Hi Spriggy, I don't mean to highjack your thread here but I have a question for anyone who can answer it.
I have had a feeling that I am diabetic. I have some symptoms like a constant yeast infection and craving for sweets and drinking a lot of water (not much peeing).
So I told this to a friend of mine who is a nurse and she said that they would have noticed something when I had my glucose test as part of a regular lab work up? IS THIS TRUE?
My endocrinologist ( I see him for hypothyroidism) ask me if diabetes runs in my family but I don't know because I was adopted.
So when I see him next month should I mention it? I feel like such a hypochondriac. I feel like my hypothyroidism isn't under control even through I take Synthroid and my tests come back alright. However I don't think he is measuring all the right things (like my free T3).
Anyhow. If I was diabetic would it have shown up in a routine FASTING glucose test?
