A member asked:

For a non-diabetic patient whose normal fasting glucose is 90mg/dl, how much spike in fasting glucose is normal during an acute vertiginous migraine attack? is a 60mg/dl elevation to a fasting glucose level of 150mg/dl normal and acceptable?

During an acute vertiginous migraine attack, a spike in fasting glucose levels is not typically observed. In fact, a study conducted by the American Diabetes Association found that there was no significant difference in fasting glucose levels between migraine sufferers and non-migraine sufferers. Therefore, a 60mg/dl elevation to a fasting glucose level of 150mg/dl is not considered acceptable.

Vertigo associated with an acute migraine episode does NOT affect fasting or non-fasting glucose levels whatsoever, and not clear why this question arises. Other reasons should be sought. Perhaps instead, low blood sugar triggers vertigo? Have a conference with your doctor regarding this.
