514704 tn?1228312637 is this symptoms of diabetes? diabetes runs in my moms family... all of her brothers and most of their kids have it. i need advice..
Avatar n tn m not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. A normal, healthy blood sugar range is between 80 and 120, so a 96 is likely just fine. You could verify that with a check prior to eating breakfast in the morning, as well as a check 2 hours after a regular meal. Now just because the top end of the range is 120, sometimes healthy people's blood sugars fall outside that range, but it will always go back to normal ranges.

Avatar n tn s been going on for a little over a week, and I have researched what the symptoms could mean, and since those are the only symptoms, along with headaches, I am very confused. no other symptoms of diabetes apply to me, but i know it isn't dehydration because of the constant urination and I haven't been vomiting or anything. please, if you have credible advice, let me know. I'm a young women and am scared I have diabetes.
Avatar n tn My son, now 9-1/2 was dagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 3. My sister was diagnosed 8 yrs. ago at the age of 24. She was diagnosed before my son, so we had some info. on symptoms and knew something was wrong right away. When someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, there blood sugar would be higher than the normal range.

Avatar f tn * Over the past couple of weeks I have had loose stools on and off, especially in the morning after eating. Bowel movements that are more frequent than normal. * Muscle spasms on and off. Last night my eyelid kept twitching for hours. This morning I woke up with my entire body spasming and twitching. * Dehydration - I drink close to a gallon of water a day and wake up moderately dehydrated most days. I also drink water at night and wake up really thirsty.
Avatar n tn Your daughter has a lot of symptoms of Type 1 diabetes, and family history is not necessarily an indicator. There is NO history of diabetes -- either Type 1 or Type 2 -- in my family and my son developed Type 1 three years ago at the age of 6. Find a medical professional who is more knowledgeable, and do it today!
Avatar n tn 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!!
Avatar n tn You may not know that a dry mouth which can feel like thirst is one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia as well as diabetes. And logic tells us that if your mouth is dry and you are drinking lots of fluids, you will urinate often. I am a tightly-controlled type 1 diabetic, and the dry mouth feeling that I get when my glucose is low is almost identical to the sensation of having high blood sugar.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I can speak only from experience of the symptoms of diabetes but if you are worried it is easy to have a simple blood test to confirm your symptoms. For me excessive thirst and urination were the most apparent feelings. But I do also experience nausea and fatigue if my blood sugars are running very high.
Avatar n tn t comment on a BG of 220, but there are many factors that can affect a given reading -- including other meds, timing of a recent meal, etc. Often the tests for diabetes are done using a fasting BG or a glucose tolerance test.

Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn Hi there.. I'm sure if you have MS and kids... you would worry about all the symptoms that they say they feel... how old are your kids? I would keep it in my mind and when or if it continues.. it matters how old they are too.. but keep it in mind and let the family dr know..
Avatar f tn ok dose this sound like diabetes or do i just have like every std in the book and them some other problems? ok so these are the symtoms of diabetes ive had more than a few times but not all on a regular basis.
Avatar n tn Her major growth spurt did not occur until the age of 14 and she is still growing! I truly believe that her having diabetes has been a part of this. I am not familiar with the medication that you spoke of, but perhaps you should go back to the physician who originally perscribed it if you wish to have your daughter take it. At 13, the damage that having an accident can do to her self image, may be worth the risks. This is a tough decision you need to make and I wish you well with it.
Avatar f tn My son is 4yrs old and has a fasting reading of 124 and a reading of 194 about two hours after a meal. Is that normal?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn passing urine more often than usual, especially at night increased thirst extreme tiredness unexplained weight loss genital itching or regular episodes of thrush slow healing of cuts and wounds blurred vision To know or to check the diabetes, you can purchase accu chek sugar monitor from an online store, like http://healthgenie.in.
Avatar f tn t enjoy most of the things that other kids my age enjoy. Turns out that having diabetes type 2 is ALOT harder of getting rid of (if possible) than i thought.
Avatar f tn I do know some are genetic or so they say, diabetes . thyroid,possible also some of the others , I think you will really have to do some research on each individual issue.This is a question for your Doctor I am sure he will advise you.Good luck .
