No worries, I know these aren't permenant fixes.but I just found out about a last minute trip I'm to go on see some familiar faces I haven't seen in a while.so even if it's only a quick 5 or 10 lb fix.I'll take it I'll be safe.and that'll be the last you'll hear of me asking for crash diet advice! Honest:)
Your doctor is doing the right thing with a 3H GTT but why not ask him/her for a A1c test also? that will tell you what your BS has been for the last 3 months I don't understand why doctors are not using this very helpful test along with the GTTGood Luck
Have you been having any flu-like symptoms, i.eweakness, frequent urination, lethargy, headaches or anything like that? haven't been able to eat very much, feeling very sleepy, and/ or rapid weight loss in the past week or so? if so have them check for Ketones in your blood stream, a non diabetic usually doesn't have ketones in their blood if they aren't sickIf there are ketones you could be diabeticthose signs listed above are the symptoms of ketoacidosis, which occurs when blood sugars are extremely high in the body.
Because you worked out before your Dr appointment it possible that you work your sugar level down but once you go for your three hour test regardless of what you do before it will show up because the sugar drink that they give you cannot be handle by a diabetic but if your sugar was in range you may even be borderline diabetic or type twoI wish you luck and hope everything turns out ok.
You probably worked your blood sugar down to normalI advise, don't panic, keep track of what you eat and how you feel after eating then let your doctor knowHave a glucose test as soon as possible and stop skipping meals in the meantime because if you are diabetic skipping meals can make you go too low.
