅

So as you say, if before 2 h I have a peak is also bad?

@"Madrid91", stay super calm with that glycosilada.My daughter had no sensor for almost 30 years and with glycosylated 6 still has the analytics and perfect eyes.He did not realize the peaks until two years ago with the sensor, and had them, of course.
