Need Medical Advice Diabetes

[Gunner9043]

I have type 1 Diabetes, and trust me when I say "You don't have Diabetes" Your sugers would be 3-400 or even higher. Sounds like you suffer from hypoglycemia. Eat more especially if you feel lightheaded. Most importantly go see a MD and tell him all of your concerns. Your mental state sounds like more of a concern then anything physical

No,I dont self medicate myself.I know diabetes is high blood sugar, but I just heard somewhere that low blood sugar prolonged can lead to it,plus it runs in the family,so that added to my concern. As for eating,seriously,I eat when hungry until full. I eat whatever we have(usually plenty) and its usually stuff like breakfast-bisquits,eggs,bacon
lunch-sabdwhiches,apple,bannana
dinner-fish,steak

and when I just want a snack I eat whatever. I think I eat plenty,but as for hyperglycemia?? I am not to educated on that,please go into greater detail

Notno, I"m going to say that it sounds like you are doing somethign wrong with the blood glucose meter. You can't have a reading of 20 without being in a coma. You mentioned that the meter was old, so the strips have probably expired and you are getting inaccurate results. You may also be underfilling the testing strip. Please PM if you are interested. I can point you to a free glucose meter, I work in the medical field, specializing in diabetes so i can help you personally.

To endo md

I doubt its error or misuse.The meter isnt old,nor the strips.It was my dads before he died and he died not to long ago.The test strips exp date is 3-04 and its a one touch profile lifescan(what it says) machine/computer thing and strip brands.These are RX devices. I use sterile needle/pricks and warm my index finger and sanitize it with alcohol.I also give adequate blood(as a specialist I am sure you know how picky these machines are) and my mom helps me sort of,shes pretty experienced in such matters. I highly doubt its error,as I said my blood has been in 20's(never coma,always tired) however it usually stays in the 50-60's. I also use a lancet(not that it matters,just for ease)

Still what does dl mean?
How can I eat more if I am not hungry,I mean I eat until full,maybe I just have low blood sugar? I dont exercise as I should,I find it difficult to do because of fatigue.This is nothing new to me,its been this way since a while(at least 6 months) and its just now getting to the point where its really interferring with my life.

Should I take fishoil capsules for circulation?(omega 3 fatty acids) or is that unrelated to the subject?

Heres another main concern. I dont remember what normal feels like,so I dont know if I am normal or if I am sick.(physicallY)

I want to exercise,and I try to be nutritious to some extent.I take vitamins,water, and try! to gulg those horrible tasting protein powders if I am lifting. I find myself tired constantly,and I dont know if I am sick,or if I am just lazy. As for smoking,after 3 or 4 days without one,everything quadruples,hoowever thats not my main concern. Anyways any help would be appreciated,Its not that I dont eat because I am afraid of diabetes,I do eat and I eat well. Anyways if any one has an idea of what I am trying to say,help would be appreciated
