The Necessity Of Self Monitoring Blood Sugar Levels In Diabetes by raksha

Diabetes is a condition that results from the body’s failure to produce adequate amount of insulin which in turn results in increased blood sugar levels. Self monitoring is extremely important if one has to control the disease.

India leads the race when it comes to the most number of people suffering from diabetes with an estimated figure of 51 million suffering from its symptoms. Close on the heels is China where the people affected by increased blood sugar levels hovers around 44 million. The figures are staggering and numbers have been steadily rising over the last 2 decades.

Lifestyle changes and transformations in eating and drinking habits are thought to be the main reasons behind the exponential burst of diabetes. In diabetes, the body fails to produce the desired amount of insulin, a substance through which the muscles and tissues of the body absorb glucose. Due to this, the blood sugar levels in the body rise in turn causing damage to different body parts. In case of severe diabetes, the person often develops gangrene with amputation being the last resort.

Medications can help to reduce the blood sugar levels in the body but this also has an impending danger if the blood sugar levels in the body plummet below the desired levels, the person may faint or suffer from a stroke. Thus it is extremely important that the blood sugar levels always be maintained and so as to achieve this, more than others the person himself should take up the responsibility of self monitoring. Self monitoring can help the person to understand how the body is handling different types of food, exercises, medication, stress and illnesses and take action accordingly. A comprehensive analysis of this data will also help doctor to determine the type of medications suited to your needs.

Testing one’s blood glucose levels isn’t difficult and can be done at home itself. However you need to buy certain medical equipments These include a blood glucose meter, test strips and a lancing device. In order to start testing, firstly wash your hands with warm water. This will increase the blood flow towards your fingertips. Follow the instructions as given on the lancing device to get the drop of blood and then apply the blood to the test strip as directed. Wait for a few second to view the results (the strip gives the average blood glucose sugar level in the body). Dispose of the strip and lancet thereafter. It is recommended that you take the test once on an empty stomach and 12 hours thereafter to view the results before and after consuming food.

Undertaking this procedure every 4-5 days will help you to understand whether your blood sugar levels are under control. It will also save you much time and effort paying the doctor a visit to check your blood sugar levels.

Am I at any risk of getting diabetes?

Today my dad made me take a glucose reading with his strip blood reader thing. I am a very healthy 16 year old male who is, and I dont mean to brag, in tip-top shape. I am 5'9, and weigh 160 pounds approx. and max bench 225. I run track and play football, and my 40 time is a 4.6. Even with those numbers though, I do find that my stamina fails me sometimes while playing sports, and I can feel tired just a little after starting. I never eat junk food, and when I say that I mean rarely ever. I do chew sugar-free, (with small amounts of sugar alcohol) gum almost religiously, and I do drink a lot of water (on some days up to 7 to 8 water bottles.) Anyways, my glucose reading was a very high 151, and now my family is worried about me. I love to eat fruit by the way, every day. Could the fact that I had eaten a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch twenty minutes before have been a reason? Please help me because these readings almost seem unbelievable...

Eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (yum) will definitely raise your blood sugar whether you are diabetic or not. The guidelines for diabetics to test there blood sugars are when they first get up(fasting), before a meal if they are trying to find out how particular foods affect them, 2 hours after a meal (blood sugar reading should be 170 or under), before bed, sometime during the night and then begin again with fasting blood sugar readings. Fasting sugars should be 90-110 in normal people and in diabetics whose sugars are properly controlled. The other readings are for informational purposes mostly when someone is already a diabetic and are looking to find out how well their diet is working. So, bottom line is unless your fasting blood sugars are consistenly over 110, then you really don't have anything to worry about. If diabetes runs in your family, then it would be wise for you to watch your diet, your weight and keep on an exercise program for prevention. If you begin to show symptoms of diabetes, like weight gain or loss, fatigue, excessive urination, excessive thirst, then a trip to your doctor and a glucose tolerance test would be in order. There is some evidence that if you are pre-diabetic with unstable blood sugars, your doctor can prescribe Metformin and it can help prevent you from developing full blown diabetes if it is given in the early stages. Hope this helps.
