i read that you have to stop taking glucopage before surgery or there's a chance you could die, is this true?

also, since being on glucophage (about a month) i have not gotten my period. there is no chance of pregnancy as i have not been active. does this med delay your period? i'm not on any birth control and i'm on this med for pre diabetes. its already 2 weeks late and i'm just wondering what the deal is.

I was diagnosed when I was about 13. They wanted me to just not eat a lot of sugery foods before noon. It controlled it fine, but now I'm 30 and I've been having serious problems. Not with passing out like I did at 13, but with feeling bad, losing my temper when I'm hungry and feeling tired. I don't have health insurance so I can't get checked out. I haven't had health insurance since 18years old and haven't been seen since I was 13. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I've had 3 kids and didn't experience any problems while I was pregnant. My youngest is almost 2 years old and the past month have started feeling bad.

I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for over 18 years. I have two questions here.
1) for the past 2 years i have been on more and more insulin, put on over 25 lbs, am always in a fog and constantly tired; and my blood sugars are on a constant roller coaster. Do you think i may be suffering from insulin resistance? I looked it up online, and all the symptoms explain exactly what i am going through. Any suggestions on how to help this? I changed my diet to more protein over 3 months ago once i figured what may be going on, and my blood sugars are still a mess and i am still on tons of insulin. Do i maybe need some medication to control this? I also exercise at least 5 times a week ::i walk/jog:: and i do not see any improvements.

and 2) Like i said earlier i pout on over 25 lbs in 2 years, and no matter how hard i exercise it will not budge. I job and do sit ups and my stomach is still flabby...any suggestions to lose this extra buldge?

Does this mean I have it under control?
Will I always have diabetes, keeping it down low like this?

I think i may be experincing symptoms of diabetes.

>yellow-dark yelow urine
>litte bit thirstier than i normally am
>i'm a bit overweight [i understand sugar/carbs rather than weight is the problem, but nevertheless]

I want to tell my parents, but I am afraid they will refuse to believe me due to the severity of the disease. Also, i am wondering: if i do not yet have a very severe case will i have to stay in a hospital for several days? [i've read some of the ADA Forums and many people say they were in the hospital for a week].

How should i tell my parents i think i have it, and how long will i be in the hospital?

I am a diabetic, and I use food and exercise to lower my blood sugar. I would like to lower it more through food with a moderate amount of exercise. Right now I have to exercise excessively. But, I have heard a certain diet could really help.

This is a true story. My boyfriend was intoxicated and took 55 units of Humalog instead of 55 units of Lantus. I walked into his house where he was sweating so hard he was drenched, gray colored and confused. I asked him to let me check his blood sugar and it was 39. I gave him a regular pepsi out of desperation and called the ER where I work and they told me to send him via ambulance to the hospital. The paramedic arrived and told him, he could start a IV if he wanted him to then told him he could probably have a snack and it would cover him. I went ballistic and insisted he be given an IV and 1 amp D-50 STAT and even offered to start the IV. The paramedic proceeded to tell me if I did not leave he would call the police. I once again insisted on an amp of D50 immediately or would call in another ambulance and informed them I had already spoken to the ER. He finally gave the D-50 and allowed him to sign a waiver. I waited 30 minutes and had to drive him to the ER. Accucheck 29.
