  1. Frank - Those blood glucose readings are perfectly normal.

    You do not have diabetes. You have an anxiety disorder. You are what doctors call "the worried well".

    See your doctor if you have other symptoms.

  2. ☮Sweeter ツ - Make sure your hands are clean to get an accurate reading, also waste the first drop of blood, blot off with a papertowel, then use the second drop...

    Also, symptoms of diabetes:
    polyphagia - excessive hunger
    polyuria - excessive urination
    polydipsia - excessive thirst


    Signs of hyperglycemia:
    warm dry skin
    dry mouth
    thirsty


    Signs of hypoglycemia:
    cold clammy and sweaty skin
    pallor
    shakiness
    dizziness
    difficulty concentrating
    fast pulse

    Get an Hb1Ac done to have an accurate reading for the last 3 months.

  3. Rick - Your numbers are fine. If you're concerned, go see your Dr. They'll do a blood work-up on you, and a urinalysis to check for ketones. Most likely you don't have diabetes, but the Dr's exam can reassure you.
