Over the past few years I’ve started going to the restroom to pee a LOT. I can barely go 15 minutes without urinating. Also today my diabetic friend let me use her glucometer first thing in the morning out of curiosity and my blood sugar was like 7.9, she stated that's high for a non-diabetic person. Is it possible that the blood sugar thing was just a fluke? It WAS first thing in the morning and I hadn't eaten.. also I drank wine the night before and got intoxicated from it, could that have affected the test?
It's such a hassle for me to have to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes, i can't even sit down and watch a tv show or motion picture in peace
Help!
Answer:
Any level above 7 (126) is, when combined with the symptoms of diabetes, a complete diagnosis in itself. Yours, 7.9 (142) is definitely above that.
Welcome to the club nobody wants to be in. Unfortunately, once you're in the club, it's a lifetime membership, but when you manage the club well, the rest of your life can be complete and enjoyable all the same.
Make an urgent appointment with your physician (call in the morning and explain your symptoms), or, if your blood sugar nears or goes over 22 (400) at any point, go to the emergency room.
Answer:
The early symptoms of untreated diabetes are related to elevated blood sugar levels, and loss of glucose in the urine. High amounts of glucose in the urine can cause increased urine output and lead to dehydration. Dehydration causes increased thirst and water consumption. The inability of insulin to perform normally has effects on protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin is an anabolic hormone, that’s, one that encourages storage of fat and protein. A relative or absolute insulin deficiency eventually leads to weight loss despite an increase in appetite. Some untreated diabetes patients also complain of fatigue, nausea and vomiting. Patients with diabetes are likely to developing infections of the bladder, skin, and vaginal areas. Fluctuations in blood glucose levels can lead to blurred vision. Extremely elevated glucose levels can lead to lethargy and coma.
Answer:
URGENT - go to the doctor or emergency room IMMEDIATELY. You’ve described textbook symptoms of diabetes.
Your fasting blood sugar that you mentioned is high for waking up in the morning, and I recommend that you be treated immediately for diabetes.
Waiting longer to seek treatment to determine if you’re indeed diabetic can cause long-term damage to your health, and you are possibly at risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis, or toxicity of the blood. This can cause severe dehydration, coma, and even death.
Diabetes is no joke! Go get treated, and I hope you’re feeling better soon.
Answer:
Frequent urination is called polyuria. It can be a sign of many differnt conditions, most notably diabetes insipidus or mellitus. With your symptoms, I strongly recommend seeing a health care provider to get accurate fasting glucose values, along with a two hour post-prandial (post-meal) glucose value.
Answer:
Yes . Diabetes, probably coupled with a urinary tract infection all the way to the kidneys. Get with it girl. You need meds, the right kind of food, and exercise.
Good luck on your journey/
