Women may develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy due to the changes in the body while expecting. Although this condition disappears after delivery is a clear sign that the woman is at risk of developing Type II diabetes later in life and is likely to suffer gestational diabetes in future pregnancies.  \n  \n\nWe recommend  \n  \n\n Take Alpha lipoic acid It helps to control sugar level in the blood. Alpha lipoic acid is considered among the elite, multipurpose antioxidants.  \n\n Take 400 mcg. a day of chromium picolinate makes insulin more efficient helping keep sugar level low.  Chromium maintains stable blood sugar levels through proper insulin utilization and can be helpful for people with diabetes and/or hypoglycemia.  \n\n Take Garlic in capsules it helps circulation and regulates sugar level. \n\n 500 mg of L-glutamine and taurine a day to reduce sugar cravings and to help release  \ninsulin.  \n\n Mother Nature's Siberian Ginseng Extract supplies 150 mg. of siberian ginseng root extract in each capsule. Siberian Ginseng strengthens the adrenal and reproductive glands. It enhances immune function, promotes lung functioning and stimulates the appetite. Siberian Ginseng is useful for bronchitis, circulatory problems, diabetes, inflammation, infertility, lack of energy, stress and to protect against the effects of radiation exposure. Many of the studies on Siberian Ginseng were performed in Russia, and pertained primarily to stamina and endurance. Mother Nature's uses the finest herbal extracts (highly concentrated) that are standardized to indicate an optimal level of freshness, purity and potency.

Don't worry about rude people. You may possibly have some sort of bladder infection or UTI. Especially if you have a constant urge to pee. When I was pregnant I had these symptoms but I think all pregnant women do, but I also have gestational diabetes which caused these symptoms. I am not saying you are diabetic but I know when I had  pregnancy diabetes I had the same  symptoms.

PCOS, polysystic ovarianan syndrom would be my guess. It causes women to be overweight, affects the endocrene system including sugar in a manner simmilar to diabetes and can cause diabetes, affects the frequency of periods from having few to many. Women with PCOS can become pregnant but it is often difficult. Sugar regualtors and birth control are often perscribed to take care of the symptoms which include excess testosterone, facial hair, a bump on th neck, and ovarian cysts. This is just my guess from  what you said the doctor wanted to do, check it out for yourself.

I am a nurse and I was going to tell you to get check for diabetes. But you already have. so I would also get checked for thyroid disease. they can monitor it with medicine, it is not  big deal. I would differently talk with my doctor and if he can't find what's wrong get another doctor.

What does the test result mean?\nHigh levels of glucose most frequently indicate diabetes, but many other diseases and conditions can also cause elevated glucose. The following information summarizes the meaning of the test results. These are based on the clinical practice recommendations of the American Diabetes Association.\n\nFasting Blood Glucose\nFrom 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L) Normal glucose tolerance\nFrom 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) Impaired fasting glucose (pre-diabetes)\n126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) and above on more than one testing occasion Diabetes\n\nOral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)\n[except pregnancy]\n(2 hours after a 75-gram glucose drink)\nLess than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) Normal glucose tolerance\nFrom 140 to 200 mg/dL (7.8 to 11.1 mmol/L) Impaired glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes)\nOver 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) on more than one testing occasion Diabetes\n\nGestational Diabetes Screening: Glucose Challenge Test\n(1 hour after a 50-gram glucose drink)\nLess than 140* mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) Normal glucose tolerance\n140* mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) and over Abnormal, needs OGTT (see below)\n* Some use a cutoff of >130 mg/dL (7.2 mmol/L) because that identifies 90% of women with gestational diabetes, compared to 80% identified using the threshold of >140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).\n\n\nGestational Diabetes Diagnostic: OGTT\n(100-gram glucose drink)\nFasting* 95 mg/dL (5.3 mmol/L)\n1 hour after glucose load* 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)\n2 hours after glucose load* 155 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L)\n3 hours after glucose load* ** 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)\n* If two or more values are above the criteria, gestational diabetes is diagnosed.\n** A 75-gram glucose load may be used, although this method is not as well validated as the 100-gram OGTT; the 3-hour sample is not drawn if 75 grams is used.\n\nSome of the other diseases and conditions that can result in elevated glucose levels include:\n\n    * Acromegaly\n    * Acute stress (response to trauma, heart attack, and stroke for instance)\n    * Chronic renal failure\n    * Cushing syndrome\n    * Drugs, including: corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, diuretics, epinephrine, estrogens (birth control pills and hormone replacement), lithium, phenytoin (Dilantin), salicylates,\n    * Excessive food intake\n    * Hyperthyroidism\n    * Pancreatic cancer\n    * Pancreatitis \n\nLow to non-detectible urine glucose results are considered normal. Anything that raises blood glucose levels also has the potential to elevate urine glucose levels. Increased urine glucose levels may be seen with medications, such as estrogens and chloral hydrate, and with some forms of renal disease.\n\nModerately increased levels may be seen with pre-diabetes. This condition, if left un-addressed, often leads to type 2 diabetes.\n\nLow glucose levels (hypoglycemia) are also seen with:\n\n    * Adrenal insufficiency\n    * Drinking alcohol\n    * Drugs, such as acetaminophen and anabolic steroids\n    * Extensive liver disease\n    * Hypopituitarism\n    * Hypothyroidism\n    * Insulin overdose\n    * Insulinomas (insulin-producing pancreatic tumors)\n    * Starvation \n\n\n\n\nIs there anything else I should know?\nHypoglycemia is characterized by a drop in blood glucose to a level where first it causes nervous system symptoms (sweating, palpitations, hunger, trembling, and anxiety), then begins to affect the brain (causing confusion, hallucinations, blurred vision, and sometimes even coma and death). An actual diagnosis of hypoglycemia requires satisfying the "Whipple triad." These three criteria include:\n\n    * Documented low glucose levels (less than 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) often tested along with insulin levels and sometimes with C-Peptide levels)\n    * Symptoms of hypoglycemia\n    * Reversal of the symptoms when blood glucose levels are returned to normal. \n\nPrimary hypoglycemia is rare and often diagnosed in infancy. People may have symptoms of hypoglycemia without really having low blood

It depends on the type of diabetes.\n\nThere are cases of pregnant women that only get diabetes when pregnant, gestational diabetes, which only affects her during her pregnancy. Any surgery wounds should heal normally but there is a chance of developing Type 2 diabetes afterward.\n\nIf the mother already has diabetes, the wound will still heal but it will take a great deal longer.\n\nA small cut on a non-diabetic person of about 2 inches in length, 1/2 inch in depth heals within 2-3 days; a similar cut on a diabetic will take between 3 and 5 times longer. (generalization)

Study of "Mad Cow" disease.  Or maybe something on insulin and diabetes.

Low sugar level.\nMay be worth having a diabetes check with the doctor, but this can be hormonal.

Well I found out I had type 2 diabetes after I was frequently going to the bathroom, my mouth was always dry, I was sleepy all the time, irritable, and dropping weight like crazy. It had gotten to the point that everything I drank ran right through me, it is quite dangerous not knowing you should go to the doctor asap! I don't know where you live but my son's school tested him.

This is totally and completely a question you need to ask your doctor. However, I did know of a good friend who was in a similar situation, and after going to her doctor, discovered that she had some strange sensitivity to higher glycemic foods - once she controlled her intake of them, it was easier for her to get pregnant. Her doctor did say that many women suffer from a similar condition, and when I tried it myself, even I felt better (cyclical-wise, I mean, as I'm not trying to get pregnant yet) but again, the best bet is to talk to your doctor about all of this - maybe doing a little research on your own wouldn't hurt, either, so that you'll be that much more able to discuss a plan of action with him or her). Best of luck to you and you husband!
