Diabetes “normal” blood sugar levels?

I have done a lot of reading online about what normal results are for blood sugar levels and the majority of health sites seem to say 70 to 100.

I test myself with a home kit about once a week because diabetes runs in my family. My lowest was 62 and my highest is never over 71. I seem to get the number 69 a lot. I test in the afternoons, at least two hours after I have eaten lunch, as suggested on different sites for the most accurate reading.

Should I be considered that my blood sugar is constantly on the low side, even though I am only one point from what it considered normal on average?

Blood glucose level staying relatively low after eating?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently bought a home testing kit for diabetes.
Ive not yet seen a doctor as ive moved miles away from my hometown and haven’t yet registered with a new doctor.

Ive always been curious about my blood sugar levels as a few times after not eating for a few hours, i all of a sudden feel really weak, dizzy, sick, cant stand, start sweating like mad and just dont feel good at all.
It sometimes happens after a night of heavy drinking aswell.

I looked this up and it came up as low blood sugar symptoms.

Ive been testing throughout the day, and the results always come between 4.9 – 5.5 which is good. I dont usually eat hearty meals throughout the day, just little snacks.

But when i have eaten a proper meal, ill test an hour later, hour and half, and 2hours later.. just because im unsure when the best time to test is.
And the results come up around 5.4/5.5 everytime.

Is that low after eating a proper meal? Or is it nothing to worry about?

Cheers.

Advice from a doctor please?

a few weeks ago, i kinda blacked out, my family have a history of diabetes so my dad got his home blood sugar level kit out, and my blood sugar was 4.7, is that normal for a 16 year old for about 2PM? now 3/4 weeks after that, i have dropped almost 4 inches off my waist, i was in 34inch waist jeans, and now 32 inch ones are on the large side. I have a blood test scheduled for next friday, however i have a huuuuge phobia of needles and will probably end up bottling it. Should i be worried by my condition?
thank you all in advance x
i’m in england, so the blood sugar kits are different, a doctor told me the level was normal, but my family say its way too low

Health related questions (Help!)?

In short…
A few months back we thought I had hypoglycemia. Symptoms being: Headaches, eye pain, mood changes mostly pending on food, shaky with out food, chronic fatigue etc… We recently got a kit to test blood sugar levels and they are usually between 125 and 145, once it was 163. Would this be considered “impaired glucose tolerance” more close to diabetes or is this normal range? (19 years old, female, 125 pounds) I have no health insurance at this time and am looking for advice. I have a few health things going on. Others being on my period 3 weeks a month, off one week a month. I’ve never been one to be tired but lately I need more sleep. Mood swings. I do have to eat something every hour or everything gets worse (Shaky, head ache, mood swings, depressed, tired, weak, behind my eyes hurt, dizzy, most symptoms of hypoglycemia) Any ideas, help? Advice?
Added:
Also starting a few months back I have had on and off bad sharp abdominal pains everywhere from my upper thigh to rib cage in various locations. Seems to be kept under control with fibrous food and plenty of water, for the most part.

I have a question about Bone Density test results?

My doctor told me my T score for my spine is-11 after telling me that -1 is a normal score. He said my osteoporosis is severe and I’d have to take injections. Just how bad can the T score get? He had me so shook up, I couldn’t think to ask him the questions I should have asked. I’ll see him again but for now can anyone reassure me at all? Would pills like Fosamax, Evista or Boniva work at all with the severity of my osteoporosis or do I have to freak myself out trying to decide which of the shots to go for when all I read are horror stories about their side effects. Thanks in advance for any support you may give me.

Is it safe to take Omega-3 Fish Oil Pills during pregnancy if they contain mackerel?

Okay, so I’m 5 weeks pregnant and know that Omega-3 fatty acid fish oil pills help with brain and eye development for baby if you take them while pregnant, so I bought some. I took it home and realized that it contains anchovy, cod, sardine, and Mackerel. I read that mackerel contains high mercury content and thats definitely one of the fish pregant women should refrain from eating. But the bottle says that the pills were “molecularly distilled to remove pesticide, PCBs, and heavy metals.” So do you think they’re safe to take while pregnant since they say they distill them to remove heavy metals (such as mercury)? I’m going to ask my doc later, but just wanna hear some opinions from you guys. Thanks ahead of time!

Tell me pink or blue gender test accuracy?

Has anybody used the tell me pink or blue dna gender test? It is not the intelligender where you pee in a cup and it changes color. You actually prick your finger and it looks for the presence of x or y chromosomes. I guess by 10 weeks your babys blood is mixed some with yours through the cord. Babies blood gets passed into your blood stream. If your test shows just x chromosomes its a girl. x and y its a boy. Has anybody tried this?? I have the kit but dont wanna spend 150 bucks it it is innacurate. It says it is 95% accurate and if the u/s shows something else u get ur money back. I know they have had issues in 07 but I guess they improved their instructions and test. Anybody?
