Tinkerbell Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 You need to go see a doctor to find out for sure. It's as simple as that. You cannot be diagnosed online, so see your doc as soon as possible. Link to comment
avman Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Diabetes would actually cause you to have high blood sugar, not low. It sounds more like you are hypoglycemic to me. definitely see your doctor. Hypoglycemia can kill you if left untreated. You could have a seizure or fall unconscious. Please see your doc immediately. avman Link to comment
Emotional Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 thats some serious stuff ur dealing with..do u ever get blurred vission or a sudden urge to drink like a thirst..cuz now that im lookin at the symtoms im scared cuz thats how i am this is what i just now read... The classic signs of diabetes are: excessive urination including frequent trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night intense thirst and hunger severe fatigue. As Type 1 diabetes progresses other signs of diabetes may include: dry skin blurred vision unexplained weight loss thin, malnourished appearance. Fortunately many of these diabetic signs are similar to a more controllable form of the disease, Type 2 diabetes. Only 5-10% of the people expressing the classic diabetic symptoms will be diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes Physical health is key to this syndrome—80% of Type 2 diabetics are overweight and physically inactive. This was once thought to be a middle-aged disease, but since childhood obesity has been on the rise, cases of Type 2 diabetes are being diagnosed at every age. The majority of Type 2 diabetics are still over 55. thats scary because if u do have that the only way to really know is to go to doctors..i hope u dont have it and i hope ur ok..i have a friend and his lil brother who has this n this liler one his lil brother get spricked with the needle thinggy to take his blood everyday..its sad..i lvoe that lil boy.. well i hope verything goes well..ur friend Emotional Link to comment
SunnyScott Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'm in the same boat too. I'm close to 130 pounds, so I'm borderline diabetic. I'm pretty medium for my height, however, i feel as though my blood sugar levels are low too. Link to comment
