Signs of Diabetes

how do you get strips for testing blood glucose, to control diabetes? 7

There are three ways , that I know of, to get test strips.
1. From a pharmacy. They keep them locked up behind the counter so you need to know what type of meter you have. The normal price for test strips are 25- $29. 50- $49 100- $89. They are expensive.
2. get your doctor to write a prescription if your insurance will pay for them
3. Some churches give away testing supplies to needed people. I have done this before when I was broke and it was very helpful. Your doctor should have a list of churches/organizations that do this.
Good Luck

Frequent urination could mean diabetes? 9

My boyfriend just had a doc’s appt today for possible ulcer. He also told her that he urinates about every hour (full bladder not just a trickle). She didn’t even examine him and told him she’s 90% sure its diabetes. I’ve never heard of that being one of the signs but she’s sending him for the testing.
Anyone heard of this?

Yes, frequent potty breaks can signal diabetes. There are normally other symptoms as well such as fatigue, unquenchable thirst and ravenous hunger. Only the proper diagnostic tests can tell for certain and I would insist on these if the doctor refuses to run them or else seek out another opinion.

Symptoms:
* Frequent urination
* Excessive thirst
* Unexplained weight loss
* Extreme hunger
* Sudden vision changes
* Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
* Feeling very tired much of the time
* Very dry skin
* Sores that are slow to heal
* More infections than usual.
