Diabetic Testing Blog

cookaburra asked:


I have been diagnosed as a diabetic just a month ago. My fasting blood sugar when I took the test nearely 15 days before was 133mg/dl. I do smoke four to five cigarettes a day.

I do gulp 20 fenugreek seeds with water three to four times a day. I do not take any medicines but do workout on the treadmill and do some yoga like deep breathing and forceful exhalation.

Is this fine?? I do feel fit most of the time of the day.

Our dog seems to have occasional head shakes, where his head for no reason at all will just start shaking. After he has these “shakes” he is instantly tired and goes to sleep. To stop these “shakes” we give him honey and it instantly stops. Does this mean that he is diabetic? He is six years old, an english springer spaniel and is usually a very active dog. These “shakes” are very far apart from each other. He may have three in a week and then not have any for months. We have taken him to our vets and asked for a blood test but they said that they would need to look for something specifically. Please can you help, we are very worried.

If she doesn’t control her diet? My mother was diagnosed type II 4 years ago and for the first year she dieted and exercised, tested her blood sugar and took her pills. Now for the past 3 years she only takes her pills, she splurges on sugary high carb foods and fats, even more the past year. I had insulin resistance while I was pregnant last year and learned the diet, but she refuses to listen to me, I’ve about given up even after I’ve tried to recruit the rest of my family to help. I can’t find anywhere on the web, any studies that give NUMBERS to how many years an average diabetic will live after being diagnosed. Her blood sugars average 200-250 range.

I don’t care to hear how your grandma lived to be 100 because she took care of hers, that information doesn’t help me.

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).
