Guest guest Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabtes when I was in the hospital with a blood clot in my finger. Well my blood sugars were up to 500 in the hospital and I was given the diagnosis by an enternal medicine dr. my clot has gone away with blood thinners. the dr have me a perscription for avandia. I took it for a month and decided not to take it and see what my blood sugars were at, The whole time I have been excercising and eating right. Now I take my blood sugar test and everything is normal. I even ate bad and had some cake and ice cream. Guess what I have had no high blood sugar at all and it has been on the low side. I have not taken avandia in three weeks and my sugars are normal. Could the excercise and diet be kicking in becuase I am young or the clot in my finger caused me to have high blood sugar? I was very suprised that I even had diabetes since I did not have a family history, but I was overweight. Ive losed a little weight maybe that has something to do with it. I see the dr. again on tuesday. If I dont have diabetes I would like him to tell my insurance company so that Im not screwed if I ever lost my insurance. Does anybody have any advice for me to ask my doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
