Are you going to an endocronologist?  That is a doctor that specializes in the endocrine system.  I am not sure wether you got diagnosed as diabetic or not?  Have you had a fasting glucose test?  I mean specific bloodwork done.  I think you might need to have that done first before you get worried.  Using your grandmother's glucometer can help you get an indication if your blood sugars are high--but again you need the bloodwork done in order to get true results and a diagnosis from a doctor.  When you test with your grandmother's glucometer you have to remember her meter could run the numbers a little high or low. AND make sure your hands are clean(wash them before you test) because if there is any residual sugar on them it will effect the test.
