Avatar n tn I am no expert on diabetes, just the child of a type 2 diabetic and niece of three diabetics, but I think the urine test you are referring to is for something called ketones. I think this test tells you if you have uncontrolled diabetes.
Avatar f tn I have diabetes type 2.
Avatar m tn This can occur in people who have type 1 diabetes or very advanced type 2. The second trigger is a low glucose level. This can occur in people who have not eaten for a while (this is often the cause), or people who have been drinking alcohol. Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but most commonly is diagnosed from infancy to the late 30s. In this type of diabetes, a person's pancreas produces little or no insulin.
Avatar f tn What are the symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes? I have a child who is extremely tired and thirsty all the time. Should I have him checked for diabetes?
1456043 tn?1285362531 what do you do when your blood glucose monitor says HI ?
Avatar n tn can you detect if u have diabetes by a regular check-up with the urine test?
Avatar f tn I have sugar in my urine most check ups, I've had two 3 hour diabetes tests because my dad and aunties are type 1 diabetics but I passed both :) hope it's the same for you
Avatar f tn In pregnant women who are eating adequate amounts of food, ketones in the urine usually point to Type 1 diabetes. In Type 1, there isn't enough insulin produced (or it's produced very sporadically) to break down carbohydrates into sugars, so the person loses weight and the body begins metabolizing fat and muscle. Or if you're not eating well, it sounds like you need to bump up your calorie intake. Are you scheduled to meet with a dietician?
Avatar n tn My coworkers said I need to get him in because these could be signs of diabetes. My father, 5 uncles, 3 aunts, and 2 cousins have type 2, but I've only heard of 2 people in the family having type 1 - my great uncle and my father's cousin. Should I be asking the doctor about diabetes, or is it pretty unlikely that he'd have it without the frequent thirst and urination? I don't want to inquire if my coworkers are way off base.
978175 tn?1304439383 Yes, you must see your Endo as soon as possible. Hashimoto's Disease often is associated with type 1 diabetes. A sweet smelling urine, along with frequent peeing, indicates excess glucose [blood sugar] is being expelled by your kidneys. Your kidneys act as a filter. If damaged excess glucose sneaks past the leaky filter into your urine. You want to prevent further damage so a doctor is in order. Diabetes tests are in order as well as reviewing your Levothyroxine dosage.
Avatar n tn know what that means) 2nd hour was 199 with sugar in her urine, 3rd hour was 196 with sugar in her urine; on the 4th hour her blood sugar dropped to 40 and no sugar in the urine. Her fasting plasma glucose was 138 and the A1C was in between 4.5-5.5. She eats CONSTANTLY (hungry every hour--literally), drinks constantly, goes to the bathroom often, she is 62lbs (dropped from 70lbs this month) and about 4'10' (yes that's tall!
Avatar n tn My 6 year old daughter had an "episode" about a month ago with sudden nausea, shakiness, sweating, pale color. It passed in about 10 min. Since then, she is just "not right". She still has these "episodes" every couple of days, and often (3-5x/day) has "an icky feeling", sometimes intense hunger then feels nauseous when food is presented, decreased appetite, overall pale color with dark circles under her eyes, and sig. decreased energy/fatigue.
Avatar n tn My fiance has type 1 diabetes. He takes pretty good care of himself. He is almost fanatical about checking his blood sugar. On his one touch ultra some times it says something about keytones. So my question is.. What are Keytones and how are you supposed to test for them.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 9 years old and has had juvenile diabetes for a year now. Her urine test came back that there are microprotiens in her urine. I am a little nervous about this. Any help would be great!
Avatar f tn For the past month I have been experiencing freqrent urination (about 10 or more times a day), feeling thirsty and dry mouth, feeling hungry but after eating feeling I'm not satisfied, and headaches.. I think I'm pretty young to have type 2 (I'm 22 yrs old) my doctor tested my urine and confirmed that I'm not pregnant or have a UTI...I haven't lost any weight or gained.. I've been pretty much the same weight for a year, plus/minus 1 or 2 pounds.
Avatar f tn Thanks Darci3 and Zim90 but r they checking for glucose too meaning diabetes?
Avatar n tn I was to the doctor a few days ago...I have diabetes (type 2) just recently diagnosed. I don't have high blood sugars or anything, I mean they are higher than normal peoples...they don't normally go over 180. I was told by my doctor that I have a high amount of protein in my urine (the number she told me was 123 ?) She said she doesn't think that my blood sugars are causing it, so does anyone know what my problem could possibly be? I am 29 and in otherwise good shape.
Avatar n tn In fact it is for the wellness of your baby and you to know and to act accordingly. If you have diabetes (gestational or type I or type II) you have to do everything you can to keep your sugars in a normal range. High blood sugars (hyperglycemia) can cause abnormal growth and development of baby and of course you want a healthy baby too.
4879855 tn?1360440197 Untreated diabetes gives you sugary urine (the old school test was for the doctor to taste-test it). You also drink and pee LOTS (polydipsia and polyuria). It also causes weight loss eventually if you don't have enough insulin to get your food to your cells. I agree with jemma that you should get checked for a UTI. A burning sensation while peeing can also indicate a UTI. Since you don't mention a fever, it's *probably* not as high up as the kidneys.
Avatar n tn I have called the medicaid office and they told me that I was not able to get medicaid unless I was over the age of 65 or was disabled. So how do I qualify? Another question is can Type 2 diabetes turn into Type 1 if it is not controlled? I have not been able to afford my medicine for so long and my blood sugars are so high I am afraid I will have to be put on insulin.
Avatar n tn My question is, can she be diagnosed from just a urine test? Or should I request that she do the long diabetes check in a lab? Can diabetes come on slowly or really quick? This is a child that HATES the doctor's office. Diabetes had such an impact in my own life just watching a mother struggle with it, I am wondering if I am over-reacting. I understand you all are not doctors, I just would like some opinions on what I should do when I take her to the Dr.
