I have noticed recently (over the past few
months) that I have been acting oddly.
First of all, I find myself having to
urinate frequently. This usually occurs
during school but sometimes in the evening
as well. It is not everyday that I feel
like this. Yesterday, for example, I had
to urinate 9 times between 8:30 am and
3:30 pm; however, today, I only had to
urinate 3 times. In addition, I think that
I have become increasingly moody, but, to
be perfectly honest, I have always been
known for my moodiness; so its a little
bit hard to tell, lol.
Now, today I went to the doctor to check
up on my high blood pressure, which I seem
to be doing more and more these days. She
had me do a urine test, which came back as
very high in sugar (I didn't ask what the
number was.) When she pricked my finger,
however, my blood sugar was low, 67, I
believe. My doctor said that the
urinalysis must have been inaccurate, but,
given my symptoms, I am not so sure. Is it
possible for me to be diabetic and just
expel massive amounts of sugar through my
urine? Oh, I almost forgot, I can feel
when my blood sugar is low, and it doesn't
happen very often. I could definitely feel
that it was low when the nurse pricked my
finger. Do you think that I should just
ignore it or what?
A few other odd symptoms:
I randomly will find that a toe, finger,
or maybe even a whole hand will become
completely cold. It is like it is not even
part of my body. It isn't numb, just cold.
The feeling typically goes away after a
while.
I am noticing red, splotchy stops,
especially on the front of my ankles. Is
this related?
Finally, I have felt tired a lot lately.
Is this a part of it?
Now I take atenolol, which is a beta
blocker, for my hypertension. I am not
sure how much of this is related to that.
PLEASE give me your thoughts! I have
another doctors appointment in a week and
want to go in armed and ready!
Normal blood glucose level should be in
the range 3.3-6.3 mmol/L (60-115 mg/dL).
There should be no glucose in the urine at
all. Presence of glucose in the urine
usually indicates diabetes. In rare cases
(renal glycosuria) there is glucose in the
urine despite normal values of the glucose
in blood. Typical symptoms of diabetes
mellitus are excessive drinking, urinating
and eating, but they are not always
present especially in diabetes type-2.
Increased blood sugar, when hungry, is the
only diagnostic criterion for diabetes
mellitus.
