I have looked around & though I have found some of my symptoms I have some which have thrown me off:
My grandmother & my other grandfather both had diabetes. My mom had diabetes when she was pregnant with me
I am overweight & 17
I get sick if I don’t eat on time. Dizziness/headaches start to kick in about half an hour or so after I miss my meal & get increasingly worse as time goes on
Always have headaches (I am not sure if this is relevant but it doesn’t hurt to include all the facts)
Exercise schedule varies
Tend to be dehydrated, but I get thirsty a lot
Tend to have to go to the bathroom a lot
Tend to eat unhealthily
I have had moments where I’ll be looking at something in & everything will turn to black and white & I will feel my self swaying back and forth. My head will pound & I feel chills
I have slow healing cut/scratches
I’ve recently found out that chocolate and natural sugars help to dull/numb the pain and even make it go away.
What should I do?

I dont mean crash diet, please read. A friend of mine has an appointment to be tested for diabetes, and she would like to start eating better beforehand, and exercise too. She's afraid to continue on the way she is and make it worse.
The thing is, she can loose weight pretty quick, even by eating the proper amount of foods (i.e. she wouldnt be starving herself) but, is it bad for diabetics to loose weight fast like that? Neither one of us know much about it. Thanks. Hm, I like both answers. Thank you.

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
