Diagnosis and Symptoms

  1. Diagnosed with hypoglycemia in 1991, I am very overweight. For weeks, I have been feeling very weak and shaky. Is my hypoglycemia turning into diabetes? (1 Aug 2008)
  2. My 10-year-old gained 73 pounds in two years. Her insulin level was high, but her blood sugar normal. Other than meeting with a nutritionist, what should I do to help her? (29 Jul 2008)
  3. My son's new doctor thinks my son may have type 2 because he's never been in DKA. Is this a correct assumption? What will the results of impending blood work tell? (29 Jul 2008)
  4. I suspect my daughter has hypoglycemia, like me. Her fasting test results were fine, according to the doctor's office. What should I do? (20 Jul 2008)
  5. My son was diagnosed with diabetes, but not put on insulin. The doctors say he might have MODY. Could this be possible or is he just in his honeymoon? (20 Jul 2008)
  6. My daughter has celiac. Drinking a lot and wetting her bed, her fasting blood sugar was 106 mg/dl [5.9 mmol/L], pre-diabetes. Is there anything I should do at this point? (19 Jul 2008)

  8. My four-year-old had a random blood sugar of 260 mg/dl [14.4 mmol/L]. I know to look for a fasting blood sugar over 125 mg/dl [6.9 mmol/L]. Would it help to check for urine ketones? (17 Jul 2008)
  9. I have many symptoms, including thirst, dry skin, and extreme hunger. Although I smoke, I do not drink or take drugs, other than my heart medication. What might this be? (17 Jul 2008)

  12. Twice, my non-diabetic teen has been in the 60s mg/dl [3.3 to 3.8 mmol/L] two to three hours after a meal. Is this a precursor for diabetes? (12 Jul 2008)

  14. My son was in range during his glucose tolerance test last year. Since then, he has been from 50 mg/dl [2.8 mmol/L] to over 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L]. Should he be retested? (29 Jun 2008)
