Question........

[memphisGuy]

My mom checked my bp and sugar earlier   (at home)

Bp was: 123/84 and my sugar was 116.

She said those were good numbers and i should stop worrying about my health (she is a diabetic btw).

After calming down and feeling good i decided to look up some things and it showed my sugar was actually prediaetic numbers and all this stuff about fasting etc

I just want some clarification on the situation as now i am worried again  and don't know what to do. Are these good numbers or should i need meds at some point?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thnx

Your bp is perfectly fine and your sugar is above average. The whole "pre-diabetic" thing is an arguable term at best, some people's just fluctualtes a lot, most people actually.

So by these numbers im pretty fine right?

By these numbers you are fine!!! Nothing wrong with them at all.

If your number was 116 a couple of hours after eating than you are in great shape.
If you have not eaten for over 12 hours, than according to my doctor, you are in the
pre-diabetic range.

Hi D:) How old are you? Any known health issues? Have you had a recent checkup?

Blood sugar numbers fluctuate. BP fluctuates. You are not able to put these numbers into the, OVERALL, context of your general health. Your Doc can. And, this is what Docs do. They take ALL of our medical information and history and make an analysis of what to do next. OVERWHELMINGLY, what they do next is nothing, as most of us walking the Earth are pretty darn healthy. If you need further attention, you will be told what to do and you will be told when to come back in for another checkup. Of course, I know this sounds simplistic, but this is pretty much how we need to address our health concerns when we have HA. Regular check-ups and regular age-related screenings (and / or family history dictated screenings). All else, likely, falls into feeding our HA. And, THEN, oue issues can bleed over into many facets of our lives....we don't want this:)

What is going on with your anxiety treatment? What do you do daily?

Peace and Feel Well:)

Like others are saying, it depends on when you took your sugar.  If you had eaten recently, 116 is fine.  If it's your result first thing after you wake up, you're still fine, but you probably should work on eating better and exercising.  I think you should do it anyway since it's good for you =)
