In modern society, blood sugar levels have become one of the important indicators to measure people's health status. Especially for those who are concerned about their health and regularly monitor their blood sugar, fluctuations in blood sugar levels often attract their attention. Sometimes, we come across fasting measured blood sugar up to 85, this may seem beyond the normal range, but in fact, if it is due to the following three types of situations, there is no need to worry too much.
First of all, let's be clear that the normal range for fasting blood sugar is usually 39 to 61 mmoll l. If the fasting blood sugar exceeds this range, it really needs to be brought to our attention.
However, when we found that the fasting blood sugar was 8At 5 o'clock, there is no need to panic immediately. Sometimes, the increase in blood sugar may be due to certain physiological conditions or behaviors, and in these cases, the increase in blood sugar is temporary and does not cause long-term health effects.
The first condition is stress hyperglycemia. When our body is in a state of stress, such as surgery, trauma, infection, etc., the body will release some hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, etc., in order to cope with these stresses.
These hormones cause the liver to release more glucose into the bloodstream, which causes blood sugar to rise. In this case, the increase in fasting blood sugar is a normal stress response of the body, and as the stress state is relieved, the blood sugar level will gradually return to normal.
The second is an increase in blood sugar due to dietary factors. Sometimes, eating too much high-sugar, high-fat food the night before, or having dinner too late, can affect the fasting blood sugar measurement the next day. Because food releases glucose during digestion, the body's metabolism slows down during sleep, resulting in less consumption of glucose in the body.
Therefore, if you consume too much sugar at dinner, you may experience a high blood sugar measurement on the next day. In this case, we only need to adjust our eating habits to avoid eating too late or eating too many high-sugar foods to improve our blood sugar levels.
The third case is the effect of the drug. Some medications, such as diuretics and hormone medications, may affect the metabolism of blood sugar, causing blood sugar to rise. If you're taking these medications and notice that your fasting blood sugar is high, it may be caused by the medications. In this case, it is advisable to consult a doctor to understand the effect of the drug on blood sugar and adjust the medication regimen according to the doctor's recommendations.
Of course, although the above three conditions may cause high fasting blood sugar, we cannot ignore other possible causes, such as chronic diseases such as diabetes. Therefore, when fasting blood sugar is found to be high, we still need to be vigilant and consult a doctor in time for further examination and diagnosis.
In short, fasting blood sugar 85 doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong with your health. In certain situations, such as stress, dietary factors, or medications, the increase in blood sugar is temporary and does not cause long-term health effects. Therefore, when we find that fasting blood sugar is high, we do not need to worry too much, but should find out the possible causes based on our actual situation and take corresponding measures to adjust.
