In fact, the entire battery of tests (thryoid, liver, kidney functions) were great. He gave me a test kit and 3 wks of blood tests average 110 (152 highest after eating ice cream/88 lowest). Yet, glucose urine test strips still occasionally show sugar in urine. I started out with some suspected diabetic symptoms (dry mouth/thirst/frequent urination) but they went away after one week. I'm schedule for a Glucose Tolerance Test this week. I am a 44/F 135lbs non-smoking, very healthy diet, etc.. Any ideas what's up?

I need a booklet to record my blood sugar readings. I was told I could go to walmart I couldn't find them. Is there a website that has them for free? I really need some so if anyone knows anywhere please let me know. I have to test my blood sugar 4 times a day.

My children seems to have blood sugar related problems (like hypoglycemia), but urine tests don't show diabetes. The pediatrician has only tested urine and I don't know what else to ask for or what specialist I could go to for a more detailed look at their symptoms. One child takes medication for seizures and the medication is also an insulin mimic. The other child also seems to have symptoms which seem to fit blood sugar issues but does not have seizures. There is a strong family history of diabetes. Is there a "metabolic" specialist I could look for? Thanks for any direction.

When my friend begins to even sweat he has trouble keeping his line in, he has tried all types of medical tape and ace bandages....surely he is not the only diabetic that has this problem. Does anyone have any advice on what to use?

i am diabatic though bit short on temper always never had it bad earlier till i got diagonised

does it have a bearing on the mood swings

I know excessive urination is a sign of diabetes, but what does "excessive" mean, exactly?

Does it mean every 15 minutes?
Or does it mean every 4 hours?

It seems as though no one, not even any diabetics on this site can explain that to me.

Being the biggest hypochondriac in the world, I find myself having the urge to pee every 2-3 hours... yet, when I do not think about peeing, I go about every 4-6 hours.

Do I have a problem? Can someone please give me a little information about this issue? This is the only diabetes symptoms that I have, and I know what all of them are.

Thanks, guys!

I am going to a camp next week, where sometimes you cannot (well you CAN, but it's inconvienant...) go to the bathroom whenever you want.

I am ALWAYS thinking "Do I pee too much?", and that makes me have to go even more.

If I don't think about peeing all the time, then I can go 5-6 hours without having to go. However, if I think about it, then I have to go pretty much every hour.

I can never help thinking about it, it's not like a button that you can just turn off. I'm always thinking "Oh no, what if I can't go for a while?", and I have to go!

And when I do go, I find out that I really didn't have to go very much in the first place. I guess when you empty your bladder when it is not full, you have to go much more often. There have been days that I have gone 10 times just from worrying!

So, what do I do to convince myself "You probably DON'T have to go!", or that I CAN go if I have to?

It's such a pain... is this normal? I don't have diabetes, I just posted it here!

Or at least... you most likely don't have diabetes?

I was just wondering... thanks, guys!

Thanks to all of you for your quick and educational response. I still wonder then why my blood sugar level is 120 in the morning (fasting for good 8 hours) and less 100 in the afternoon 4 hours after lunch.
