Is there a diffrence in blood glucose levels from country to country?
I seem to have been rated down 4 times in an question that I answered yesterday in relation to diabetes where the blood glucose level was in the high 200's. Maybe the levels are different for different countries. Is this the case? In Australia a normal blood suger is 4.5, not in the high 80' to 90's. Am I right or are other people making me out to be making up my information? The next answer to mine seems to on the same track as me.
Forget the ratings. They're meaningless. Just point people to the BGL converter here: http://www.brist.plus.com/convert.htm
In the U.S. we use milligrams per deciliter. In the U.K. and Canada, they use millimoles per liter. They differ only by a factor of 18. Elsewhere, I have no idea.
U.S. norm fasting: 70 to 110 mg/dl
U.K. norm fasting: 3.9 to 6.1 mmol/l

Low GI eating has advantages for everyone-including healthy, growing children. By raising blood glucose and insulin levels more gradually and evenly (which means food is more filling), low GI diets reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. An essential guide to raising and nourishing children of all ages, The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook has ideas for healthy meals for every time of day, from breakfast to dinner to dessert. You’ll also learn strategies to help kids make smart food choices, how to plan balanced diets and substitute high GI foods with low GI alternatives, and information for feeding kids with food allergies or sensitivities. With low GI varieties of family favorites like mac ’n’ cheese and spaghetti with meatballs, this cookbook also includes many other tasty, kid-tested recipes, including, baked crispy fish pieces, French toast with strawberry and banana topping, cheesy vegetable patties, frozen berry yogurt popsicles, homemade popcorn, and easy tomato tuna pasta. Providing your family with the nutrition they require can be a challenge when you’re confronted with a range of ages and preferences. But with The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Family Cookbook, you can feed your whole family nutritious and enticing meals while learning the healthy eating habits of the GI-for a lifetime of health and vitality.

And tired of the sugar lows? Everyday I have a sugar low 2 or 3 times. I always take the appropriate amount of insulin for where I am now, but I guess I'm just not eating enough to compensate ...I either get full to quickly or lose interest in what I am eating. The lows really knock me on my butt for an hour or so.
Can anyone relate?
No, but my mom is type II diabetic as well. Not when she was pregnant, but she's been working for about 10 years now to get her condition to the point where she doesn't need as much medication. She's on oral pills, though, no injections.
Do you think maybe you could ask your doctor to adjust your insulin to your current diet? If you're having lows that many times a day I would think something could be done about it. Especially since a bout of low sugar is pretty debilitating. Sorry you have to deal with all that.
Does all this stuff seem to go back to "normal" when you're not pregnant? Just wondering. Good luck.

I like yoga and a few more men are taking it, unlike pilates where the classes are mainly women.
lol just take it, it's not unmanly.
if you don't question your masculinity, no one else will either.
besides, i thought straight guys would be thrilled to be surrounded by women; lol jk.
but anyway yeah it's no big deal, macho football players do ballet, so no problem with you doing yoga.
