Why my fasting blood sugar is high??

by Sunil Patel

QUESTION: Sir,
I like your website and it has lot of information...I am measuring my blood sugar level since last 4 days: fasting and 2 hrs after breakfast. Following are the values noted..

1. fasting 104 after breakfast-104
2. fasting 108 after breakfast-110
3. fasting 109 after breakfast-108
4. fasting 114 after breakfast-112

In diner I took mango juice all 4 days with dinner(Indian meals)

I want to know why my fasting blood sugar is high?? Is it because of mango?? as my after breakfast level is normal i think...

Kindly advise...
Thanks and regards.


ANSWER: Hi,

To me your fasting blood sugar levels seem to be normal (perfect). It is true that what you eat for dinner will affect your morning blood sugar. However, there is a tendency to get higher blood glucose levels (diabetes) in the future.

That's why you need to observe what's causing you high morning blood sugar. So, if you thing mango (perhaps), just stop eating mango for dinner (1 week) and see what's happening to your fasting blood sugar.

If you seen mango doesn't affect, then see what you have for dinner and if your doubts are on certain foods, just stop eating them (for 1 week) and see what happens to your blood glucose.

Stress, alcohol, tobacco can affect and cause elevated fasting blood sugar levels; so take your precautions.

Take care!

CONCERN: Dear sir,
i am 28 yrs old lady ,Married..
i've hypo throid and i am very thin..
sir,last December i did my blood test..where doctor said that my blood sugar is high..it was 107(fasting)
sir but the thing is i was not fasting ,i mean i had tea in the night and in the morning as well..
i do not have any history of Diabetes in my parents family..
i've controlled my sugar drastically,but still do take some time tea(one spoon) thats it..
I am very scared to do the test once again.
Pl help me out..


SUGGESTIONS: Hi Malini,

The hormones of thyroid play an important role in the glucose metabolism. Therefore, every problem with hyper or hypothyroidism has negative impact on blood glucose levels.

Your blood glucose of 107 is not considered that high to confirm a diabetes diagnosis although it is within the limits of pre-diabetes. However, you need to perform further tests to confirm the diagnosis.

CONCERN: I had mango juice this late afternoon and checked my sugar level one hour after the meal. It was 208. I have been checking my sugar levels of and on and they are normal.


Is it possible for a non-diabetic to get high reading like 208 once in a while?

SUGGESTIONS: Hi,

It is true that a non-diabetic can occasionally have such high blood sugar levels. However, you should measure your glucose 2 hours after eating, and not after 1 hour as you did. There are many factors that contribute, the details of which you might get by clicking here.
