Q: Diabetes?
asked by: averiex on July 21st, 2006

Yesterday I was admitted to the hospital by ambulance after I had passed out three times in the morning, soon after starting to sweat profusely and having tingling arms. I was in extreme abdominal pain, not pregnant, and only 19 (soon 20). My blood pressure was 107/57 before I left the hospital, and my blood sugar was 98 before haven even eating something.

The diagnosis after a long, long day at the hospital was a fluid filled cyst on my left ovary, not cancerous, and not necessary to immediately have it removed. It had ruptured a bit and some of the fluif had leaked, causing the pain. Treatment will be birth control (which I have had trouble with in the past hormonally) and constant checkups due to the information that my mother has, or atleast had endometriosis prior to having a severe hysterectomy last june.

Along with the results of my pain, I was given a complete list of numbers for things such as electrolytes, potassium, calcium, glucose, billirubin, and etc.

My glucose was 98 prior to eating, and it was checked at about 7 in the morning.
A 98-glucose seems kind of odd to me. I was hungry the night before, but the last thing I had was a bowl of fruit at about 9pm. Could I be diabetic, or at risk for diabetes?
