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.

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
