your situation is really disturbing cali

According to those readings you are diabetic, no matter if you have symptoms or not, then again, these test strips now and then give out false readings, the best thing to do is to take care of your self sweetie, and go to the doctor

The common symptoms and signs of diabetes are:
Polydipsia (Drinking allot of water)
Polyfagia (Eating allot)
Polyuria (Urinating allot)
Weight lost
Blurred vision,poor wound healing,light headiness, dizziness feeling weak.

Wow you better get to a health clinic or the health department ASAP. Our doctor said a fasting number between 70- 120 is normal. 322 tells you that your body is not making enough insulin at this point. You should go to a hospital there is tons of financial help. This is a serious disease. Symptoms you do not to have all frequent thirst, sudden weight loss, frequent urination, headaches, shaking, sweating, dizziness, hunger.. My son almost died and his was 868 all he was doing was drinking and peeing a lot we didn't notice the increase. When he turned blue and was breathing rapidly we took him to the ER. They said he should have been in a coma or dead. He was 8 months old and the first in 20 years to be diagnosed that young at University of Maryland. Do not delay you may not get another day. They said my son had a 50/50 chance of brain damage and kidney failure horrible disease do not play because it reeks havoc on your organs within hours.

Classic signs or diabetes are you need to go to the bathroom a lot and you're thirsty all the time. If money's a problem, you might want to go to a free clinic. You're accue check numbers look a little spooky.

Well, your blood sugar is pretty high. Anything above 300 is considered doctor-worthy. Especially after fasting, you really should get your butt to the doctor. It may not be diabetes, but some other problem. Regardless, a doctor really should be involved. Good luck.

You have the signs with high blood sugar. You really ought to see a doctor or things are getting worse for you. I know many people who didn't take their diabetes seriously and they say that they wished they did at the start and it would save them a lot of trouble with their feet, eyes and kidneys.

blurred vision, thristy, dizzy, going to the bathroom all the time. hungry even though you have eaten, weight again, and some times weight loss, crying for reason, you better be seen by a dr. i know the bills but this is your life you are talking about. also if it runs in the family get your self checked out.

Those sugars really are too high. You can check out this website:

to find out more. Is there a county health division or clinic available to you that will accept payment according to your income? Because you really need to get this checked out.
