I have been put on medicine for diabetes what if i dont have it?

Question

I have been to my Dr. with concerns of high glucose levels some of them up to 307 I have been experiencing getting really hot and top part of stomach burning to the point of passing out or close to passing out. The Dr. has put me on Junuvia and Glumetza. My A1c levels were all fine and most of the time my glucose levels are fine. What if I dont have Diabetes and take these medicines? Could it hurt me? I am really confused I dont want to take them if I dont have diabetes.

Answer 1

Well, if your glucose is that high then you should maybe get more tests done to make sure it is diabetes and not just a few bad readings. Sometimes when you take certain medications or your body experiences some type of shock, it can throw your readings way of including glucose and BP. My father was stung by a wasp once and the medication he received made him have glucose levels of around 550 and so. His doctor put him on diabetes medication and my dad experienced a lot of weight loss, crazy thirst, and weakness as well as fatigue. He stopped taking them because he knew he didn't have diabetes (he was a doctor) as of now, he is much better and test reveal he does not have diabetes and didn't need any diabetes medication it was just a side effect of the medication given to him. Every situation is different but if you are worried I would suggest you talk to your doctor first before making any decisions of stopping medication or making any radical changes.

I have Diabetes Type 1, My advice to you is to obtain a Blood Sugar Level Testing machine such as Advantage 2 test your blood sugar levels before breakfast, 1 hour after breakfast, the same for lunch and dinner and before going to bed. Do this every day for one calendar week. When completed the machine has a function which allows you to get a average. If your average BSL is over 7 you have diabetes. Medication for diabetes usually starts with Metformin 500gms TDS. If diabetes becomes worse or is unstable the introduction of an insulin such as Nova Rapid may have to be used to break down the sugar that your pancreas is not. Regards SadSack

The stomach burning is probably acid reflux. When did your glucose level go up to 307? Did you just eat or was it a fasting test? Everyone, diabetic or not, experiences a rise in blood sugar after eating. If the 307 was post meal, how long after eating did you test? The rule of thumb is to test 2 hours after eating because it takes about 2 hours (but everyone's body is different) to (1) digest the meal, (2) have your body become aware of a rise in blood sugars as the food is absorbed, and (3) release insulin to combat the higher level. Regardless, the best way to see if your blood sugars are out of wack is to do a fasting glucose test. Don't eat anything after midnight, and when you wake up in the morning, test your sugars. If the level is above 200, chances are you do have diabetes. You can also have your doctor perform a glucose tolerance test. If your doctor does not want to listen to you or do another test, find another doctor. An endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in diabetes; you may want to get in touch with one.

If you do have diabetes, it is not the end of the world. Just be sure for your own health and peace of mind.

Best of health to you and yours.

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/VSmAq

It sounds like you do, but if you don't take care of the problem it will continue to get worse until you become a full fledged type 1 diabetic. Continue on the medication and listen to your doctor.

Answer 8

If you have levels as high as 307, you have diabetes. Your levels are probably fine now because of the meds you are on. The stomach issues sound like acid reflux and not diabetes. You should discuss that with your doctor. And, if you are unsure of your doctor and his treatment, consult another one.

DIABETES--DEFINITION
Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion by the pancreas and variable degrees of peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyphagia (excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth), and polyuria (excessive urination). Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose (blood sugar). Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.

Hyperglycemia is high blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Answer 10

post lunch blood sugar more than 200 is considered to be diabetes. below that is considered glucose intolerance, which can be handled by diet and exercise. since your sugar level is 307, you have diabetes.
if you had normal blood sugar and took the drugs, you would get woozy from low blood sugar, and may become unconscious.
