Answer 1

Go to the doctor. If you can't afford a doctor, there are many places that do free or low cost screenings. They can't actually diagnose you but they're pretty accurate as long as you fast like they tell you and you don't have anything really weird wrong with you.

I do not know your age, but Juvenile Diabetes can strike adults too. I would stay away from sujgar for sure. The Juvenile Diabetes is something you do not want, because you have to take insulin injections once or twice a day every day of your life. My daughter came down with it when she was 11 yrs old, and she is now 43, working and cannot afford health ins., she is uninsurable. She does not make a lot of money, she has never married. She is doing ok, but it has been tough. My grandson came down with it too, at age 17. This is when your pancreas completely shuts down, the nourishment cannot get into the cells, and you must have insulin to live. The symptoms are you lose weight, not gain. Now, that could be the type that you control with diet, exercise and sometimes, pills. Exercise would be very important, because you need to get rid of the sugar, if you are not on pills. If you take insulin, it is a tightrope you walk, because if you take the insulin, it is to take care of the sugar that you eat, but if you were to say, exercise, playing tennis, you might get too low, and need a small piece of sugar. Now, when I say "sugar", that does mean necessarily sugar like candy. The body does not know the diff. between a candy bar and orange juice, the pastas, and those kind turn into sugar in your body, the high protein foods string out your blood sugar, but the sugars make it go up and then drop. You should get into classes about this, and learn more about your diet. I would suggest to get a blood testing kit, it is just a little prick on your finger and the little monitor will check your blood sugar. You can get a test at the doctor's office, blood work, but if your pancreas is not working right, it will be swinging up and down, and it might be that when the test is done, it may not show a high reading. Your home test is usually done about 30 min. before you eat, and then wait about 45 min, or so, and test again. maybe even one hr., and it will tell you how your body is handling the food you ate. If for instance you ate your dinner, and then waited about an hour or less and tested again, then you would know how the body is handling the food you ate. You want it to be around 100 or less, but if it is like 134 after your ate, it would be high, but not dangerously high. The hig reading would be like over that and into the 180-300 range. If it got that high, I would go to the doctor, because you probably have it. The way Juvenile Diabetes usually works, you get leg cramps, your eyes cannot focus very well, you think you need glasses, you are thirsty all the time, you have to urinate all the time, you lose weight, your body starts to shut down, and try to save the brain, so it starts to burn fat, you are not far from going into a coma, and your blood sugar would go to 500 or more. This is a life or death situation, and if you do not get on insulin then it could be fatal. I gave my daughter when she was becoming dehydrated, Gatorade, which gave her the electrolytes and Potassium her body was losing, by peeing so much, but I did not know that it was the thing to give at that point. Anyway, hope I have helped you. If you are gaining weight, you might have the other diabetes where you can control it with diet and exercie, plus pills if your doctor thinks you need it. If your heart is beating fast and all, you could also have an irregular heart beat, could have developed high blood pressure and or a potential blockage in your heart. You might need to go on a beta blocker that controls also your heart beat and your blood pressure. I do not know what you age is, but that is the silent killer of women, more so than breast cancer, it is the number one killer of women. Have an examination, and I would also include a cardiologist. You should maybe take a Thallium test to see if any blockages are there in your heart, which could also be fatal. Not knowing your age is difficult, but heart blockages, and heart attacks can hit at any age, and I mean as young as 30 or younger. Get checked, it sounds more like heart than diabetes. The numbness in your feet could also be an indication of heart as well, or even diabetes. Please get your heart checked and your blood pressure. You can check yourself in the drug store where they have a blood pressure cuff. The best is go to a good doctor and ask for a cardiologist to go to as well. My doctor did not catch my heart problems until I was about to have a heart attack, I had an angiogram, I could not breath. If that happens, take a aspirin, which can help stop a heart attack. If you have nitro take that, but most people do not have that on hand who are not a heart patient. Take a deep breath and cough, which gives the heart oxygen. Call 911, and do not drive yourself to the doctor, as the paramedics can do an EKG, blood test, and also put you on oxygen immediately. If you have chest pain, and cannot breathe, call 911.

Have a look at this page.
It gives details about diabetes, and how to avoid it.


Diabetes

All diabetics have a common fluke parasite, Eurytrema pancreaticum, the pancreatic fluke of cattle, in their own pancreas. It seems likely that we get it from cattle, repeatedly, by eating their meat or dairy products in a raw state. It is not hard to kill with a zapper but because of its infective stages in our food supply we can immediately be reinfected.

Eurytrema will not settle and multiply in our pancreas without the presence of wood alcohol (methanol). Methanol pollution pervades our food supply -- it is found in processed food including bottled water, artificial sweetener, soda pop, baby formula and powdered drinks of all kinds including health food varieties. I presume wood alcohol is used to wash equipment used in manufacturing. If your child has diabetes, use nothing out of a can, package or bottle except regular milk, and no processed foods.
