My daughter who is now 7 years old has had rapid diahoria since 11 weeks old has been under several hospitals and a miss diagnosis with coeliac disease which she was fitted with a nvg tube. My daughter is now under a well know hospital who diagnosed her with chrones/colitus disease,but have now been informed that they are unsure whether it is this or not and are suggesting it is now autoimmune process.
In Jan 2000 I was diagnosed with type two diabetes. My A1C was 9.1 and fasting glucose was 375. I was sedantary, very over weight and had very poor dietary habits. My diabetes doctor told me that there were three factors that I needed to consider in controlling my glucose levels.
1. Intake--food and fluids
2. Exercise
3. Medicines--oral or injected as the situation warrants
I have been on oral medications for over 8 years.
Because if your glucose is too on the screening test you will need to take the full glucose tolerance test (diagnostic test). Which is a pain.
I failed my 1 hour test (1 point too high) so had to do the full three hour test. For this you do have to fast for at least 8-10 hours before the test. You have to drink twice as much sugar water (100 gm). And you have to wait there while they take multiple blood samples in that ttime.
So I have my glucose test in the morning. I'm sure I was told I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything from now until the test in the morning, does anyone know if this includes water?
