Insulin deficiency: Even for people with type 2 dm, relative Insulin deficiency is the reason blood sugars go up.  When fasting, your body has to be able to respond to the Insulin you make in order to stop the liver from making its own supply of glucose. If one is Insulin resistant or has undertreated type 1/type 2 dm, there isn't enough Insulin to turn the liver's glucose production down- it causes hi fasting sugar.

Question 7

how to know if i have low or high blood sugar?

Accepted Answer

Low blood sugar: The average for blood sugar (glucose) is 80 on the low end to 120 on the high end.  The only way to know your number is to check it in a clinic or with a handheld glucometer.  The one problem with a random blood sugar is that your blood sugar will fluctuate throughout the day, lower before meals, higher after meals, etc.  One test that can help avoid this is called HcA1C which gives an "average".

I don't know how: High it was, but if it was at least 200, it's likely you have diabetes. If you're overweight, you most likely are Insulin resistant and could have progressed into prediabetes or even full diabetes. Check w/your doctor and begin a program of dietary restriction, exercise and weight loss.
