After only 2 hours in the hosptial he passed away. Why did they send him home? I wonder if he would of been saved if they monitered himlonge
How do doctors diagnose diabetes?
I’m making an appointment tomorrow to be tested for diabetes. I’m scared shitless at the thought of having it. So I want to kind of mentally prepare myself for what will happen.
What do they do to test for it? Just take blood? I read somewhere that you have to fast for a certain amount of hours beforehand… is that true? How long does it normally take to get results? Please, any information you can give would really give me peace of mind.
Thanks!
