Random blood glucose 138?



I had been reading alot about diabetes and am very concerned. I went to the hospital because I had a slight panic attack and they took all sorts of bloods. He was concerned that my potassium was low, but on the same test sheet it said Glucose 138 H, he didn't even seem bothered or mention anything about it....
I answered your question, but I'll go further here for you. My FASTING glucose was 174, and they told me it was possibly diabetes. They recommended followup with my doctor within 2 weeks.   

  

The doctor will perform an A1C test - that will indicate whether you do or don't have diabetes. It's a simple finger stick that takes 5 minutes to read.   

  

Satisfied now?
brief answer: hi, what is the reason for getting the investigations? detailed answer: hi, thanks for posting the query, may i know which investigations were done to give the xxxxxxx score for your heart? do you have any previous illness like diabetes and hypertension? do you take any medicines?... you're experiencing a faux low. this happens when your blood sugar drops to a normal range after running consistently high. your body responds to this change as if it’s in real hypoglycemia (below 70 mg/dl). when i first started doing a low carb to reverse type 2 diabetes, i would get hypoglycemic faintness too. if you have had problems with excessive bleeding this may be related. obviously you must be seeing a doctor and you should address this question to the person ordering your tests. good luck. see more... dear sham park<br>cholesterol medication can cause abnormal liver functions - one is usually worried when the count is 2-3 times higher than normal. i would just monitor this to see that the levels stay stable and change or stop medication if it constantly increases. lily<br><br>thank you for visiting health24.com.<br><br>i recommend that you make an appointment with a cardiologist, to rule ischemic heart disease. you should also have a chest x-ray, a mammogram and an ultrasound of your breast done, to exclude any underlying causes.<br><br>kind regards<br><br><br><br><br>dr anrich burger if the amount is very low. it is normal. dont worry dear worried<br><br>i do not think there is reason to be worried, but best would be to talk to your gp.<br><br>regards, maritha<br><br> grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck. while children with diabetes are at risk for complications, they can do very well, provided they are followed regularly by their physician and have their sugars consistently well controlled. see more... brown blood is old blood so it could have been when your dr has given you an exam he&#39;s just irritated the area. it could also be remnants of implantation. i would say aslong as its not red blood you should be fine but you should ring your dr and discuss with him to ease your mind as you don&#39;t want to be stressing yourself out if you don&#39;t need to be
good luck and let me know what happens x
