♥Delizzy asked:


I am eating everything that I need to, as far as nutritional value, but I’m also eating candy and sweets because I’m having some major sweet cravings. It’s not causing me to gain a ton of weight, I’ve only gained 4 lbs at 27 weeks. I have my glucose screening a week from today, just wondering if I’m going to cause myself to get gestational diabetes.

Nosmo King asked:


I have persistent symptoms that point to diabetes, but my doctor just does a blood test and says I am fine. He doesn’t even make me fast first. This just doesn’t seem accurate to me. I would like to go to my next visit with some specific test to ask for.

FAQ asked:


My dog is a Jack Russell Terrier and is 11 years old. He weighs about 11lbs. I have just found out that he has diabetes. My family is heart broken. Is there a diet my dog can eat (preferably Holistic) to help with his diabetes. He would need to take insulin shots twice a day. He may also have Cushings disease. Also, how much and how often should he eat food?

Is it possible to have high blood sugar/ diabetes that is not recognized by standard tests?

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

yahooanswersmom asked:


I am obese, but have never had diabetes or pre-diabetic conditions. I had a baby in 2008, but did not even have gestational diabetes. However I remember something I read which mentioned (just a vague memory here…) that it’s possible to have some gestational diabetes which is not detected by the standard glucose-measuring blood test I had. It was just a fleeting mental note until I started getting athlete’s foot pretty regularly, and read that it may be related to high blood sugar. Any ideas?
