what is the difference between pre diabetes and borderline?

08 Jun

I was told 2 months ago I was pre diabetic as I had a non-fasting glucose test of only 57,then a fasting of 104. Since then I had another fasting level done,last week, it came back 121…that is 17 points higher than 2 months ago. My Doctor was suppose to call me last week,never did. I called 2 more times about getting testing supplies and has not called. This is at a clinic. I was tracking my BS levels for 2 months,they have increased in both morning fasting levels, 116-167, and,in 2 hour post meals they go up in the higher 190’s, at times over 200. I was told by the Doctor before this fasting of 121 that it looked like I was borderline,insulin resistance. He also said that I would need the fasting test in order for insurance to pay for testing supplies. I have an appt. in a month,I think he is waiting until then. I have diabetic symptoms also. I have to say this,one night was very scary for me,I had a small bag of M&M’s about 10pm, I woke up at 12:30am sweaty,feeling sick so I took my BS level, the alarm on meter went of flashing “215″ and the word ketone. I showed him this also. I am wondering if I am a diabetic type 2. My BS levels are so up & down it drives me crazy. I also had very high cholesterol level of 315,lipids high. I am on Zocor for that. Is there any such thing as borderline?? In my opinion you are either diabetic or not,even if it is the beginning of diabetes type 2. I am just so frustrated about this whole thing. I was told about 5 yrs. ago that I was borderline. I am 52 yrs. old (woman).

Thank you for your help & input.
wow! nothing like trying to make someone look like an idiot! which I am not by the way.

thank you for your input.
I was wrong, the BS level that set alarm off that night was “253″,not “215″…my mistake.

Thank you
Thank you Kitty,I learned a lot from your answer.

What’s the difference between type 1and type 2 diabetes ? ?

06 Jun

In type 1, the body\’s unable to produce any insulin. This usually starts in childhood or young adulthood. It\’s treated with diet control and insulin injections.

In type 2, not enough insulin is produced or the insulin that is made by the body doesn\’t work properly. This tends to affect people as they get older, and usually appears after the age of 40.

Anything more you want to add

Is there a relationship between smoking & diabetes?

06 Jun

About 9 years ago I had stopped smoking for a few months. It was right after this event I I was diagnosed with diabetes. I had a very hard time managing my diabetes for some time.

With the stress of caused by the diabetes, and the passing of a loved one I went back to smoking. The management of my glucose became very easy.

This last week I stopped smoking again, and now my glucose is all over the place. And what’s worse is my symptoms have more than doubled. (mostly frequent urination)

Is it just stress or is there more to this? Has any research been done that may make a connection?

I have an appointment with my doc. in a few days…..

How many non-diabetics know and understand the difference between Type I and Type II diabetes?

03 Jun

If you think you do, give me a quick one to two sentence explanation. I do, since my son is Type I, but I’m really curious if others do. There is much confusion between the two.
so far none of the first three answers is a good answer. More and more children are being diagnosed with T II and even some adults (late 20s) are diagnosed with T I.

Come on, guys! Give me a better answer.
