I am wondering your Fasting Blood Sugar,A1C level and Postprandial Blood Sugar...Can you say me ?

And which type of diabetes have you got ?



[DiabeticDanica]

@SUSSTURUCU My fasting blood sugar changes day to day, there is so much that affects it! My A1C last time I went to the endo was 7.1 I think. I have never heard of a Postprandial Blood Sugar, what does that mean? I have Type 1, insulin-dependent, diabetes. How about you, do you have diabetes, too?

[SUSSTURUCU]

@DiabeticDanica Do you make Paleo Diet ? My mother is diabetic and she makes paleo diet..And she uses metformin...His A1C level decreased to 5,6 from 7,7...I think you must research it..

Postprandial Blood Sugar means the blood sugar after meals...When you eat any food,please look your blood sugar after 1 and 2 hours..it must below 140 mg/dl..

Now I don't know...My fasting blood sugar is 75-80 mg/dl...But my postprandial blood glucose is over of 200 mg/dl..

Maybe I am LADA.

@SUSSTURUCU I don't have any diet. I have type 1, so all I do is count carbs. I don't have to limit my carbs, I just count them so I know how much insulin to give. It sounds like your mom might have Type 2. I don't take any oral pills, that's Type 2.

Again, my postprandial blood sugar would just depend on the day. I think you may be thinking of what a non-diabetic's blood sugars should be at those times. :)

@DiabeticDanica And after 5 years, I can be Type-1 diabetic..Doctors wanted specific tests from me..But I haven't still done it..

If I have LADA,after 5 or 10 years I will have type-1 diabetes like you..

Hence,I am researching to diabetes in everywhere..

I hope that boffins will solve with stem cells to this nightmare..

YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTİFUL DİABETİC GİRL I HAVE EVER SEEN..

Your eyes are wonderful :))

@SUSSTURUCU Hmm.. that's interesting. Well, I hope the doctors figure out if its LADA or not! And that's great that you're researching to find out more. And yes I agree, a cure would be wonderful! :)

Aww, thanks so much! That is very sweet of you to say :)

Thanks for your comments :)
