I’m a 29 YO female, height 5’8", weight 139. I’ve had insulin dependent GD twice and a normal GTT 12 months ago. In the last few months, I’ve had significant fatigue and thirst after eating. I started checking my sugars whenever I felt really ill, and have been running levels anywhere from 140 to 240, randomly. <\/p>\n

My GP ordered another GTT and I know my results.<\/p>\n

Fasting: 121
\n1 hr: 238
\n2 hr: 170<\/p>\n

I know the fasting and 2 hr do not officially put me in the diabetic range, and my doc had in passing before mentioned that a random sugar would need to be over 250 to be diabetic. I’ve never hit 250, only in the 240’s. However, this still seems REALLY close to be quibbling about points.<\/p>\n

My doc is out of the office until Monday, so while I know my numbers, I don’t know his interpretation. I suppose I’m afraid he’s going to blow it off because the numbers aren’t high enough. He did walk by and saw the fasting and commented, "looks like impaired fasting glucose. . . I guess we’ll be tightening up the old diet and exercise." He has not seen the other two results.<\/p>\n

I guess I’m concerned because I’m thin and athletic (in training season I run an average of 40 miles a week). I certainly could tweek the diet to cut carbs, but I just don’t think I need to lose weight. Just this side of a year ago, he had me put on 25 lbs because I was too thin (at 115 lbs) and 11% body fat, and it had put me in something called "sick euthyroid syndrome". <\/p>\n

I want to take this very seriously, and while I’d rather gouge my ear than have diabetes, if this is the path I’m on, I’m afraid a lack of an official diagnosis will limit my ability to obtain vigorous treatment or insurance coverage for test strips, etc.<\/p>\n

So, from the perspective of experience, what do y’all think?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
