Common Questions and Answers about Diabetes symptoms pre diabetes doctor
diabetes
The tests used to make this diagnosis are blood glucose test and a glucose tolerance test. Has your doctor done either of these? There are no real symptoms of pre diabetes. The symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, thirst, blurred vision, numbness/tingling in the distal extremities, fatigue, slowed healing of cuts, and frequent infections.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition frequently found with diabetes.
Once you progress for pre-diabetes, why is diabetes not reversible as pre-diabetes is? Does that mean once your diagnosed with diabetes your blood sugar can no longer return to normal and you can't "cure" diabetes? How long does it take to progress? I was a 6.3 the last time I checked which was 2 years ago and I am worried. Please help!
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.
She says the same that you are saying about having symptoms, especially hypoglycemia (now she knows that is what it was) pre diabetes. She believes she had symptoms years prior to her diagnosis. No one tested her for it, nor did she know much about diabetes and then she was finally diagnosed.
I do not remember my son having a lot of illnesses prior and as far as lows, he was only 3, so he would not have been able to describe them.
I was diagnosed with Pre Diabetes last NOV & put on Metformin twice a day. I am 37 years old 5'6 & weigh 170. I do have family history of late onset . Isn't diabetes @ 37 @ my weight unusual?
My family doctor, has told me I'm pre diabetic. I'm working hard to lose weight and eat healthy. Diabetes runs in my family, on both sides of my family. What else can I do to correct this? I am 42 years old. Because of this Issue, I now deal with my legs and my feet swelling. I would like to change this please help?
I've been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, and I'm going back to my primary doctor with questions about being insulin resistant. I constantly feel fatigued and light-headed, constant mood swings, and if I haven't eaten in a while (resulting in low blood sugar), or eat something with high sugar in it (resulting in high blood sugar), my symptoms worsen.
As a prediabetic, and possibly insulin resistant, should I be testing my glucose levels regularly? Should I go see an endocrinologist?
Is there a test I can take before going to a Doctor to comfirm if I do have some sort of diabetes and need medical help? Don't really have the time & money to spend on a visit to a Doctor at this time.

My 9 year old may be showing a few signs of juvenile diabetes, such as headaches, fatigue, behavioral changes/mood swings, persistant hunger; sometimes she's sweaty, then can quickly become very cold. Bouts of blurry vision and "itchy" sensations during her temperment changes. Daily feelings of nausea (always early morning pre-meal and just before bed), particularly over the last month. Sleep at night seems to be relatively undisturbed.
I have a cousin whose blood sugar levels often rise over 300s. This has been over a couple of years now. I am really concerned about him but unfortunately he doesn't seem to really care about himself and believes that the oral medications he's taking is enough. He shows no symptoms of diabetes at all.
My questions are:
1. How come very high glucose levels cause no symptoms at all? (no frequent urination, thirst, blurred vision, etc)
2.
I’ve been suffering with tiredness again, frequent urination, and my first ever bout of thrush. Could these symptoms be an indicator that my pre diabetes has progressed to Type 2 diabetes in less than 12 months ?
I’m booked in for a blood test next week, as I know that’s the only definite way to get an answer, but I am a worrier, and can’t help but panic that this has progressed.
Ramukor, I'm sorry but your doctor is very ignorant. "Not to worry unless the limit crosses 7.0???" 6.5 is considered fullblown diabetes which needs to be treated. I would see another doctor. As for prediabetes, it is a good opportunity to start to make some lifestyle changes in order to slow the progression to diabetes. The things like weight loss, reducing carb intake, exercise are very appropriate for a pre-diabetic.
Eating a low glycemic diet (foods that do not spike the blood sugar, in turn spiking insulin levels), getting adequate exercise and losing weight (if overweight) will often/usually turn pre-diabetes around.
Low glycemic foods are complex carbs that take longer for the stomach to digest; they include non starchy vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, low/now fat dairy, nuts, seeds, etc.
Work with your diabetes doctor and a high-risk obstetrician on fine-tuning your insulin doses. You should also be screened for eye, kidney and blood pressure problems now, as they can become much worse during pregnancy.
I also recommend the book "Balancing Pregnancy With Pre-Existing Diabetes." It contains a great deal of helpful insight.
Actually notice a general maillase when the blood levels are at 4,8 or 86 levels? Then upon eating something i feel ok loose that weak feeling in my legs. Also notice I get palpitations more so with a lower blood reading like 86 ...
