Diabetic Testing Blog

Ginny asked:


I took the first 1 hour test today, and became very dizzy and hot about a half hour after I drank the glucose and had to lay down right away as I felt like I was going to pass out. Is this normal or is it any indication that I could have the condition?

I know this sounds a lot, and I’m really scared.
My Uncle has done a blood test and found out that there was high levels of urea, moderate uric acid, and high blood glucose. In addition to that, he generally suffers from high blood pressure. I’ve read a lot about the recommended diets, but they are all conflicting and I’m confused. What should be avoided/ should be eaten, particularly with respect to urea, which is very worrying.

I went in this morning for my 1hr glucose test and since I’ve gotten home I feel completely wrecked. They told me to have some cereal when I got home to try and prevent too bad of a crash from the test and I did that but then a little over an hour later I crashed big time. I took a 2 hour nap and when I got back up I feel weak and shaky. Even just walking to the kitchen to get water I feel like my legs are about to collapse underneath me. Is this normal? Has anyone else had this kind of reaction after their test? Did you have gestational diabetes?

I have had the 3 hr test done before a few years ago for something else and can’t remember if I felt this way afterwards but I’m worried this time!
I just got a call from my nurse saying that my results came back normal. I should have asked her about the shaking – Yeah, that’s baby brain at its best for you!
Still would be interested in finding out if anyone else had this happen and what, if anything they found out happened?

Ned asked:


This is a weird question, but I had a blood glucose fasting test done, and the reading was a little high (110). However, I don’t eat a lot of sweets, never drink soft drinks, am a normally weight, don’t exercise a ton (but a little bit). Is it possible I could still have diabetes but it’s just naturally under control? My doctor is doing a Hemoglobin a1c test.

I have what I perceive are a few minor symptoms (shaky when hungry, lack of energy compared to most people, sweet smelling urine on occasion).

Miss Coffee asked:


My daughter is seeing a Pediatric Endocrinologist to be tested for this, I have researched it myself and was just wondering if anyone had personal experience with this type of diabetes.
Yes it does make you use the bathroom a lot. Just wanted to hear from someone what has it and what has worked or not worked for them etc.
