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?

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?

 

I was 11 years old and am only 18 now. How can i help others like me i would really like to help small kids as i know how hard it was for me when i was only 11.

 

I don't remember what time or what she ate but I do know that these readings were AFTER she ate. Here are some of them: 168, 163, 161, 159, 155 (and several others over 140, but she has had a few normal readings and her fasting reading is normal). She also had a 62 after running around with friends.

 

So do you think this warrants a trip to an endocronologist? Or do you think her doctor is right calling her pre-diabetic? She is not overweight and eats like a normal kid (not an over amount of sugar but some sweets now and then).

 

She is under 18 and on the lower end of normal for weight. We took her reading an hour after eating 4 chicken wings today and it was 143. Her doctor told us to check her fasting ever few days and they have been normal. He also told us to check an hour after and 2 hours after because he wants to find how high she spikes.

For the past two weeks I have been having a constant dry mouth/throat. It goes away when I drink a couple glasses of water then comes back. I just started a 80% raw diet last week..can this have anything to do with it? I eat lots of raw fruits and veggies, legumes and nuts. I don’t eat any processed food and go through 2-3 gallons of water trying to get the dryness to go away but it doesn’t Sometimes it even makes my mouth more dry. Im not diabetic..I was just recently checked

Comparing the two types of sugars (I hear that the Granulated sugars are “bad” vs. more natural sugars.)

Is the “natural sugar” in green grapes O.K. to eat for myself trying to watch my blood glucose levels?

%My mother was a type-1 Diabetic all her life, until her passing 6 years ago.
I am now age 45 years, and I try (granted to the extremes) to avoid any possibility to begin hyperglycemia.

I have succeeded, thus far.

He is 27 yrs old, was very athletic and fit. Diabetes was diagonised in him six months ago,but he might have been diabetic for some years now.for some years he had been suffering from occasional acute stomachache. His sugar level always remains between 140-200 before or after fast, despite medicines. Doctor recently advised him insulin. We think dependence on insulin is risky and costly, so we are avoiding insuling and instead he is following tight yoga,exercise and diet schedule, to no avail. He is getting weaker day by day. Kindly provide your opinions. Does it mean he will not be able to live a normal life or his days are numbered?

We are doubtful if he has Type I or Type II. Doctors have never specified. He has undergone most of the tests recommended for such patients and eveything has been found normal.But we guess his case is of Type I. How can it be cleary determined? his Hb1Ac report was 197 mgdl. Isn’t is possible that his is only Type II?We r worried and confused.
Is is possible his is only Type II?If it is so/not so, does taking insuling once makes one dependent on it for lifetime? Or should he try to take is for some time then try to manage without it once he becomes normally fit?? It is possible?

Why don’t docs suggedst him to take vitamin-mineral supplements in the form of medicines to improve his health? He has always been taking normal food and exercises/yoga(as advised by docs now) for long as a routine. So,I wonder how the same can now control his sugar levels. He is getting weaker day by day, despite taking medicines to control sugar.

I was doing the eat right for your blood type diet and both items were suggested to be avoided but it seems hard to find items that are free of these ingredients without paying an arm and a leg any suggestions?
