diabetes testing?

Question

I don't know much about diabetes and the internet sites don't really answer my question: Is there anyway I can test for diabetes without going to the doctor?

Answer 2

Answer 3

Just about any walk in clinic will give you the test but that won't tell you much without testing for an extended amount of time.
If you have any friend or family member that is diabetic you can ask them if they will do the testing for you using their monitor & strips.
What is your question that the diabete websites are not answering for you?
You do not need a doctors permission to buy ANY of the supplies that a diabetic needs (other than type 2 meds) insulin, syrings, monitors, strips are all over the counter items. (I am talking about in America only, I don't know the rules for other countrys)
I suggest you keep looking up information on the websites AND to see a doctor, PA, or free clinic if you think you might have this hateful diease, its nothing to fool around with. .

Answer 5

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

sure. you can visit some health fair and they do that for free. or if you know someone who is diabetic, they own gluco meter, you can ask a favor to check your glucose and see if your results are something to worry about. usually if your family have a history, you might consider a risk of becoming a diabetic due to genetic factors. but if you really want to make sure 100%, check with your doctor cause they can order the hgb (hemoglobin) test, that is the accurate testing for diabetes.

check on line what are the sign and symptoms then consult your physician if you really feel you need to be tested.

honestly, i didn't know that i am diabetic until 2002 when i came back from traveling. i was hospitalized but i know already, i have a tendency to become one, due to my family history it involves with both side-my paternal grandmother, my own mother and aunt..

but now, since diabetic people are high percentage now these days, i don't think of it as something rare to worry about....i guess that is how i think of it. just live your life and see doc once in a month.

Answer 7

Do you know anyone with a glucometer? They can let you use theirs to check your sugar on. Otherwise you can buy starter kits at the drug store for anywhere from $20-$50. Sometimes the Health departments/hospitals will put on free screenings at malls and what-not.
If you get a reading use these general guidelines :

For overnight fasting:
70-99 normal
>126 on 2 separate occasions = diabetes, see a doc
in between may be impaired glucose tolerance, see a doc to determine

For random:
>200 with symptoms (increased thirst, urination, etc) = diabetes
>250 regardless of symptoms

Answer 9

Well, you could get the kits that diabetics use to test their blood sugar levels.

If in the morning before breakfast your blood sugar level is high, then you are quite possibly diabetic.

I recommend you just visit a doctor, anyway. As long as you have insurance, it should be cheaper than getting a diabetes test kit.

Answer 10

You can buy a machine at the drug store, but you should go to the doctor and have them do a test to make sure you really have diabetes. It wouldn't make sense to spend money on a machine, test strips and lancelets if you don't to. Try www.dlife.com its a web site on diabetes.

Answer 11

Please see the webpages for more details on Diabetes. You can purchase a glucometer and check blood sugar yourselves or go to the nearest clinical lab and get your blood sugar level tested. But in the case of diabetes, periodical checkups by the doctor are compulsory in order to avoid complications. Foods having low carbohydrates and fat, daily exercise and anti-diabetic pills are essential factors in controlling the diabetes.
