For a while now, I've been getting extreme stomach pains along with feeling numb in my hands and feet, feeling faint and actually fainting, being extremely tired, and drinking all the time. My mom was conserned about diabetes, because it runs in our family. She used a self-check glucose machine right after I woke up, and the blood sugar was 197. When I went to the doctor, he told me that was a normal reading, and the different symptoms are just a coincidense. He diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome, and sent me on my way. I researched IBS when I got home, and I have none of those symptoms. Are the symptoms and the 197 glucose level something to be conserned about? Or am I overreacting, and my doctors probably right?

By the way,
I am a 15 year old girl; 5'6ish and I weigh 135-140.

I normally take 25 units in the morning. This morning, I took it 2 hours off the usual time because I had a nosebleed (dry weather) and had to take care of the nosebleed first. I don't remember taking it when I first woke up, but I did have the needles, not the insulin out. My log doesn't show that I took any when I first work up.

So I don't remember taking it earlier, and if I did, I didn't make a log. Is there any way I can, with my glucometer, check to see if I took a double dose or not?

A couple of nights recently I've had around four glasses of orange juice over the course of a few hours. I've noticed that after about an hour I begin to get a headache and feel warm and start to perspire a little bit. I was wondering if this could be a normal reaction to the sugar content, or if it might be a sign of something like diabetes. It runs in my family. I'm in my mid-twenties, and most diabetics in my family were diagnosed later, but it is something that I've been considering. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Here is a real lame question. I’m new to the diabetic world and I was told I should take very good care of my feet. There are some areas that need a bit of looking at, on the heel for one. My question is; before I apply the flexitol, Can I wear my diabetic socks after I apply the cream or will that make the stuff rub off and not work?

Let me just say I’m a newly Diagnosed Diabetic “Hyperglycemic” Its been a real pain getting info with this but now I have meetings set up with Diabetes specialists, and nutritionists. It was olso recommended that I get rid of my physician “who is not a full doctor just a P.A.C.” and switch to an Endocrinologist. I was just put on insulin a few days ago. I wont even get into the whole story of the headaches I have been dealing with trying to find info for myself as well as help. Basically now that the “first stages” of bringing my blood sugar down are almost intact would it benefit me now to switch to a endocrinologist?

Sometimes when I get up after lying down on my couch or wherever, all of a sudden my vision fades out to black for a while until I sit down. I love chocolate and I unfortunately like to eat a lot of it, so I was wondering if what I have is just low blood sugar or diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family, so could anyone tell me what the usual signs of both diabetes and low blood sugar are?

My boyfriend recently was diagnosed with diabetes. He is thinking about getting a medical alert bracelet or neckchain. What are we supposed to have put on it? His name? Obviously his condition.... a doctor's name? (What if he changes doctors somewhere down the road, this necklace costs like $60...) Does he put a contact name and phone number? Or does it just say "diabetic?" Please let us know what's supposed to go on it, in an emergency, we're not sure how much information will be needed. Emts, doctors or nurses especially. Thanks a lot.
