Sugar Levels?

I had a blood test after my endoscopy to test for vitamin def. I got the results back and my sugar level was sky high at 168. This concerns me since I did not eat anything for 10 hours prior to the test (granted the last thing I ate was wedding cake, but I would have thought it would be out of my system by then).

Should I be concerned about that sugar level? Could stress from the procedure make it that much higher or something in the medication to knock you out? I am seeing the Dr. tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone experienced something like that after a procedure.

That is pretty high for a fasting number. The stress of the test could be a factor but your doctor will want to repeat a fasting blood sugar and maybe do a glucose tolerance and and A1c (I think that's it). The last test will give him your average blood sugar over the last 3 months. Celiac is common in diabetics, I was diagnosed a month or so ago. My doctor feels it was directly caused by the years of misdiagnosed celiac.

Ditto. Yes, the test is called hemoglobin A1C.

Whew. I am so glad that things were okay. It is good though that you are tuned into the need to watch out for it.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
