7720624 tn?1402712283 Can you describe the symptoms you feel from gestational diabetes? The best way you can? I have my 3 hour test tomorrow. Since about 24weeks ive not felt 100% and the doc i had did not test me for GD even though im high risk and both my father and grandfather are diabetic. She just kept saying next time but woukd see me every 2 weeks and just push me out and listen to heart beat with doopler. I got rid of her and got a new doc at 28weeks and did my 1hr GD test at now 31 weeks and failed.
Avatar n tn My 5 year old daughter has been waking up at night to urinate and to drink at least twice every night. She is itchy all over and always thirsty and peing all the time. The past month or so she has been sick with upset stomach and headaches. Three weeks ago she had what the doc call a bad bug. She had diarreah and vomitting. We went back and forth to the doc because they were treating me like I was just an overconcerned parent.
Avatar f tn I'm concerned about the possibility of Hypothyroid symptoms. I'm American, 32, white, female, and I've gained alot of weight recently. (I was 130lbs in March, and last week I weighed in at 146lbs) I'm only 5'0 tall, so I'm officially overweight now. I've always had low blood pressure, but recently, other symptoms have been cropping up. I have night sweats every night- my clothes are always drenched in the morning. That's never happened before this spring.
Avatar n tn 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...
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 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 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 f tn Thank you for your help. I just took a diabetes symptom quiz and I do seem to have a lot of the symptoms. The thing is that my blood sugar has always been in the normal range. I took a type 2 diabetes risk quiz and got a score of 0 (very low risk), so I'm guessing I'm more likely to have type 1? But type 1 usually starts before age 20 doesn't it? Unfortunately, getting labs done could take a while...
Avatar f tn have you check your insulin after using metformin im sure your levels are much lower right now , i assume your doctor dont see any risks in your case thats probably why acts lightheartedly , ( good BMI +metformin + good diet = low risk unless you have close relatvie with diabetes ) i think best thing is check it again just to put your mind at ease , i wil ask mine aswell since my doctors wasnt good to comunicate either and they only made me more confused each visit , first one who diagn
Avatar n tn I was told by my doctor 2 years ago that i was at risk for developing diabetes, 2 of my aunts (blood related) have diabetes. Would i have an increased risk? Can these feelings be related to any other health problems?
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 Recentley ive heard she had hiv for Three years and i have been the only one she has been with in the past 3 Years.The past year the symptoms have been occurring that i never really took notice of. I seem to get sick, flu-like symptoms 3 months out of the 12 every year on and off, i have been blood tested for thyroid problems and diabetes because i had rapid weight gain i was 200lbs and gained 50 pounds in 4 months.
Avatar f tn m aware of the risk for developing diabetes after having it during pregnancy, and in the past weeks have noticed some of the symptoms that i had such as dry mouth, excessive thirst, more frequent urination, headache, extreme fatigue and also i'm not sure if it's related but sharp pains in my lower abdominal area that are a regular occurrence.
Avatar f tn Do i have a risk to get diabetes if my my mother had type 2 diabetes? Also i love sugar.
Avatar n tn I dont want to go ask for a test if my symptoms dont seem to coincide with diabetes. With gestational diabetes it was hard to tell the symptoms vs. the pregnancy symptoms. I was insulan dependant both pregnancies by injection every night for my fastin numbers.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn If the diabetics in your company do not know how to properly treat their diabetes with diet, weight control, exercise and regular testing they are putting themselves at risk. Obesity makes diabetes harder to control and a type 2 diabetic who is overweight should be working with their doctor and nutritionist to develop a strategy for healthy weight loss. Do you know whether your diabetics are all Type 2 or if some of them are Type 1? It makes a difference in treatment.
Avatar n tn 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.
1806721 tn?1554333407 My A1C came back 5.4, which is in the normal range. However, I also read somewhere that if you have a combination of high risk factors for diabetes, you can be diabetic with A1C at 5.4. What are the "high risk" factors? Are high triglycerides, high LDL, low HDL, family history considered combo high risk? Is it true that a truly normal A1C reading should be under 5? How can I bring it down?
10299247 tn?1409208876 I had my first appointment today with a regular ob and she sent me to another ob who is a high risk doctor. Im so scared the babies heart beat is only 130 bpm but it is moving like crazy she said it was a good sign and to have hope I am about 14 weeks along already. I also have diabetes type one (was diagnosed today) I have three specialist plus my ob. I am already scheduled for four different ultrasounds in the next month..
