Can you have hyperglycemia without having diabetes?
I went to an internal medicine doctor, who found out that I am slightly anemic and I have hyperglycemia (borderline). I don’t know what the borderline thing means. My paternal grandfather had type I diabetes, most other women and men in the upper ages 50 and over have type II diabetes. I am always thirsty (even at night when i’m asleep), urination, I get really really really irritated if I haven’t eaten anything and I feel extremely weak and tired if I haven’t eaten.
Now, from what I read, you have to have diabetes to have hyperglycemia. But I don’t. I’ve never been in a diabetic coma or anything. Should I go back to a doctor? No insurance right now, so I’m trying to think about everything b4 I walk in there ya know.
Yeah, it’s interesting, I also have a minor heart murmur that can only be heard lying down, which could be a symptom of HYPOglycemia, but most of my personal symptoms are more like HYPERglyc. It’s strange. I haven’t been to that doctor since 2001 or so, and that was in another state. I used to pass out a lot when I was younger, and blackout, hasn’t much happened lately, but sometimes I feel close to it. I don’t know, something is for sure wrong. It kinda feels like when you drink too many pepsi’s or something, it’s a funny feeling, like I can almost feel sugar but I have nothing to go on so I feel weak. I don’t know. I tried to change my eating habits (vegetarian) but I was getting weaker more often. So I don’t know whats going on.
yes, i was reactive hypo- glycemic, and was told i didn’t have diabetes, but needed to lose weight, because diabetes would be the next step.
(hypo= low blood sugar, hyper= high blood sugar) from your symptoms, are you sure it’s not hypo, instead of hyper??
yes, you should go to a dr. and get on a good diet, avoid carbs, and eat more protien, fruits & veggie, a diabetic diet would suit you very well. that’s what i did.
good luck.

When you evenually go to the dr they can request a diabetic blood test and blah which will confirm or deny you have diabetes. However I am also borderline hyperglycemic. Whenever i am on antibiotics I have to watch what I eat and when because the antibiotics throw my sugars out of whack. Mostly the borderline means that you can and probably will eventually become diabetic so they want you to start NOW watching what you eat. At least this has been my experience.
