Should I Be Tested For Diabetes And Hypoglycemia? Posted: 03-24-06 19:20pm
Hi, i'm 17 yrs old and there is a family
history of diabetes and hypoglycemia in my
family. Recently i've been having more
symptoms of that and my blood pressure
goes low. Today I couldn't give blood
(they took my reading 3 times) because the
diastolic reading was around 42 and 45,
the first time another lady took it she
said that it didn't stop going lower, it
went all the way down into the lower 20s,
she didn't say what the top number was....
Would my blood pressure be affected this
way by having diabetes or hypoglycemia?
Should I ask to be tested for them?

Hi there! Welcome! I have allways have
felt that if you are in doubt you should
get it checked out as it is betterr than
stressing about it and if you do have
diabetes or you are hypoglycemia, you can
start being treated for it. We are here
for you.
Good luck!
Keep us posted on what you find out.
