the nurse from the docs offcie called and said i was pre-diabetes what dose that mean?

Question:

they took a blood test and told me this today and that more test had to be done, i did not think much of it at the time of the call because my kids was acting up but what did they mean by this?

Answers:
pre-diabetes means that you are showing symptoms of being a diabetic but they might need to run some more tests to be sure...they dont know for sure but they are giving you a heads up on the situation, so prepare yourself for the results if you are. Being a diabetic may be overwhelming at first....I know because I have been one since 2003...I got the dizzy spells and the hunger pains and the mood swings and the excessive thirst and if i didnt eat i have headaches. It means that your pancreas that is in charge of secreting insulin to break down your sugars that you eat needs some help. they can give you oral medication to help your pancreas secrete the insulin or you will have to inject some insulin into your body through a syringe. Just follow what your doctor wants you to do and it will be ok. As for your kids, you might want to explain to them that mommy is under alot of stress and they need to behave and listen to you because you are sick and you need their help. good luck...you will be fine just follow your doctors advice...

well you are either a diabetic or you are not thereis no inbetween. extra tests have to be done to make sure of this. one of those will be a fasting glucose test to see how your body breaks down sugar. soon you will know if you are hypoglycemic--which is low blood sugar............or hyperglycemic-----high blood sugar...either way both can be treated with diet and exercise and in extreme cases insulin --------hope i could help. tc always
