Question 1

what does it mean when glucose levels fluctuate from 65 to as high as 146 in 18 hrs, accompanied by fatigue and up to 6 meals per day, and dehydration?

Accepted Answer

Varying glucose: See a doctor to find out if you have diabetes by having your hemoglobin a1c checked. You should do this as quickly as possible. You also need to have a complete chemistry panel and a CBC to see if you are not anemic or have low levels of potassium in your blood. Good luck.

Question 2

how can  the amount of water you drink affect blood glucose levels?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration: Can increase blood sugar if you have diabetes. Water intake will temporarily dilute your blood sugar level, but only for a very, very short time  before your body readjusts.

Question 6

involved in maintaining blood glucose levels?

Accepted Answer

Blood glucose levels: I would recommend the following:
1: Check blood sugar before breakfast
2: Document what diabetes medication you take before breakfast
3: Document what you ate for breakfast and any snacks between breakfast and lunch
4: Check blood sugar before lunch.

The two blood sugar values should be about 50 mg, or less, different from each other.

Question 7

how is energy related to blood glucose levels?

Accepted Answer

Low=low: You need a normal blood glucose to have energy!  if your blood glucose gets too low, you will feel fatigued, shaky, and sometimes nauseated and confused.  If you've ever done aerobic exercise without eating enough, and you've had the feeling of "hitting the wall"... That's low blood glucose!

Question 8

do high blood glucose levels mean i have diabetes?

Accepted Answer

As a definition -yes: Consistently elevated blood sugar levels do indicate diabetes.  If your overweight/obese, gained weight recently, have family history of diabetes, you are at increased risk - you need to see your family doctor for some fasting lab work - where they will check fasting blood sugar along with possibly a hemoglobin a1c% - which gives an idea what your average blood sugars have been for the last 3-4 mo.

Question 9

can i take cinnamon to lower blood glucose levels?

Accepted Answer

Only: If you like the taste. Does nothing to lower glucose. Cinnamon rolls raise glucose a lot. Don't get your medical info from friends, tv or the internet. Listen to your doctor instead.

: It is unlikely to raise blood glucose levels. It is said to increase hunger, you could actually get more information if you put Desloratadine on a search engine to see the possible side effects from its website.
