Then my appetite actually decreased. Thirst increased, and I was having unexplained night sweats. I was also anemic. So between insulin and iron, we've correct all the issues I was having before. <br /><br />Glucose tolerance test sometimes might not show the whole picture. The last one I did, seemed normal, and yet a few months later all my troubles started to happen. So if you're real concerned ask for a script for a meter so you can just, at least, start checking your sugars before/after you eat. That way you can get a feel for what your sugars are actually doing. OR they could test your A1-C ? I believe that's it. Anything about 5 is something to keep an eye on. Although, some diabetics land a 11-13 for their A1-C. Mine was only 7, and I still was put on a small amount of insulin. <br /><br />Hope this helps a little. Good luck!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421069406047937673noreply@blogger.com
