Is it possible I have diabetes?

[JakobJ]

"Go to the doctor" you will say, and I agree, but I just want to make sure that t's not in my head first :)

Yesterday I were at the doctor getting my values checked for work.

Everything was good besides my bloodsugar which were at 7.2. The doctor said "well, that' probably because you ate breakfast recently, Eye?" and I were like "Guess so"

At 8:30 I ate a sandwich which contains about 2grams of sugar and a cup of hot chocholate which I guess has a Little more,(small cup). At 10:30 I had a small coffe. The test were taken around 11:05.

The last couple of months I've also been having troule focusing with my Eyes. Also I've been extreemly tired, and can barely keep my Eyes open if I sit down for 20min after work.

I've also had trouble with brainpain, all from small enoying pressure to massive headache.

It wasn't until today I connected the symptoms, after my mother were surprised of my high bloodsugar.

I can't really tell if I drink a lot or not.

I don't really want to visit the doctor since I've been there a lot lately and they're probaby taking me for a hypochondriac x) Well thanks in advance anyways, kind of a meaningless question if you ask me :)

Not highly likely. The main symptoms of diabetes are drinking more fluids than normal, loosing more fluids than normal (urinating more) and feeling hungrier than usual. As well as blurred vision, hyper pigmentation and wounds that take longer than usual to heal

Your glucose being 7.2 is normal especially after a meal. The general rule for blood glucose is 7/11 ( like the min market shop lol). If your blood /glucose is above 7 after an 8+ hour fast then there is a problem and if your blood/glucose is above 11 (random glucose) after eating then there is a problem. The fasting glucose is more important than the random glucose. You could also check your glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C test)

The eye pain and headache are very important to checkout though. Make sure that your lifestyle ( DIet and exercise) is healthy and balanced and make sure that you get your 8 glasses of water a day

everything you eat will raise you glucose levels to varying amounts. Even Items with no sugar added.

Being tired and the focusing are symptoms of diabetes. However they are symptoms of a lot of illnesses.

The brain pain. GET TO A DOCTOR NOW! This is nothing to f**k around with. It could be nothing or relatively minor. Or it could be something very serious. Like an aneurysm. Or maybe fluid causing pressure or a number of other things. A lot of these can cause blurred vision too. But there are a number of issues with a brain that can kill you with little to no warning.

Sorry if this scares you. But get it checked out ASAP. Go to the emergency at a hospital if you have to.

PLEASE.

Never you mind about how Many times you have had to see this quack, sweetie, you are definitely Not being a "hypo"anything. Yes, these are symptoms of diabetes, and you can even go blind with this disease. It's nothing to fool around with.

If Doctor Doolittle here says your numbers were indicating "something" at a level that he would rather Assume was "over breakfast," and not have You come back for a followup for this, then You either make another appointment to go back to him and tell him about your recent symptoms, or if he gives you the run around, which some of these ducks do today, Find another doctor who is willing to not only hear you but will test you for this as well. You certainly have Everything to be sour about And concerned about.

Good luck, and make that call tomorrow.xx

I always get the feeling that I have diabetes as well, but I think it's just my inner hypochondriac haha. I think the symptoms depend on which type of diabetes. I have a friend who's diabetic type one but it mainly occurs in children while diabetes type 2 happens mainly of old age. Other symptoms include obesity, sudden drop in weight, increased urination, abdominal pain, or fainting feeling.

Instead of going to doctors again, maybe go get a blood test because that gives more info. My mother has this other way which helps by drinking the soup of boiled corn roots...and definitely do more exercise, that always helps. :)

Everything is possible, really. You should get consulted, I guess. And if there is something that could cause such a disease, treat it as soon as it is possible. Look for some info on the subject on
website. They will provide all the necessary information for you. Good luck, I hope everything is OK ;)

check the symptoms of diabetes online. Tick mentally if you haven't printed out the sheet which ones you have felt and then if you have more than one tick in each section then yes you probably have diabetes. But check with your doc too

Do you urinate more frequently than what's normal?
