Signs of Diabetes

How long high blood glucose before diabetes? 16

I have had a high fasting blood sugar for almost 2 years. Between 106 and 111. I changed my diet and cut out starches and excersised everyday. I bought a glucose monitor and started chacking it at home, always fasting, and sometimes it would be up to 120 when I woke up, even with the changes I made. My family doc said it was nothing to worry about, and I was fine.when i had an ob appt, that doc said I had pre-diabtes and disagreed with the family doc. Does this turn into diabetes or is it really ok? I am confused.

Type two diabetes is a usually a very slow progressing disease. Simply cutting starches and exercising may not be enough. You also need to insure that you are getting plenty of naturally occurring nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables (like potassium, calcium, omega 3, etc). You also need to avoid certain fats.

I think your family doc is a fool. I would trust the OB. If you take aggressive steps now, you can avoid problems in the future. There are several links in my profile that might help you.

Silly question but are these signs of having gestational diabetes? 7

I am being tested for gestational diabetes next week. I am considered high risk for developing it because I am over 25 (I am 27), there is a family history of type 2 diabetes, and both my biological grandma & mother developed gestational diabetes during their pregnancies. Now I am paranoid that I have it, and have been consciously watching my carbs & sugars.
I have gained 26 pounds (gradually), and I measured normal at 24 weeks. I am 5’10" and weighed 150 prepregnancy with a very athletic built.
I have been getting comments from people that I am huge and/or I am going to have a big baby. Is showing significantly and my weight gain indicators that I might have gestational diabetes? Any one else been told they are considered high risk for gestational diabetes but didn’t end up getting it?
Thank you for all of your help.

Hey, wasn’t even told I was high risk and I had it. I’m 27, weighed 112 before pregnancy and 140 when I gave birth and I’m 5’3". So I was skinny everywhere except for my belly. I was border line gestational. I had to take a class on how to watch carbs.
Don’t eat anything with carbs the night before the test. if you fail the first one, Eat something like Cheerios the morning of the second test.
When I went to take the class, I was the only skinny prego in there, so there is a possiblitly. Good, luck. I’m sure you will be fine. My son and I are!
