The key to knowing what you can eat is to test, test, test. If you want to eat oranges, eat one and then test two hours later and make sure your blood sugar is under 140. If not, then you either can't eat oranges or you might have to eat 1/2 an orange.
As for waking in the middle of the night to urinate, this can be caused by high blood sugars. Again, test to see where your blood sugars are at.
Good for you on making some great changes in your lifestyle; it really makes a difference!
Hi All ,
I have made some significant changes in my lifestyle including Quitting smoking , joining a gym and reducing the carbs .I do have a question regarding fruits like Oranges ( I just love them ) . Will they hurt me in any way if I keep eating one or more fruits per day ?
I also heard that guava( without skin )is really good to lower the sugar level ?
Over the last 4 days i have been waking in the middle of the night to urinate which i think is mainly because of the stress . Is that a normal or a person has to live with that ?
An A1C of 6.9 would be diabetic as the cutoff is 6.0. However, the OP is not referring to an A1C but to a fasting blood sugar of 6.9 on the Canadian number system which is equivalent to 124 U.S. and is pre-diabetic (126 would be diabetic). The different number systems can be confusing.
A1C is 6.9 is right before the borther line. You should watch your diet and exercise more in order to prevent diabetes from being diagnosed.
I regret that it happened to me 10 months ago when my doctor told me of this number but I seemed not to care. Now I am a diabetic :-(
Hello,
I had my random glucose checcked which was at 4.8 well within normal limits .Do you think some one with fasting level of 6.8 can have random level at 4.8 ?
If it is 6.9 mmol/l then it is not diabetes and you need not worry. If its is Hb1Ac 6.9 then its definitely diabetes mellitus. For bloated feeling, you need to regularise your diet, have lot of green leafy vegetables and exercise regularly. You will be fine.
