Hey all =)
my names Ella. Im 16 years old.
today, june 5th 2008.
I decided to try my dad's TRUETRACK smart system thingy.
I don't know why I did it, I was bored lol I know, silly huh?
well anyway, I remembered watching Prison Break haha
there was a scene from season 1 where Sarah was talking about diabetes haha
well yeah i asked my aunt whats the normal Sugar Level and she said 120 or something
i dont remember but it was something like that.. omg but i have 124! :(
but i don't feel/have any of the symptoms..except for blurry vision if i didnt get to sleep
well the night before.
I'm really really really really scared..
I've cried over it, i dont know im just really scared..
Me bf, well my ex told me to go to the doctors
BUT im so scared to find out things.. :'(
what should i do!? :'(
Hey Ella!
A blood sugar reading of 124 is TOTALLY NORMAL.
"120" is the average number. Everyone's blood sugar's fluctuate throughout the day no matter whether they are diabetic or not.
For a non-diabetic, your blood sugar will fluctuate anywhere from 70 to 180 depending on whether you just exercised or ate a really sugary meal or lots of pizza, etc.
A DIABETIC who hasn't been treating their blood sugar would have a blood sugar reading of well over 300. When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my blood sugar was over 500.
Even though you're definitely NOT DIABETIC, next time you want to test your blood sugar with your dad's meter, ASK HIM. YOu have to make sure you're using a clean lancet and that your fingers are clean too. Plus, test strips are expensive, so we want to save most of them for your dad. :)
So there's no reason to worry, okay?
