You need to have a C-peptide test done. This test lets you know if your body is still producing any insulin on its own. If there is still some insulin being made, the person is a type II diabetic, if not, they are a type I. Good luck!

Alternative Names:\n\nNoninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; Diabetes - type 2\n\n\nCauses, incidence, and risk factors:\n\nDiabetes is caused by a problem in the way your body makes or uses insulin. Insulin is needed to move glucose (blood sugar) into cells, where it is used for energy.\n\nIf glucose does not get into the cells, the body cannot use it for energy. Too much glucose will then remain in the blood, causing the symptoms of diabetes.\n\nThere are several types of diabetes. This article focuses on Type 2, which is usually accompanied by obesity and insulin resistance. \n\nInsulin resistance means that insulin produced by your pancreas cannot get inside fat and muscle cells to produce energy. Since the cells are not getting the insulin they need, the pancreas produces more and more. Over time, abnormally high levels of sugar build up in the blood. This is called hyperglycemia. Many people with insulin resistance have hyperglycemia and high blood insulin levels at the same time. People who are overweight have a higher risk of insulin resistance, because fat interferes with the body's ability to use insulin.\n\nType 2 diabetes usually occurs gradually. Most people with the disease are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, Type 2 diabetes can also develop in those who are thin, especially the elderly.\n\nFamily history and genetics play a large role in type 2 diabetes. Low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight (especially around the waist) significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.\n\nOther risk factors include:\n\nRace/ethnicity (African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans all have high rates of diabetes)\nAge greater than 45 years\nPreviously identified impaired glucose tolerance by your doctor\nHigh blood pressure\nHDL cholesterol of less than 35mg/dL or triglyceride level of greater than 250mg/dL\nHistory of gestational diabetes

Normal\nA blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood. \n\nResults are usually available within 1 to 2 hours.\n\nBlood glucose  Fasting blood glucose:\n 70–99 milligrams per deciliter or less than 5.5 mmol/L\n \n2 hours after eating (postprandial):\n 70–145 mg/dL (less than 7.9 mmol/L)\n \nRandom (casual):\n 70–125 mg/dL (less than 7.0 mmol/L)\n \n\n \n\nNormal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your health professional will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and medical history. \n\nHigh values\nThe American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for diagnosing diabetes are met when any of the following results have been repeated on at least two different days: \nA fasting blood glucose level is 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher.\nA 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test result is 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher. For more information, see the medical test Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. \nSymptoms of diabetes are present and a random blood glucose test is 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher. Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst and frequent urination (especially at night), unexplained increase in appetite, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, erection problems, blurred vision, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.\nIf your fasting blood glucose level is between 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L), you are considered to have prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose), and you have an increased chance of getting diabetes. \nOther conditions that can cause high blood glucose levels include severe stress, heart attack, stroke, Cushing's syndrome, medications such as corticosteroids, cancers, or excess production of growth hormone (acromegaly). \nLow values\nA fasting glucose level below 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) in women or below 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) in men that is accompanied by symptoms of hypoglycemia may mean you have an insulinoma, a tumor that produces abnormally high amounts of insulin.\n\nLow glucose levels also may be caused by:\n\nAddison's disease. \nDecreased thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism). \nA tumor in the pituitary gland. \nLiver disease, such as cirrhosis. \nKidney failure. \nMalnutrition or an eating disorder, such as anorexia. \nMedications used to treat diabetes. \nWhat Affects the Test \n\nReasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:\n\nEating or drinking less than 8 hours before a fasting blood test or less than 2 hours before a 2-hour postprandial test. \nDrinking alcohol. \nIllness or emotional stress, smoking, and caffeine. \nTaking a medication, such as birth control pills, medications used to treat high blood pressure, phenytoin (Dilantin), furosemide (Lasix), triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide), hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, Hydro Par, Oretic), niacin, propranolol (Inderal), or corticosteroids (prednisone) can cause changes in your test results. Make sure that your doctor knows about any medicines you take and how often you take them.\n\nWhat To Think About \n\nOther tests are needed to accurately diagnose diabetes. A blood glucose test may not identify some people with prediabetes or early diabetes. Many experts recommend using a glucose tolerance test if the result of a fasting blood glucose test is between 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). This range is above the normal range but below the range that indicates diabetes. For more information, see the medical test Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. \nGlucose levels in urine also can be measured. Many people with diabetes have glucose in their urine. However, the level in the blood must be very high before glucose can be detected in the urine. For this reason, tests for glucose in urine are not used to diagnose or monitor diabetes. For more information, see the medical test Urine Test. \nIf you have diabetes, you will be able to

From Type I diabetes there really isn't anything you can do.\n\nFor Type II ... avoid becoming obese.  You need to stay active and healthy.  If you have a family history of Type II diabetes you need to be very careful about keeping your weight within a healthy range, avoid drinking alcohol in excess, and stay active.

Type 1 - no\n\nType 2 - maybe.  There are studies which indicate that people who eat a lot of high glycemic foods (sugar is one) develop type 2 diabetes as a result of the constant assault on their pancreas.\n\nYou'd be wise to buffer your sugar with protein or eat smaller amounts several hours apart.

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
