I recently started having blurry vision and went to my eye doctor. I had just had an eye exam in April, and she said that at age 24, such a significant Rx change was uncommon without an underlying health issue. She referred me to a MD for a diabetes test.
My appt isn't until Nov 23, so I've started checking my BS at home and logging it.
Yesterday was my first fasting test, and it was 135, which worried me. But 2 hours post-meal (dinner), it was 101 which I believe is fine. Today's fasting was 120 (better!). Obviously haven't done post-meal yet.
I do have a family history of diabetes, but no close relatives. Great aunts & uncles on both sides, a great-grandpa; my mom has hypoglycemia. However, I'm not having common symptoms such as polyurination or excessive thirst. I've been tired, having headaches, and blurry vision, but the first two aren't necessarily unusual for me.
So what do these numbers mean? I know two days doesn't determine a diagnosis, but should I be worried?
Thanks!
