I have been having some symptoms of diabetes for the past couple of weeks. I have been drinking tons of water and going to the bathroom nonstop. I have also had some blurred vision, shortness of breath, and nausea. I have a doctors appointment this week and I was wondering if anyone knew how they tested for diabetes and if they will be able to tell me the results right away or if it will take like a week to get them back or something? I was also wondering if there is anything else they might test me for? Any info you have would be helpful. Thanks!
TO ALL THE KIDS
WHO SURVIVED the
1930′s 40′s, 50′s, 60′s and 70′s !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
when you get your blood tested, do they test for diabetes too? like blood sugar levels, if so which one is it? i haev the paper with me but i cant see what its named under, i have a feeling its glucose but im just making sure?
Would you consider someone with a blood sugar of 75 to have low blood sugar. I come from strong family history on both sides of diabetes. I check every year with my doctor and do a full blood work up and plus my wife is diabetic so I randomly check my fasting blood sugar throw out year on her machine. A few days of ago I was really agitated telling my wife I was hungry and we needed to hurry up and leave because we were going to diner. She joked I was acting like I had low blood sugar even though an hour before I had a fruit juice smoothie. I tested and it was 75 that seemed low for just having a sugary drink to me. I called the nurse line and she said normal is 80-120 but 75 is ok and not to be concerned 70 or below is a number to be concerned with. Could I be becoming hypoglycemic? Do I need to start walking with a meter and testing?
Also in the afternoon I tend to have extreme extreme hunger , pain hungers. I try to keep snacks at my desk but it seems like nothing statisfies me
I feel the need to share my story with others whenever I can because it can save a life!
My son started acting strange on the day of his 2nd birthday. Just overnight he went from a very happy and energetic child to screaming and hitting you if you tried to touch him. He didn’t want to eat, all he wanted to do was drink milk which he asked for every 10 minutes. He was peeing to bed every single night, sometimes twice in one night. He was losing weight and his arms looked like toothpicks. Some days he would be energetic and other days not so much. We figured he was losing weight because he wasn’t eating, he was drinking excessively because he wouldn’t eat and was hungry, and he was peeing to bed because he was drinking too much. We ended up taking him to his pediatritian TWICE and he just brushed off my son’s symptoms, saying there was nothing wrong with him. He was just a two year old acting up. We believed our doctor, although there was this feeling in my heart that something wasn’t right but I pushed it to the back of my mind. A doctor knows what he is talking about, right? I was on yahoo answers frantically searching for any one who had went through this with their child.
A couple nights later my son started vomiting. He looked like he had a severe case of the flu. He was pale. After puking a couple of times, he seemed like he felt better so me and my husband put him to bed fully intending to take him back to the doctor the next day and demand answers.
Many blood glucose testing strips require that a code be entered into the meter that is indicated on the test strip container. I have no idea why this is required. Plus, what makes such a tiny piece of plastic worth $1 a strip?!

I hate animal testing so much but my dad takes diabetes pills that were tested on animals! I tell him to stop taking them, but he says he could die if he doesn’t, but I say TOUGH! It’s his fault for eating too much sugar, not the animals who died. How do I convince him to stop?
