Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Anybody else check their glucose? I check mine at work ... when I'm sitting around being bored. It's usually 55-70's. People at work say it is 2low.That's probably b/c we are medics and they teach us in school that good glucose is 80-120's. I think they teach us that for dealing with our diabetics and such. I eat a TON but don't eat like most of the people I work with. I probably eat less carbs .... but I eat a lot and I feel fine. I figured u guys might have some input since u are so good with this kinda stuff. I think my glucose levels are healthy.Am I wrong?

I work as a firefighter/paramedic, so I've had the occasional boredom set in, and checked mine at work; usually sits smack dab in the norm range at around 5.2-5.4mmol/L.(to covert to mg/dL multiply by 18)
I've checked mine after fasting for a few hours, and had fasting glucose tests done by my doc, and there's no difference.
Being on the lower end is actually a better thing in the end; just just means your insulin is that much more effective.
Well, at least it sounds good, lol.
If I sat around at the 10mmol/L range all the time, I'd be worried about becoming NIDDM eventually.

OMG -- a response. Finally. Thank u. I'm a firefighter/paramedic, 2!!!!!!!It sounds like your glucose is a little higher than mine, but like I said -- I feel fine. I'll just watch it. I was kinda curious about what the fitness yodas would think. i figured they would know a lot more about if it would have any negative effects on my fitness level, muscle, ect. I know how to tell if glucose is causing a serious problem ... I was wanting to know about the whole fitness aspect of it all. I don't want my muscles to be STARVED or anything. THANKS 4 the response.MikeMartial said:
Great. That's 3 of us, so far. I bet there's more.zero3si said:
I can't remember EVER finding my glucose to be higher than 70's. The highest I remember was 78 ... and that happened maybe one time. I have been watching it closer, lately. It was in the 50's most of the time. Sometimes 60's. Maybe I'm just strange. Thanx for the response! Stay safe.
