What Are The Causes That Would Lead To Increase In The Sugar Level In Body?

I had a blood test yesterday and my Doctor called me to let me know that my sugar level is 11. I do not understand this because I have lost 24 Lbs. and I eat very healthy, plenty of fruit and vegetables. I do not eat bread, very little rice and potatoes, These are the foods he told me eliminate in my diet because they are high in carbs. I do not eat cake, cookies or anything sweet, just plenty of fruit with yogurt. What do you suggest I do for this problem, do you think it could be another problem causing my sugar to elevate?

Hi,

There are various factors causing sugar increase:
- medications you take
- the foods you've consumed the night prior to testing
- morning hormones
- stress

To determine the diagnosis of diabetes, further tests are necessary including:
- oral glucose tolerance test
- HbA1C test

Depending on the results, it will be determined whether you have diabetes or not.
Keep on following the same lifestyle and diet changes as you are doing now!
