have you got diabetes?

Question

has anyone ever been told they have diabetes and found out you have not?

my 3 year old has got type 1 and her sugar level is allways low she is on the smallist dose of insulin now. her nurse said she must be preducing a lot of insulin on her own but if she keeps staying low she will contact the consultent and see what he says next week does that mean she might not have it

sorry she is type 1 and only had it for 5 weeks.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the diagnosis of diabetes is pretty reliable, especially in a little one like yours. My daughter was diagnosed at 9 months, and I was diagnosed when I was 25...and we still have it :(

Answer 3

I was told last year that I had type 2 diabetes and I researched online about all the things to do, such as diet and exercise, and I followed the diabetic food pyramid, and then this last November when I went to the doctor for my yearly physical, I was no longer a diabetic!
(not even a pre-diabetic!)
I still follow the diabetic food pyramid though as it is a very healthy diet and gives me more energy and I enjoy the exercise!

Answer 4

Yes. They told us this summer that my daughter had diabetes...after more testing it turned out that she is "at risk" and is "pre-diabetic". I can't begin to tell you how scared we both were, and in ways still are. It's like living on the "edge of a knife" at this point. Frankly it sucks...

Answer 5

Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion and variable degrees of peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia. Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria. Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose. Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.
