Will Diabetes Affect My Wedding Day

0

I am just starting to plan my wedding day and I am wondering what I can do to make sure that diabetes doesn't affect my day.

I haven't long been diagnosed as a pre diabetic so I am nervous that the extra excitement/stress of the day could play havoc with my sugar levels and maybe end up in me having a black out.

I am sure that  it will be ok but I am sure you can understand why I am so worried. Having to look for a plus sized wedding dress is stressing me out enough as it is without having to worry about the chance of a hypoglycemic fit.

So what precautions should I be taking before my wedding to make sure that the day goes as smoothly as possible?

Could I have pre-diabetes?

3
I have been having most every symptom of diabetes. Except for the rapid weight loss.
 
Recently I had checked my blood sugar after about an hour of eating a piece of candy and chocolate milk. I was babysitting a kid with diabetes so I figured why not check mine. it was 135. Which I thought was good because he told me it was.
 
Lately I have been having more symptoms and so I was looking around here and the internet and I saw someone saying he was diagnosed with pre-diabetes because his was 130.
 
Could I be pre-diabetic?

Can I test myself for Hypoglycemia?

I was in class the other day when a friend of mine commented that I am always "kinda shaky and cranky" at certain times of the day and it occurred to me that I am usually also very hungry at those times, but couldn't do anything about it because I need to concentrate in that class and can't concentrate after I eat.
 
I seem to get extremely sleepy after eating as well, to the point where I can drink a big cup of strong coffee with lunch and will still some times wind up falling asleep in public places. It seems to be especially bad if I eat a lot after not having eaten in a long time. I asked around and a couple of people told me that it sounds like I'm hypoglycemic, which is apparently linked to diabetes.
 
My dad was diagnosed as being borderline diabetic a couple of years ago, and apparently you can inherit a predisposition for it, so its got me a little concerned. I'm not really over weight though, and I never had any problems like this as a kid.
