I had a hyperglycemia melt down am i a diabetic?
the ER doc measure my sugar blood level as 171 and took my numbness and in ability to move or control my limbs, and my racing heart as a panic attack…..
what do you think?
i think your best bet is to contact a doctor for some further testing.
yes, 171 is too high for someone without diabetes. HOWEVER…stress will always cause my blood sugar to shoot up and you were in the ER. For a panic attack. also, you don’t mention how long it had been since you had last eaten/drank something. did they have you hooked up to any sort of an IV? IV solutions can sometime contain dextrose.
Speak to your primary doc. Let him/her know that your blood sugar tested high in the ER. they can schedule you for either a fasting glucose or a glucose tolerance test.
are you haveing any of the symptoms of diabetes?
increased thirst
increased urination
unexplained weight loss
