Question

• Even if you see ALL OF THE SUBJECTS in our theoretical blood glucose study have LOWER blood glucose after they take the medication, does that mean that the blood glucose worked?
• What other factors could be influencing a lower blood glucose among all the participants? Would those factors be confounders? Effect mediators?
• If you had to take into consideration all of those other factors, would you still do a t test?

Answer 1

Medicines That Decrease Blood Sugar-

Heart and blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, Norpace, Quinidine) Quinine.

Popular medications like statins and diuretics can come with the side effect of raising your blood sugar levels and that can be a problem whether or not you have diabetes.

For people without diabetes, their blood sugar returns to near normal range about 1-2 hours after eating as a result of the effects of insulin. Also, their blood sugar levels typically don't climb as high as people with diabetes because insulin is immediately delivered into their circulatory system while eating.

factors-

Food, drink and illness. Food, alcohol, tiredness and stress can all impact blood glucose levels. Many people are surprised to know that protein can affect blood sugar levels, too.

WHAT CAN MAKE MY BLOOD GLUCOSE RISE?

• Too much food, such as a meal or snack with more carbohydrates than usual.
• Not being active.
• Not enough insulin or oral diabetes medications.
• Side effects from other medications, such as steroids or antipsychotic medications.

The following factors can make hypoglycemia more likely-

• Not eating enough carbohydrates (carbs)
• Skipping or delaying a meal
• Increasing physical activity
• Drinking too much alcohol without enough food
• Being sick
• Check blood glucose levels
• Eat regular meals and snacks
• Be physically active safely.

Carbohydrates have the greatest impact on blood glucose levels. If you have diabetes, your carbohydrate intake is the most important part of your diet to consider when it comes to managing your blood sugar levels.

In summary, fasting glucose level mediates the association between abdominal obesity status and relative HGS in Colombian older adults. Our findings illustrate the importance of glucose control and healthy habits for the prevention of insulin resistance in older with abdominal obesity and the relevance of optimum muscular strength. Longitudinal studies are required in the future to further clarify the influence of glucose levels on this relationship in community-dwelling older adults.

Yes i still perform test because Test strips that have expired or have been exposed to extreme heat or cold can provide inaccurate readings. If you use one of these and then move to a new box, you could get very different numbers. Also, make sure you are using the correct test strip.

An active component in the test strip chemistry, called an enzyme, can be sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. Temperature and humidity extremes can cause the enzyme activity to decrease and affect the accuracy of results. Your body also reacts differently at different temperatures.
