Jillie asked:
I have been tested for Diabetes but the test shows I do not have it. Nor do I have a problem with my thyroid. My symptoms are:
Excessive thirst( I drink at least 2-3 gallons of water a day), excessive urination, shakey, weak, I had an episode where I was so shakey it felt like my heart racing, my hands and feet tingle at times, my mouth feels like it’s dry even though I drink way too much water.
My A1C came back 5.7, red cells are fine, not my thyroid, liver and kidneys are fine, I am not pregnant( lol! yeah they did a pregnancy test too) My dr is stumped. One morning my blood sugar was 149 before breakfast and my last meal was a 4pm the day before( no snacks either)
Any ideas so I can ask my dr to check up on?
Thanks

Keep testing or see another DR.
I don’t know of any right off but I can give you a link that you can go to and might help you, I would go to it and look around and see if it helps you at all.
Some of these symptoms seem like withdrawals from medication like benzo’s.
I’d see another doctor.
Anxieties get to all of us. You may be stressing to find out what you have. STOP stressing that alone can make any body ill. Medications can make you drink a lot + *** and have stress in your chest.AND if a friend is ILL with the same symptoms you may be sharing the same symptoms just because you care about them.(PSYCHOSOMATIC)
149 before breakfast is a slightly high blood sugar (Diabetes) but a 5.7 on your A1C is on the low side. Most diabetics aim for a 7.0 on their A1C. Strange…but I would see another doc because 149 before breakfast is high.
Theoretically if your blood sugar IS higher than 126 mg/dl before breakfast, it should be measured again and if it still is higher than 126 mg/dl then diabetes CAN be diagnosed… did your doctor measure your blood sugar before breakfast more than once? if he didn’t then you should insist on him ordering the labs again because you MIGHT have the disease.
Hope you found this useful.
You should check out this link:
Try looking at for lots of good articles about it.
if your blood sugar was 149 then no matter what the Dr. says u have diabetes. its not suppose to get over 130.
go to walmart and get a reli on meter kit and check the results yourself and then take the readings to another Dr. and you will get the care you need.
