http://www.soulcysters.net Have you been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes? en Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:30:13 GMT vBulletin 60 http://www.soulcysters.net/images/styles/soul/misc/rss.jpg http://www.soulcysters.net http://www.soulcysters.net/s-about-diabetes-diagnosis-tests-294480/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:21:51 GMT Hi, I've had PCOS for many years, went through infertility treatment and gestational diabetes with each pregnancy..I've been on glucophage for a number of years now. My question is I recently went in with just vague complaints of not feeling well, my pcp looked at my chart and mentioned it had been about 4 years since i've had a GTT test and suggested we do that. I did that and failed BIG time the 3 hour test, however he said my a1c test was ok (i haven't been in to see what the number was)..I was told over the phone by the nurse just to keep on my glucophage that that should do it, I put the brakes on her there, i was told years ago by my then endocrinoligist that they don't use the a1c test as a diabetes diagnosis, it is the GTT test and fasting glucose levels that are used. I have an appt next week to go over all of this in detail with him, I think i'll ask for a referral to an endo. to further clarify this. Any ideas on what I should think? I don't WANT to be diabetic, but I also don't want in 5-10 years to start having REAL problems from something I should've been treating...Thank you for all your help! ]]> Diabetes (Type II) krism74 http://www.soulcysters.net/s-about-diabetes-diagnosis-tests-294480/ http://www.soulcysters.net/pcos-type-1-diabetes-294248/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:57:09 GMT Hi ladies :hello:

I realize this is a type 2 forum - but was curious if there may be any type 1's hanging out among you.

Im a type 1 diabetic that was recently diagnosed with a variant of PCOS. After turning to doctor google I found a ton of links to medical research about type 1 and PCOS. ( just google it I dont have enough posts to where i can paste the links yet).

Anyway even if no one is type 1, I hope you dont mind me hanging out on your board. ]]> Diabetes (Type II) MustangGurl http://www.soulcysters.net/pcos-type-1-diabetes-294248/ http://www.soulcysters.net/insulin-level-293754/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:57:53 GMT Hello Girls just wonder if anyone can tell me if my insulin levels are normal or high the test results showed my insulin level at 18.1 Hello Girls just wonder if anyone can tell me if my insulin levels are normal or high the test results showed my insulin level at 18.1 ]]> Diabetes (Type II) alexander4372 http://www.soulcysters.net/insulin-level-293754/
