So, early this morning I began having a really vivid dream about the end of the world. In my dream, I began feeling like I could do whatever I wanted and act as foolishly as I wanted because the end of the world meant I couldn't be held accountable for my actions. Then I woke up, went into the kitchen and felt EXTREMELY famished. I was speaking incoherently to my wife and kids and saying really bizarre things. I felt like I had no control over myself. I began to stuff myself with food and my wife began to panic a little about the way I was acting.

After a few minutes, I was able to regain a little composure and tested my blood sugar. After I had already eaten, my blood sugar was 72 mg/dL...

It was like I was having a bad dream because of a low blood sugar reaction....

Have other diabetics experienced this?

I've noticed when traveling with her that it's hard to keep meals on a regular schedule and she always says, "I'm fine, let's go" and I know she needs to eat. I've even see her turn pale and go into the "falling sugar bizzare behavior" gig. Any prepared snacks or advice would be appreciated.

Ok I have a dental abcess, its severly infected, went to the dentist they gave me a antibotic shot and some antibotic pills, been taking them like I am suppose to but I am not feeling to well. I am a insulin dependent diabtiec and kinda worried that maybe the infection has spread. My jaw is still swollen and I am sick to my stomach, body aches kinda feels like the flu. Should I be worried or is this normal? My sugars have been running a little higher then normal 170-220 range since this happened. Just worried that maybe I should call the denist again. Any thoughts?

the symptoms i am experiencing are:
constantly thirsty that i can't seem to get rid of
i get really tired mid afternoon and early in the evening even when i haven't done much
i am eating much more than i normally would but not gaining any weight from it
i pee a lot more than usual, especially in the evening and at night n I haven't had one full night sleep without having to get up and go the toilet in weeks
i had two colds in a row which is weird for me considering i take vitamin supplements
Sometimes i get weird feelings in my hands and feet and sometimes in my arms and legs

I'm not overweight and as far as I know it doesn't run in my family
I have been the doctor and asked for a diabetes test but she just looked at me and said I don't think you're diabetic but how could she assume that by just looking at me?
i am having a blood test in 2 weeks but is it likely that my symptoms are caused by diabetes?

Im going to make this as brief as possible...I have lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks, the doctor says i am severly dehydrated, though i drink more than i normally do (80-100oz a day), i had a level of 80 for ketones in my urine, but she says don't worry about it. I am not dieting, i am not starving, and no one has ever tested me for diabetes so i dont know if i have that. She said she is going to run a culture on my urine, and call her back in 72 hours and see what happens from there. Im concerned...should i see another doctor? Is this something that can cause problems quickly? or will waiting however long to see her again be ok? I also have a heart condition (cardiomyopathy). What should i do?

What is it that happened to people exactly? I know that kids with type 1 usually died very young and that those who got it later in their lives were put on an extremely strict diet and more or less starved to death, which prolonged their lives by up to a few months.

Is the latter valid for type 1 only or does it refer to type 2 as well? I mean, some people with type 2 can change their diet and exercise and their condition would better, isn't that so?

And then again how did doctors try to cope with it?

Does anybody know where I can find some extensive resources online? (no wiki tho) :)

I've had diabetes for about a year now. I've quit alcohole altogether and now looking to further things.

Alcohole was one of the easy ones, but I know what I need to face will be hard. Oh, well, I geuss it needs to be done either way.

Which should I kick first? unhealthy eating or smoking?

I waited 3 hours and tested it again and it read 179. Could this be caused from eating dinner or do I have diabetes? My father is a diabetic and I use his new breeze meter to test my blood sugar at times, but my readings have never been this high. What do you think? I am really scared.

I stopped eating meat about 4 months ago because of a medical issue. I just had my blood and "fluids" tested and they both came back with high blood sugar. I have never had this before and thought that there might be a connection with a diet change (now eating more carbs like pastas, baked potatoes). Is this normal, will it rebalance? Should I think about watching carbs as well?

I'm a 14 year old girl, my doctor told me to get a blood test done because im kind of over weight, and then i got the results in the mail and I'm kind of thick, like my body, but I'm not HUGE, and the results say nothing of being diabetic but it does have a collum for it and i dont know if it says i am for sure a diabetic it says to set an appointment to "talk" about the results i am going tomorrow, and im really scared that she'll say im diabetic i have cried so much, because im scared and my parents say that she probably just want to talk about my diet and excersise but i still worry. Any good advice? Is diabetes something really bad? I have no idea what to think any more. =/

I was prescribed Metformin for my hypoglycemia because they said I am "insulin resistant". I took 250 mgs at 5:00 pm yesterday and then ate dinner like instructed. I am now living like a humming bird where I have to have sugar every two hours because I am crashing.

I have been up all night because when I get low, I get an adrenaline surge. I have eaten a small PB sandwich every three hours and my stomach is full. I can't eat much more but I still keep crashing.

How long does it take to get out of your system?

Any suggestions?

It's tough to keep to a testing and eating schedule (although I DO try and keep fruit and small snacks with me) while I am travelling by plane. What do YOU folks do - any tips to share?

Thanks!

I started feeling hot all over Like I was on fire, my heart started beating really fast (153 per minute) and hubby told me to check my sugar and it was 235, tonight it happend again but sugar was 213. Someone suggested I was going through menopause, but I am only 32. Is my sugar causing this or could I really be going through the change? Anyone have these symptoms? Help, I am scared!!!!
