Do I have diabetes?
by WVHick, Apr 08, 2008 07:19PM
My mom is freaking out because I drink and pee all the time, so she had my Aunt bring her glucose monitoring thing because my cousin is diabetic. I hadn't eaten anything all day because my stomach was upset and when she checked it, it was 157. I hear this is high, but not ridiculous. I have never been checked I am 18 years old. Any ideas?

Dear Friends,
I have very much enjoyed my time on Medhelp and have learned from you even while hosting our Ask-A-Doctor forum for Diabetes. Sadly I am leaving the Medhelp community as my own practice has become busier and time constraints have proved quite challenging. So from April 7th 2008 I will be officially away from Medhelp, but you can still find me at our practice website www.endocrinehelp.com, so please drop me a line if you wish. Most likely a new physician will be hosting the Diabetes forum for Medhelp in the future, so please continue to check in with the Medhelp community.
All the best to you and blessings for the future,
Sincerely,
Anita Ramsetty,MD

To: you
You should get your blood sugar tested at the doctors. It sounds high...any fasting blood sugar over 115 can be diabetis! 157 is too high for fasting. Unless you drank juice or something.
