[DES530]

ok my thing is  my Dr. said he doesnt want to see me unless i get to lows under (60) this was what i was testing for well. Also he siad check a hour after eating since i can feel weird at that time and not to see him tell i get 2 high over 190. so far my readings after i eat are about 144 an di have had 1 low at 54 but i feel real low with any thing under 95 and worse at 70 i cant wait for it to drop lower i give in and eat. i have had 1 reading at 201 2 at 180 and i just got one at 197 i dont get thursty i kinda feal like i drank a lot of caffien i mean a lot. my head would hurt a bit. i dont know if this is normal when it it high. My ??? is even thow i got 2 highs but they are almost 1 month apart is there something going wrong? I know i should go make a apt, but i want more info before i go in. I have tried to get a hold of him but no luck he wont call back so i turn to you all. you are all a good help and i would be lost with out you all. My Dr. think every thing is ok. ever time i go to him he thinks its in my head . ( turns out ever time there is some thing like. low platlets then anima, then ulcerative colitis and i just had to get my gallbladder  out due to Acalculous Cholecystitis)

Endocrinologist. Ask your regular doctor for a referral. This is the doctor who specializes in diabetes. There is also something called a diabetologist but they are less common.

Many PCPs don't know very much about diabetes, and your doctor sounds very much in the dark. You need to get an accurate diagnosis and then a plan for treating your diabetes. Diagnosis is not based on number of highs. Diagnosis used to be based on fasting blood sugar or OGTT. Any ONE fasting blood sugar 126 or higher qualifies for a diagnosis of diabetes. 100 to 125 is pre-diabetes. The current mode of diagnosis is considered to be the A1C which is an average of blood sugars for 2-3 months. Anything from 5.7 to 6.4 is pre-diabetes and 6.5 and over is diabetes. End of story. Non-diabetics rarely go over 120 after eating. Any prolonged blood sugars over 140 can lead to diabetic complications. I would see a qualified doctor or an endo and get diagnosed. Then you can begin to work on your diabetes with a combination of  weight loss if you are overweight, cutting carbs and getting regular exercise. Diabetes is a manageable disease.
