My wife is 5 months pregnant and the doctor wants her to be tested for diabetes with a very sweet high sugar syrup. She is suppose to fast overnight and then drink this syrup and wait 3 hours. Will all this sugar hurt my baby?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with hereditary hypoglycemia for a while now. I inherited it from my father’s side of the family, but I am now curious if I can also develop diabetes from my mother’s. My maternal grandpa and uncle from my mother’s side of the family have both developed diabetes in their 50’s. So, I am wondering if I can also develop diabetes when I am already hypoglycemic?

A J asked:


Would being diabetic have an effect on me becoming a firefighter? I just got accepted to do the interview process and then I have a medical test examination. If they find out that I have diabetes would that effect anything. I have had diabetes for about 1 year now. I am not overweight and young (26) so its a hereditary thing. Thanks.

I have gestational diabetes and I’m worried that the minute that my fiance cuts the cord they’re going to take my baby to the NICU. Everything that I’ve heard keeps saying that they take the baby away from you and I don’t want them too and I don’t think I will let them. So can anyone tell me if this is true or not?

My uncle wanted me to ask about the needle ***** the hospital gives diabetics. He wants to know if they’re testing for only one type of diabetes or all.

I was diagnosed with type two diabetes about 6 months ago.
I’ve gotten on the medication metformin.
I have lost 40 pounds or so.
I am wondering if there is anything at all I can do about my skin condition of dry skin and also am concerned about the bad breath.

I brush my teeth a few times a day but it still stinks after a few hours. I get tired of brushing it out again. **sigh**

Could it say I have diabetes if I ate alot of sugar before I had the test?
Should i refrain from eating?
