Question

[Guest guest]

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?
