Diagnosis question

Hello CG:

Do you have Diabetes in your Family? I would be concerned with the thirst and frequent urination also while being on Met. Did your Dr. not make another appointment for you to have another Fasting Blood Glucose test(FBG)? Normally, 2 FBG tests are done on 2 different days to give the proper results.

I agree with John and Ruby. Call your Dr. for another appointment and also ask to be tested again. Sometimes Drs. forget what drugs each Patient is on. Sometimes Secretaries can be busy and a bit rude but they are supposed to be there to help you. Let us know how it goes.

Fasting Blood Glucose

-From 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L)--Normal fasting glucose
-From 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L)--Impaired fasting glucose (pre-diabetes)
-126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) and above on more than one testing occasion--Diabetes
