diabetes causing agitated depression???

Posted by Spriggy on March 20, 2005, at 11:02:50

Yeah, so I'm becoming a broken record, but nonetheless.. HUMOR ME.

They told me on Wednesday that I am a diabetic. Wich I find a bit odd considering they didn't have my test results back yet.

they monitored my blood sugar for 3 days and it would be between 65-270. I kind of fluctuated a lot more those three days than I have been here lately.

I've had chronic yeast infections since Thanksgiving (even thrush in my mouth!), lost weight (17 pounds total now since Christmas), burning feet (yeah I know that sounds weird!), and staying thirsty/peeing a lot.

My dad was diagnosed with type 2 at age 30. I'm close to that age so I suppose this could be an inherited thingy. I always thought he did it to himself because he drank 12 cans of coke a day (literally!).

I on the otherhand, have done all the "right" things. I run 3 miles a day, eat well, drink lots of water, yadda, yadday, yadda and yet here they are telling me I have it too.

I did the insulin test last week and I do the fasting 3 hour glucose (can anyone say PUKE?) test this week.

So they can't treat me just yet because dr. says, " Not sure which type you are."

My question is, how can he even know I AM a diabetic for certain. Can I be diagnosed just by monitoring my blood sugar levels for 3 days?

And if it is diabetes, could that NOT be the entire problem here with me with this anxiety/agitated/depressed state? Especially since my blood sugar can go up or down 100 points in one hour?

I suppose on one hand I would like to think this recent "wig out" event of mine had a physical component... then on the other hand, I sure don't want to have diabetes.

And then I wonder, if I am diabetic, and it's creating all these weird things in me (could it give you that weird head/floaty feeling?), then should I even take this Lamictal????

If diabetes is "THE" problem, is it possible I"m not BP 2 (since the diagnosis came at the same time?)?

Somebody please help this poor little confused blonde girl whose blood sugar right now is 162.

Thanks.
