I have my glucose test today…and am supposed to eat a normal meal 1 hour before (that would be at 12:45), and then drink the drink 1 hour before(at 1:45).
Can i drink hot chocolate now at 12? I am craving it?
Will it effect my results?
I have had only water today, and raisin bran crunch. then for lunch i am eating flavored noodles.
Wouldn’t they tell me to limit my sugar, or fast longer if anything was going to effect the test?

My grandma and i were worried i had diabetes because i show a lot of the symptoms of some one who does. I am constantly thirsty to the point were all i think about is drinking and as soon as i can i sit n front of the sink refilling my glass. I also *** to the extreme. But in a way i so Guess makes sense since i drink so much. Another thing is a am very tired and so fatigued. I have no will or power to even sit up from the couch. But one of the things that stand out the most is my constant head aches. I have had them for about 2 months now and they seem like the just wont go away. I went to my family doctor about this adn she claimed it wa s a tension head ache and i have tried all the things that claim will Make it better. But now i practically live on different pain killers that there’s not really a point i don’t have them in my system. Ive been to the Chiropractor but still it seems not to help. My body is screwed up and the only thing that i could think of is diabetes. If the tests say i dont have it then what do you think the problem is???
I have had blood and urine samples taken and they said i dont, thats wahy im wondering what else i could have?

I had blood work and have elevated triglyceride levels, but my bad cholestorol level is only 208, this was a non-fasting blood test, with taking Lipitol and the drugs i mentioned above, adding Tricor seems a bit extreme to me.

Also, what symptoms are most common at 3 years old? My son’s paternal genetics put him in line to inherit diabetes, but my side has no record of it anywhere.
His dumb father insist on giving him soda pop everyday INSTEAD of milk, water or 100% juice. I have him every other week, and notice a huge difference when he eats even a tiny bit of sugar, like in pancake syrup, or in a small piece of cake. For about 20 to 30 minutes afterwards, he’s bouncing off the walls, and then he’s ready for a nap.
I know little kids tire quickly, and require naps on their schedule, but do you think I should start asking his doctor about testing?
I don’t want to put him through this if there is no need to. I **** to think of how painful this could be, and all you parents know that watching your child go through any sort of pain, is absolutely agonizing, horrible, I wish they could take my blood to test him.

Type 1 diabetes runs in my family (2 uncles). I’ve been sick for about a month: extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea, dizziness, irritability. I also feel feverish frequently. At first i thought I was pregnant, but tested negative. I had a very short (2days) period as well. Today I noticed that my urine smells very strong; I almost can’t stand to smell in myself! Do you think I’m diabetic, or is there another ailment with similar symptoms?

GA Peaches asked:


We don’t have the funds for him to go to the doctor every six months for his diabetic testing and we don’t have the funds to buy his insulin! It’s very expensive! I’m scared and don’t know where to get help! It appears that we don’t qualify for anything. I’m on unemployment due to being laid off, my husbands had a huge pay cut, we have two in college. Where can we get help with my husbands diabetes medical care? does anyone know?

Another diabetes question!
First of all let me just say that Mickey is under vet supervision and has been since she was diagnosed (well, she’s always had a vet obviously) so you don’t need to tell me to take her to the vet!
My question is this, Mickey is a 4.5kg (down from 8kg) Maine Coon female that I rescued who is 12 years old and is just completely lovely but she has diabetes. She’s been on Caninsulin (Vetinsulin in the USA) for approx 5 weeks. She started on 3 units twice a day then because her BG (blood glucose) wasn’t low enough at the nadir, she went up to 4 units and then for the same reason has been upped to 5 units but it would appear from her water consumption that her BG still isn’t under control. She’s back at the vets on Friday for another test (she’s been going weekly) so I’ll know for sure but has anyone else had such a hard time stabilising a diabetic cat on caninsulin? I’m storing the insulin correctly (fridge), doing the injections properly at the correct times, feeding her as per guidelines etc.
The other question I have is about Royal Canin for diabetics – this food is recommended for diabetic cats and it’s extremely low in carbs and high in protein but she likes plain tuna with it. The vet says this is OK (Science Diet MD made her stomach go bad) and I can’t imagine that it would affect the blood glucose levels but I can’t be sure.

I will say that Mickey is very bright and alert, is cleaning herself and has never ever in her whole life peed outside the litter box. We’ve also ruled out concurrent hyperthyroidism and her kidneys are in good shape.
So as I said, she’s back at the vets on Friday but I was just wanting to know if anyone else had this much trouble stabilising a diabetic cat. And I know cats are hard to stabilise on insulin.
Thanks!
Thanks for that. I’m aware of and frequent both sites. I don’t regard this as a ‘difficult’ time, it’s just something that needs to be done.
I am very educated on feline diabetes and as I said, am seeing a vet weekly but I want to hear from the owners of other diabetic cats re: their experiences stabilising their cats on insulin, especially Caninsulin (vetinsulin). But thanks!

I have hypoglycemia and can’t fast for 3 hours since I have really bad hypo. Is there another way to test without having to fast? I heard I should get tested as hypo could turn into diabetes and I have been thirsty alot.
