do i have diabetes?

[mistyhickman]

This morning I was cooking my husband brunch and after I cooked his and cooked me some toast, i   broke out in a cold sweat and started shaking and dropped my plate on the way to the table. I checked BG and it was 80 and It usually runs about 130. Is this a sign of diabetes or hypoglycemia??? It was my grandmothers machine,

Hi there,
To find out if you are diabetic or not, to me, the most inexpensive and quickest way is purchasing a A1C self-test kit called A1C NOW made by Bayer available at WalMart or Walgreeen for about $29.90. This kit is very accurate and simply follow the instruction voila in 5 minutes, the result is in front of you. Good luck

The machine might have been old, or broken. I'd still consult a doctor if this continues. If it had to be one of the two, it'd probably be hypoglycemia. Here are some symptoms of it you need to watch.

SYMPTOMS:

Symptoms you may have when your blood sugar gets too low include:

*Double vision or blurry vision

*Fast or pounding heartbeat

*Feeling cranky or acting aggressive

*Feeling nervous

*Headache

*Hunger

*Shaking or trembling

*Sleeping trouble

*Sweating

*Tingling or numbness of the skin

*Tiredness or weakness

*Trouble sleeping

*Unclear thinking

Sometimes your blood sugar may be too low, even if you do not have symptoms. If your blood sugar gets too low, you may:

*Faint

*Have a seizure

*Go into a coma
