I take ADD meds and it tends to stop my appetite no breakfast or lunch, i come home eat supper that’s it. could the meds be causing low blood sugar?

m taking my gestational diabetes test tomorrow….IMy doctor told me I need to fast. But if Imy appointment is at 2:45PM tolorrow when should I start fasting?
I’m a little freaked about the test. I know every mother has to take it, but type 2 diabetes runs on both sides of my family so I dont know if this increases my chances

We have been told my son has impaired glucose tolerance by our family physician. He is six. He is going to see a dietician next week and a peditrician in two weeks. In the meantime, we are monitoring his blood sugar levels and using ketostix. Just this week he started showing mild to moderate ketones in the a.m.
This is a new development. The first morning when he showed moderate ketones his blood was 3.2. His lowest number yet and we were nervous. Is this normal for a child with impaired glucose?

Like if i never knew or thought i had it when would they do a test to see if i had diabetes? Or would they never know and would i have to ask them to test me for diabetes?

Should you treat it with a glucose meter? And also, what are other things you should do to treat it? Should you let friends and coworkers know? Or is it not rlly a big deal? It’s all pretty confusing to me! Is it similar to diabetes?

I have several symptoms of hypoglycemia but have never been diagosed as a diabetic. Symptoms show when I am over heated; extreme sweating, trembling hands, dizziness…

what is a dangerous blood sugar number for a diabetic?
what is a high number and what is a low number?
what is it after you eat?
what is it before you eat?
what happens if you have not eaten?
what happens if you fast and then go for a blood test?
any info helps. thanks.

Food that wont clog my arteries, like eggs,cream cheese,etc. Salad makes me gag because I hate the lettuce and I don’t eat a lot of vegetables except potatoes and thats about it. Please help

I am Hypoglycemic with a history of diabetes in my family. When my blood sugar drops i eat cheese or something full of protien to raise my blood sugar back up. Anything else you guys use?

A family friend is very old and got confused with her medication, she has therefore injected water into her body rather than her normal insulin dosage for her diabetes and we are wondering if it is a serious matter?

thankyou

To start I’m only a teenager, when I was born I was named after my great-grandmother and my Aunts hated me for it. So I didn’t exactly feel a lot of love there. I was stalked when I was a kid, I didn’t have a lot of friends and this person tried to become my friend. I don’t really remember him because of the trauma, but he would make me believe every day that I was worthless and useless and that I should just kill myself. We moved to another place later on and I never saw him again, I don’t remember anything of my childhood because the trauma locked the memories away in my head. I grew up being bullied at school but I got good grades and some friends. My dad started getting sick, he was a diabetic, an alcoholic and a smoker, he had to quit his job. Eventually he was too sick to do much. He’s had six heart attacks and eventually he started depending on his kids. Me, my little sister and brother had to look after him because my mother had to go to work and supply for a household of five. The problem was that my dad never learnt his lesson. He had a lot of strokes with death and would depend on us, but then he would go get himself drunk again. He has a very horrible temper and he loves to hurt me, he’d swear and yell at me for nothing and call me a f*cking bitch, a mistake who couldn’t do anything right, I was worthless, a slut (even though I’ve never had a bf) every bad thing under the sun, he’d publically humiliate me in front of people. We were at the Sky Tower for New Years once and he yelled at me and tried to hit me with his cane in front of everyone, everyone just stopped and stared and I tried to run away. He does this too me a lot. My mum is always at work and she makes excuses for him, she doesn’t think we have a hard life and says that he still loves us. My dad does try to be a normal dad, but I can’t do anything right to him, and he ends up hurting me somehow so I can’t keep trying to forgive him. I’m the oldest and he’s harder on me because he thinks I have to be, he publically humiliates me, hurts me etc to make me stronger. I’ve never been able to go out on a family dinner or anywhere with my dad without being humiliated or hurt. My mum blamed me for things that weren’t my fault because we weren’t helping. My friends depended on me at school, they’d complain about their lives and boyfriends to me and they wouldn’t listen to me about mine. I ended up depressed, suicidal and so I started trying to tell myself that I had to be strong. I kept my home life to myself and tried to focus on my academic studies. Things got worse, I learned I had Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and I tried to tell someone, my parents were shaken but they never talk about it. My dad went back to abusing me. I couldn’t tell anybody and my mum said I didn’t need to see a counsellor or something. My five year-old cousin nearly drowned me in a pool but my mother was too busy laughing because I was beaten by a five year old child. Every time I try to tell my friends for help they somehow change the conversation; eventually I learned I couldn’t trust them either. I’m starting to think seriously about taking my life but I don’t want too, I got over it before, but I need help. Am I what they think I am? Or am I just really weak and can’t handle the pressure? Please help

Working out does not stunt your growth, period & go research on it too. Okay, I am 13.5 years old, and since my nutrition is going into my muscles (such as repairing muscles from protein breakdown and getting them bigger & stronger) when you workout, should I take in more nutrients such as from a MULTIVITAMIN pill to also help with height growth, repairing, etc?

Just wanted to let you to know that I plan on going to the dr but I wanted to get started right away on a healthy diet ya know?

Im a male, 33 yrs old, type 2 diabetic.

I very rarely run "high", I closesly monitor my sugar/carb intake.

However, Im wondering how low can it go before it can cause trouble, and what side effects of running low will I experience?
Im not trying to run low, my eating habits tend to go lower. I will have some granola during the course of the day, but I really have to watch my carb intake.

I was just wanting to know what is safe, and what is not.
