Am I diabetic with these results ?

[herorzero]

I am 29 year old ,have been suffering with anxiety related symptoms including heart racing, tremble in hands,often little sweating in palms from the last 10 months.I have a family history of type 2diabeties. I ve been to hospitals during this period and got tested my blood sugar levels. none of the doctors confirmed that i am diabetic though my test results reached the border line ( hba1c 5.8 , fasting 5.4 mmol(98mg) , after breakfast 7.7mmol(140mg). i took this test when I had extremely High level of anxiety ,I was trembling and my heart was beating like it would explode any time .the lab technician found it difficult to take blood sample from my trembling hand)this happened 5months back .

after that I constantly worked hard in gym and took care of my diet and managed to lost 8 kg (17.6 pounds).I am well within ideal weight for my height. I am still having anxiety related symptoms though not that seviour like before . Today I got checked my blood sugar .It was 5.2 mmol(93 mg) , I had 2 sandwitch with egg and Orange juice and again i tested BG after 1 hour 45 minutes .. it was 6.8 mmol (122.4 mg).

am I diabetic ? I wonder how can i bring the glucose levels withing normal range . btw sorry for my english which is not my native language

If I ate two cups of rice and 2 slices of bread my blood sugar would probably be in the 400s! So you now have an opportunity to learn to slowly cut those carbs before it is absolutely necessary!

I am going to make this lifestyle as a habbit as you said. again today i went to hospital , I took readings exactly after 55 minutes i ate my lunch which contains a cup of buttermilk , 2cups of rice, 2 big wheat breads ,and some vegatable curry. results  7.7 mmol (138 mg ).   thank you

It is impossible to say if you will progress to diabetes or not and how long it will take if you do; there are just too many variables. But the bottom line is the more lifestyle changes you make, the longer you will keep your blood sugar lower: healthy weight, lower carb intake and regular exercise. Even if you have a good A1C it's not a good idea to think you are " cured"  and revert to bad habits. The best idea is just to make the lifestyle changes a habit in your life.

Thank you ! I have diabetes family history . My father was diagnosed  with diabetes when he was 47 years old and his father(my grandpa)was diagnosed when he was  57 or around 60 something.

Now I am 29 years old  .I understood that I have   pre diabetes .  I felt happy when I read about pre diabetes , that it can be reversible and I can become normal again. after managed to reduce my weight 8 kg with diet and exercise  , am well within ideal range for my height now.   My question is if i have family history of diabetes , does it mean that it is not in my hands to prevent developing diabetes ?. should it go this way ?  .  how many years more i can be normal with this test results.  Thank you

Diabetes only causes frequent urination if the numbers are quite high. It might have another cause; I would check with your doctor.

thanks zoelula ! I have this problem  .. I have to use urinals very often  during the day time.  but I never wake up at night times in the middile of sleep. Is this problem due to pre diabeties condition ?

Congratulations on taking things in hand and losing the weight! It sounds like that has lowered your blood sugar back into normal range. Your A1C you had done before puts you in the pre-diabetic range which begins at 5.7. However, it sounds like you have lowered your blood sugar with your weight loss and it would probably be better now. You are doing well and I would continue keeping your weight in the normal range and you might want to lower your carb intake a bit. Two sandwiches are a lot of carbs and orange juice is very carb intensive. You have a tendency towards diabetes and everything you can do to keep it from progressing is good. Keep up the good work!
