Diabetes

I went to e.r. for what I thought was bad back pain, tests were run and sugar was 600. I had no idea I was diabetic. Other tests were run and my hemoglobin test was 15. My Dr. said he has never seen this in his career, which of course meant nothing to me. It still doesn't. I spent one day in i.c.u. and four days in step down for this.My back pain was a bad gall bladder..This all happened April 12th.I am doing pretty well controlling things by diet and start classes in the next two weeks. My liver enzymes were high also, so they took a liver biopsy when they did gall bladder surgery. I don't have those #s.

I've heard diabetics can get this, but I don't know what it is. I have type 2 diabetes, and I don't want my health to go down too much. Do you get this neuropathy even if your sugar stays in good control?

I am seeing an infertility specialist because i haven't been able to conceive anyways i went in may 18th because i have had continuous spotting since the second week of April, He did a transvaginal ultrasound which showed i have lots of follicles and my uterine lining is very thick((he diagnosed me with PCOS))..My last period was April 3rd to the 7th, right after stopping my period that's when the spotting started and still has not stopped..
Anyways he ordered a bunch of blood tests for me ((15 tubes filled of blood for testing)) and my doctor called me yesterday with some of the results it showed that i have a high level of testosterone((normal 40-60)mine was 151 and my estrogen levels were also high. I'm still waiting for insulin and glucose results..Other than that thyroid, prolactin,FSH,LH, CBC was normal...
Doctor wants to put me on Metformin but not until i get an HSG and a hysteroscopy, how many woman wih PCOS have taken this and did it help with conceiving?sucess rate??Please

i've been diabetic for 15 years, during that time it was largely uncontrolled due to misdiagnosis (they thought i was type 2, but i'm actually insulin dependent). im only in my mid 20's and i;'ve already had retinopathy with laser surgery, i have cataracts growing, and recently i had some spot bleeds in my eyes again. i'm also beginning early peripheral neuropathy. a lot of this has happened since my sugars have come under control! can anyone explain this? any advice is welcome.

i eat a lot of ice cubes and people have told me that i have pagophagia, which is the compulsive consumption of ice. i was also told that it could be caused by iron deficiency or diabetes. im would like to know if ice cravings are ALWAYS linked to a health problem. is it possible for healthy people to crave ice for no reason or is there usually something wrong?

usually Lantus should control the sugar level for 24 hours,and i also take insulin shots whenever i eat sweets or carbs depending on the quantity, but the problem is that Lantus is not controling my sugar level during my sleep, so i sometimes have to wake up and take shots at night, i was wondering if there is something more effective for the night time control.

Doctor told me I had to get on Atkins for 6 wks to take off weight and get blood sugars down. It is week 3 and I only had one apple and one buscuit one time all other times basically this: I eat an egg and saussage for breakfast, cheese and lunch meat for lunch and dinner two veggies and more meat. I have snacked on dry roasted nuts and gained two lbs in one week. Lots of water and walk three times a wekk for 3 miles. What is happening? I do notice I have stopped craving sugar but blood sugar is too high still.

I was over 400 about month ago and I've been trying to lower it naturally. I cant afford medical help so I've been doing it all on my own. My sugars are down and I was wondering if this number was okay. Its a waking glucose number.
