I don't really require my diabetic patients to go lower than this range. Regarding Jet, I am worried about her , too. Her nightly duties can be stressful. I know it is difficult, but I think she should consider making time for some form of regular exercise. I agree with your opinion that in some patients, exercise can replace taking medicines. I have one patient myself who is like that. So far, his blood sugar levels are well-controlled. Thank you for your email again and please take good care of Jet.<BR/><BR/>BAYI - Hello! How are you doing?<BR/>Regarding your question --- blood sugar levels always fluctuate, even in a normal person. The problem arises when the body isn't able to cope with these changes. As long as the body can handle it, there is no problem. The answer to your question is...not necessarily. To be on the safe side, we do our best not to miss out on any major meals , eat 6 small meals daily and exercise regularly.Dr. Emerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407128557937763280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397704.post-75961052591921979812008-02-10T02:16:00.000+08:002008-02-10T02:16:00.000+08:00I find the post most interesting.While I am not a ...I find the post most interesting.<BR/><BR/>While I am not a diabetic, I am aware that I am a pre-diabetic, having both parents who have the condition.<BR/><BR/>I have avoided taking canned drinks for years now and I try to limit my intake of carbs. But there were occasions when I felt an onset of cold sweat, probably indicating a condition of insufficient blood sugar. Whenever I feel this, I try to take a beverage drink or eat something.<BR/><BR/>Is this an indication of sugar level fluctuations that can lead to diabetes?bayihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03413164906253126642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397704.post-3148181554294697822008-02-09T04:58:00.000+08:002008-02-09T04:58:00.000+08:00hi doc emer. thank you very much for the very info...hi doc emer. <BR/><BR/>thank you very much for the very informative post. i did learn a lot from it as i always do learn a lot from you.<BR/><BR/>my doctor has actually required me to have an A1C level of below 6.0 and has been monitoring this like a hawk ever since i started seeing her two years ago.<BR/><BR/>i have met it most of the time with a few relapses (over 6 A1C) once a year.<BR/><BR/>personally, i am not worried about myself because i am not taking any medication. my main diabetes "medicine" is exercise and diet and so far it has worked. <BR/><BR/>my blood sugar level is around 120 everytime i measure myself in the morning. i know it's over normal but i am not overly concerned about it. perhaps that's why i am still alive - the study suggests that the stress of trying to stay normal is one of the reasons why people die.<BR/><BR/>i am concerned about jet though because she does take a lot of meds for her diabetes. i'll make her read your post. she has an appoinment with her doctor next week and i want her to talk about this with him.<BR/><BR/>thanks again for the research.<BR/><BR/>take care and give my regards to soulmate.<BR/><BR/>jaybatjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09451712854270007128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397704.post-90521796546083720342008-02-09T04:31:00.000+08:002008-02-09T04:31:00.000+08:00I think my doctor is still using the standard trea...I think my doctor is still using the standard treatment for diabetics. So far, my BS and sugar levels are normal. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for explaining the study. I was a bit worried too.rollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910653328930948032noreply@blogger.com
