The best way to diagnose whether you are diabetic or non diabetic is perform the blood glucose test(either at home with the glucometer or in the lab) and this will give you the result There are two important times to test. First thing in the morning... that's fasting. That tells you how well you managed overnight. Two hours after a meal is a good time to test to see how you compensated for the carbs you took in A poorly controlled diabetic is prone to all sorts of issues that could severely interfere with their job. It's all about managing your blood sugar. If it consistently gets too high, organs can fail, infection can set in, blood circulation can be a problem which can lead to the symtoms that you are suffering. there is lot of information on the diabetes visit http://www.reddiabetes.com If diabetes diagnosed, there are a couple of supplements you might consider that can improve circulation. Pycnogenol and Ginkgo Biloba. Combine those with a primarily vegetable diet and daily exercise of at least 30 to 60 minutes a day, and you will optimize your chances of a full recovery. Keeping your blood glucose down, from now on, is vital as well. |

GO TO THE DOCTOR...either way, if you have either type 1 or type 2, it can shorten your life drastically. Not to mention you could see your quality of life deteriorate drastically. Who would want to be on dialysis???? Not me! Other signs of sugar issues are slight numbness on the face, forehead and ears as well as scalp. After 8 hrs of fasting, if your blood sugar is over 100 then you may be showing signs of problems. Your doctor at this point is your best source. Don't procrastinate, what ever you do. |
