I don't know about the fluctuation but I do know that after mine was measured at 145 I started exercising and lost weight. Next time it was 91 and then 80. All were fasting. I know that doesn't work for everybody but it did for me, thank goodness.

Was either one a fasting level? If you hadn't eaten before the second one, it would be lower.

It depends on what you have eaten in the previous 2 hours.

If I eat anything with white rice flour my BG will climb 60 points

in 2 hours. Some foods have low glycemic levels. Meats and

most vegetables will not raise my levels. It is a 2 hour reading

window. Hope this helps. The best way to check is in the morning after

an 8 hour fast, this way you will know if you have a problem.

Deb,

This is all new to me. My husband and I are experimenting

with Betty Hagemann's Featherlight Mix. It contains rice, tapioca,

and cornstarch+potato flour. The tapioca flour has less (carbs)

than the rice, and cornstarch even less than both. He made some

apple pies with sweet and low which worked out well for me.

You have to really read labels and know how many carbs are

in each serving. I just got the gluten-free diet down pat, now this!

The only thing the dietician taught me was how to count

carbs, 15 carbohydrates=1 carb. I am supposed to have 12-14

carbs per day which is very hard to do, although I am slowly

losing weight, 25 lbs so far! Wish I could tell you more, give me another

year. :rolleyes: Try different flours and remember to test in 2hours.

We are thinking about the bean flours next.

Hi WhiteLace. I have T1 Diabetes, and I'm still working on a celiac diagnosis.

A blood sugar of 174 after eating a meal is I think acceptable for a non-diabetic. Recent findings have suggested this. The most important is before and 2 hrs after meals. Was the 174 fasting? If so, then you may have pre-diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Your best thing is to have your doctor do a fasting blood sugar in the lab and see what it says. If it's 120 or above then you need to discuss your options with your doctor, and maybe do a GTT to ck your glucose tolerance. And yes, your blood sugar numbers can bounce around.

If you need more advice let me know,

Heather

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
