So about 3 months ago, a brown spot shiwed up on my stomach, and ever since, more have showed up, on my inner/upper thighs, they are a sort of lightbrownish color, and they are of different sizes, however they are aĺl very round. From what I understand, it could be a symptom of diabetes or prostate cancer. They don't itch, so I've ruled out fungus. They feel like velvet when I touch them, and they are softer than my normal skin.

But when I went to then Doctor recently, then said my glucose reading was a 220. So does this mean I have pre-diabetes or even already diabetes? They are going to run some more tests at the doctor, so I am just wondering. I just can't figure out that if I haven't gotten really sick, then I find it hard to understand how I could have diabetes. And how can my body go from being just fine, to producing little insulin (if it even is diabetes). Maybe I'm in denial...

yes, babe, those could definitely be symptoms of diabetes. but they could also be lots of other things. whatever they are, you should take them seriously and get to your doctor right away. he or she can run some simple blood tests and tell you what's going on. don't put yourself through feeling so badly when there may be a really easy fix. good luck!!

Recently i have been experiencing extreme thirst, frequent urination and hand shakes. I know theses are some symptoms of diabetes however I have not experienced any weight loss. Is there another possible explanation for my symptoms? Are these enough symptoms to be concerned about possible diabetes?

Possibly. The tiredness, blurry vision, nightsweats, and infections COULD be symptoms of diabetes, but I don't know how your epilepsy could be influencing your symptoms. Only a doctor and a test can tell you for sure. You said you got the result for the first fasting test; do you know what the number was? Yes, ask for an A1C. Many doctors are not too educated on diabetes but that is pretty basic.

when do I get my second ultrasound and will I be able to get pictures of it? I am 9 weeks today and I had my first vaginal ultrasound at 6 weeks to confirm. I have thyroid problems and seeing the dr for that on the third, but my prenatal visit is for the 21st.b they also mentioned because of my weight I have top be careful for gestational diabetes..does that make any difference in ultrasound?

Can you tell me if you had most of the symptoms of diabetes when you were diagnosed? Or, did you not have noticeable symptoms, and found out through an exam? What made you suspect you had diabetes?

Is it normal to have itching,fatigue,irritablility,insomina,pain always at a 5,anxiety.I was diagnosed in July with hepc and diabetes and the symptoms get worse by day.Haven't seen Dr. yet till tuesday to talk treament.

Hello, I'm concern about my left side of my face I'm 49 and have notice my left side has come down and not the other is very noticeable on pictures & my 3 way mirror also when head is tilted I thought it's normal aging its been over 1year and I evwn feel my sun shades & reading glasses tilt down more then my other side. who do I see & is this a problem that will get worse.

For the last few months, I have been losing weight. I'm about 5'4" and I've always been thin, but I've gone from just over 110 pounds to 100-103, depending on the day. I feel like I look sickly and I can't seem to gain any of the weight back. I've also been urinating very frequently lately. I'm much more tired than I ever used to be. I work out normally, but lately I just don't have the energy. Also, I've been getting dizzy/lightheaded a lot.

I agree with what the two posters above said. In addition I found it strange that with a fasting blood sugar of 150 you were told you were "borderline diabetes" (the correct term is pre-diabetic). Anything over 126 fasting is considered diabetes. You definitely need more testing. Keep up the good work on the weight control. Some people can control diabetes for awhile with just diet and exercise and weight management, but it is a progressive disease and you may need more help.

Is there a way to upload pictures here? or is there a site where I can see what kind of damage GM does?

These could be signs of diabetes, but could be other things as well, including Depression. If you also have increased thirst and urination that would make diabetes more likely. However you most certainly can ask your doctor to do a blood glucose test and then you will know for sure and not have to worry.

t resist telling you I have posted some pictures. I think the best ones are on 35mm, but I found a few to post. Thank you for all the well wishes and kind words. Having him without pain meds was a decision I made just a week or so ago.

there is no need to worry and build up unwanted fear in you, its better you visit a doctor and take up a urine and blood test both fasting (first urine of the day and blood test in an empty stomach) and postprandial (which is usually taken after 2 hours after your breakfast). because with these symptoms its difficult to say that you might have diabetes. nothing to worry..so take care...

Is this from HIV infection or is my diabetes showing up with symptoms. The symptoms come and through out the day. Is this HIV.

I believe you are probably inquiring about your numbness because of neuropathy which is normally related to type 1 or 2 diabetes. Your symptoms are obviously a cause for concern and I would seek out doctors who can give you a proper diagnoses. I can't believe that you have been going through this for 15 years without an answer. I don't know if it is a circulation problem or something else.

Hello, my symptoms are as follows, Dry Mouth(especially early in the morning) but definitely producing significantly less saliva than usual, maybe 40 to 50 percent less for last 6 weeks. White Coating on tongue, not sure whether it is thrush or not for 5 weeks. Ranula cyst on floor of the mouth. And palpable tender submandibular on right side of jaw for last week.

Many have no symptoms to pre diabetes. Just like high BP many have no symptoms. In diabetes by the time you get symptoms you are well on the diabetes road. The ONLY way to tell is with a blood test.

It does run in my family my grandfather and alot of others although my parents do not have it. Should I Prusue a Diabetes test? Im I right in thinking that some of my symptoms seem like symptoms of Diabetes? Should I seek another doctors opinion or go back to that doctor. Or maybe he is right and I don't have Diabetes. Thank you again for your time!

thank you for your advice. i looked up pictures of erythrasma and it seems to be the issue. its not all as bad as some of the pictures i came accross, but it definately looks similar to what i have. scaling would be the best term to describe the symptoms, but its really not even THAT noticeable. i guess ill be going to the dermatologist =/ ...one thing though, i shower two to three times daily so poor higeine cant be the cause. what could be the reason i have this?

Hello there. I am very confused about some symptoms I'm having. I'm currently being tested for several different things, including diabetes. I have an abnormal heart beat, I am fatigued ALL day long, my hands shake when I move them up and down; plus they feel weaker then usual. I have leg pains which are similiar to growing pains (I can't still be growing though) , mostly during my menstrual cycle, or after I drink alcohol.
