Is it possible to have multiple diabetic symptoms but not actually be diabetic?

Some of the common 'early warning' signs of diabetes are:
> Excessive hunger and/or thirst
> Frequent urination
> Constant fatigue
> Unusual irritability &/or mood swings

It is true that many of these symptoms do cross over other conditions, but when 'all of these symptoms' are combined, they do indicate diabetes.

Itchy dry skin, constant fatigue, increased yeast infections and mood swings, could be related to menopause due to decrease in hormones, but without the other symptoms you have mentioned.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000894.htm

If you have these symptoms you mentioned then please have yourself checked for diabetes, and then let the doctor work through the symptoms to find the cause.

husband has normal glucose test.Is not diabetic.levels keep dropping though. what could be wrong?

he is 47, his dad has diabetes and his mom just found out she does. the doctor said he does not. his levels will drop down to 50 even a half hour after eating and he gets real dizzy and weak.
his doctor tested his glucose with a fasting and they came back first hour: 134 (70-195),second hour:107(70-140), third hour:70(70-130).
glycohemoglobin: 5.4
the doctor told him he is neither diabetic or hypoglycemic. He is going to check his pancreas and patuitary for something.

could be Hypoglycemia...I had that problem as a kid...I passed out a few times and as a result was tested for both diabetes and hypoglycemia...aka "low blood sugar". I have found that if I eat some candy, drink juice or eat/drink something with sugar in it, the dizziness goes away within minutes and I can go on with my life.

Is it better to have low blood glucose or high blood glucose?

The normal blood glucose range should be between 70 and 100. Mine goes below 70 sometimes.
Gary B would you email me so we can talk?

BOTH are dangerous. You need to strive for NORMAL glucose levels which are 80-120. ANY value in that range is considered normal.

TOO HIGH blood sugar is called DIABETES, and I suspect that you already know what THAT means -- blindness, nerve problems, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes, even amputations and death!

Too Low blood sugar is called HYPOGLYCEMIA. In this case you become confused and disoriented, like being drunk. If you do NOT get help (eat something) when this happens, you could pass out. At that point, if you do no get medical care (call 911) you could go into a coma and die.

Now, the problem with Hypoglycemia is that it attacks suddenly -- one minute you are tooling down the street on you way to a favorite night club. The next minute you wake up in an ambulance, after having passed out while driving, and killing three people in the other car.

Hypoglycemia is usually caused by a poor diet, too low in calories. If your blood sugar have a tendency to drop below 70, you need to EAT MORE!

High blood sugar usually affects only you, but through you it also affects you immediate family. it can take months or years to develop symptoms of Diabetes/ In the mean time the patient suffers from pains they can;t describe (and pain killer won;t help), and various "ailments" that may seem to be age related. Diabetes causes sexual dysfunction, like Erectile Dysfunction in men or "frigidity" in women.

Diabetes has to most serious result -- it IS 100% fatal. Almost ALL diabetics die of diabetic complications -- unless they get hit by a bus! heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure are common causes of diabetic death. But Diabetes causes the body to respond poorly to other disease, so "normal" problems like flu are often fatal to diabetics. Diabetics are also more susceptible to other disease like infections and cancer.

1.the largest of the circulatory routes is the pulmonary route.
2. osmotic pressure is the force exerted by a fluid pressing against the wall.
3. reflexes that regulate blood pressure are integrated at the brain stem (medulla) level.
4. the atria recieve blood returning to the heart
5. autonomic regulation of heart rate via two reflex centers found in pons.
6. the myocardium recieves its blood upply from coronary arteries.
7. as pressure in the aorta rises due to atherosclerosis, more ventricular pressure is required to open the aortic semilunar valve.

How much would it cost to have a pancreas transplant ?

My 22 years old and I have type 1 diabetes. I just want to know if having a pancreas transplant would be more cost benefit than spending a lifetime supply of insulin pens ( humalog & lantus), pen needles, test strips, Lancets, and pills for my high blood pussure and cholesterol

i have actually done a lot of research on this and you can have a pancreas transplant but it is not likely one would ever be available to you, all most all of the time when someone has a kidney transplant they do the pancreas as well so the pancreas' would go to the kidney recipients first. if someone you knew donated theirs to you upon death it would be possible, but theyd have to be a match for you and thats not likely. hopefully someday there will be a cure, but the damn drug companies make so much money off of diabetics they will never let it happen

Charcot's joint question. Please help.?

Hi, My mom was recently diagnosed with Charcot's joint. She has been an insulin-dependent diabetic for over 30 years. She had osteomyelitis in her big toe about 10 years ago, which was amputated and a recent partial toe amputation on the other foot due to osteomyelitis. This Charcot's joint seems to be progressing fairly quickly since her diagnosis about 2 months ago. She keeps fracturing her foot and ankle. Before the Charcot's joint issue, she was a very active person. She is in pain and I am not sure what I can do to help her, so that is why I am asking for any suggestions. Please help. Can anyone tell me about treatment options or surgeries that could help her prevent future amputation of that limb. Thank you for your time.

The damage from this condition is not reversible, although certain orthopedic procedures can sometimes alleviate symptoms and prevent problems from progressing. The underlying cause is death of nerve tissue usually from uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes, but sometimes it happens in spite of good glucose management, especially in elderly people.

Can someone paraphrase the following?

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the measure of the beat to beat variation in heart rate.
 Baroreceptors detect the change in pressure upon standing and trigger the sympathetic nervous system to cause vasoconstriction , increase heart rate and stroke volume, thereby increasing blood pressure back to normal.
 Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) is a cardiorespiratory response characterised in mammals by heart rate fluctuations that are in phase with inhalation and exhalation. 
Recordings made under controlled breathing with the assistance of a metronome accentuate the predominantly parasympathetic determined high frequency response.
 Postural changes are also seen to influence RSA. 
Several theories have been proposed as to the mechanisms behind RSA.
 Peripheral Theory postulates that mechanically induced BP fluctuations stimulate baroreceptor mediated changes in circulation.
Central Theory postulates that respiratory oscillations in medullary neuron firing rates drive RSA.

HRV triggers a sympathetic heart rate and sometimes a cardiorespiratory response. Recordings accentuate the high frequency response. Postural changes are Peripheral theories which mediate changes in the respiratory oscillations which results in neuron firing rates, driving RSPCA.
