What was your FBG at diagnose?

[Michiko]

I am just curious...

My Fasting Blood Glucose was 289.... I ate 8 p.m. and went to a lab at 8:30 a.m. It was about 12 hours later..

I was about 600 at diagnosis but it wasn't a fasting test.

[princesslinda]

My fasting was 218...but my A1C (which shows 3 month average blood sugar) was 9.6 (meaning I had 3 month average of 264).

940, 1 hr after commencing rapid rate insulin infusion

361....but that wasn't from a blood draw...just a meter. They never did an a1c until I went to a new doctor a year or so later and got a correct dx...it was 12 at that point. He didn't do a fasting, so I don't know how high it was by then.

Mine was not a fasting either, it was over 600 when tested in the ER and then I was admited to the hospital.

my Bg was 23.1/415 on the morning of my diagnosis, i'd had a bowl of cereal an hour before. (they hadn't told me it was supposed to be a fasting blood test!)
my A1c was 9.8

Mine was 208 on 6/22/07

[sam123]

My FBG was 297 with an A1C of 10.6

[DVDBear]

When first diagnosed (10 years ago) - 220. I think the A1C was 8.something, don't remember exactly.

I never had a fasting blood sugar at diagnosis, but after I started insulin I had a fasting bg test of 175 just to "confirm" the dx.

I didn't know a meter could read that high (even a hospital model)!!! I had a dream once that I was over 1000.... but yours was real. Wow!

I don't know what mine was, but my sister was HI (over 500) then 494 a few minutes later on my home meter. We called my doc, gave her a dose of Humalog and she was in the mid 200's an 2 hours or so later at the hospital.

My FBG was 300...A1C of 13...and just to celebrate my new diagnosis..I went to Chick Fil-a and downed a chicken egg and cheese bagel (it was awesome)...Then..I sat back...took a deep breath...and learned many new things about my new condition. Six weeks later..I am down 25 pounds and average daily BG levels are in the mid 90s...This is based on testing in the morning...2 hours after breakfast...2 hours after lunch and 2 hours after dinner...and some times I throw in a random test...The metformin (2x500) is doing its job...but I think the excersize and diet are contributing quite a bit too...The number one thing to have a positive attitude...you have a choice...Let it control you...or you can control it. My goal...50 more pounds off and hopefully Metformin goes away...at least until I get a little older...Right now diabetes has been a good thing...I am losing weight...and I feel great...and I am still eating tasty meals...just ones I would not have thought of before...I feel better than I have in the last 10 years...its hard work...but life is worth it..

I had a fasting reading of 396 and an A1c of 10.9.

I only had an A1C test during a physical, it was thirteen and a half. Next one was a seven three month later, only half that time on Amaryl

[ProjectZero]

At diagnosis, my FBG was 310 with an A1C of 11.4.

6 months later, average FBG now hovers between 90-100 and the A1C is 6.5. woo hoo.

[Jill-O]

I think it was 244, and my first A1C was awful at 11.7 :(

[mortis505]

573 at Dx, with an A1C of 14+ when admitted to the Hospital May '07, now I run between 80-120 and am still waiting for the results from my A1C.
