Help!!!! Help!!! Diabetic question?

Make a long story short. I'm not a diabetic. How ever I do check it like I check my blood pressure. Understand that this morning I woke up my gluclose had read out a 46,I checked it 2 mins after it was a 69.I know when u are a diabetic your test results can come back false if u are dehydrated. I know I'm dehydrated b/cuz I went to the E.R. yesterday and the told me I was.My big question can I check my gluclose and can it come back false b/cuz I am dehydrated. For sure it can happened to a diabetic can it happen to non diabetics

I had this same problem when my Doctor changed my meds. He had me get up and check my blood sugar in the middle of the night and have a snack if it was needed. You may need to do this also but check with your Doctor first.

You were testing down at the bottom end of the scale. When your blood glucose is that low the meter is not as accurate, because it doesn't need to be. The test is designed to work better at a higher level on the scale.

Also in the morning you have something called the 'dawn phenomenon', which makes your blood glucose rise rapidly when you get up. I don't think it could go from 46 to 69 in two minutes, but that might account for part of the difference.

Sure,my advice is to see your family doctor,i'm an alcoholic and dehydration can kill you,i get up and drink water like it's the last gallon on earth,also my cat wakes me up .thank god.
