Basically, that's my problem. I'm ALWAYS thirsty.
It doesn't really bother me, other than the fact that I go through every liquid in the house like it's nothing. I don't know why though.
I know it's a symptom of diabetes, but I've been tested for that already and I'm not diabetic. I've been like this since I was a kid. Seriously, it freaks me out because everyone will be on their first glass of water, milk, juice, etc. and I will easily be on my 5th or 6th. Seriously, I don't know why I'm always so thirsty! Any ideas?

Has anyone ever blacked out from Hypoglycemia?
I have had hypo symptoms since I was a kid, so has my brother. My grandpa is diabetic so I think it is an un-avoidable fate to have blood sugar problems in my family.
I have been getting my weakness "spells" very quickly lately, I mean the onset is within a couple minutes of feeling hungry. I used to have at least an hour or so before i started to get the usual symptoms like sweats, faintness, irritability, unable to think clearly, etc. Which NO ONE at my work seems to understand.. they look at me like Im losing my head or are a hypochondriac.
Maybe it's getting worse? I actually blacked out last weekend, and I have never had that before!
My doc said that she doesn't think i Have hypoglycemia. But the only times she ever checked my blood sugar levels was after lunch time and stuff when i had my sugar up.
What can i do to curb the symptoms without packing on a ton of weight?

Abril H asked:
This is my first baby at 39 and I am a little scared of what is going on. We see the Dr. tomorrow, but I am still scared. I have only put on 15lb so far and just started walking again. I am 5″1 1/2 and 164.lb. I do eat fairly well, fruits, veggies, and home grown meat. I guess after the 3 hour test my score should have been under 105 and mine was 131. Just want to know what I should be doing and eating to keep my baby boy healthy. I was hoping so much to have a natural delivery and to go full term. Just hoping you gals out there would have some more info. Thanks all
