I guess Im pre diabetic, at this point. My fasting bs was 102, and my 2 hr insulin was too low at 24.

I can tell you from my own experience that careful selection of fruits and vegetables can play a vital role in ones health. Email me at seabulls69@yahoo.com and maybe we can figure out what's going on... Craig

If you are diagnosed as a diabetic it will give you more freedom as to when youcan eat and you don't have to eat at the same time EVERYDAY! It has helped me through out the 20 years I've been on it get better control and give birth to my 2 girls who are now 19 and 17! My 19 yearold is on the pump too and the mother of that lovely little girl there and fixing to have another daughter in April! If your Dr says get it GET IT!

If they are too low causing your sugar to go high, then yes that would be a problem. The do whats called an A1c to find out your average blood sugar over the past few months. I don't like a normal life at all. This stuff has drove me crazy really. Other people maintain and function well. I use to try to control my sugars with no luck at all. Periods of not having health insurance never assisted in my ability to manage glucose levels either,haha. Oh well though, worrying about it won't help much so I try not to anymore. Diabetes is a conditional disease, even stress can affect it. We all live under certain conditions which are not equal to one another, which also has a role in management. How old are you? 25? (wink) I hear the older you get the less likely you are to get type 1. I know plenty of type 2 who get wonderful control with diet and exercise. It is almost a completely different disease, really. Just defined by a different number.

If you are hypoglycemic your body over compensates with a little too much insulin, making your blood sugar go lower than normal. So eating "quick" acting carbohydrates, such as orange juice, soda, hard candy or anything with high carbohydrate levels like candy and ice cream can cause your body to malfunction because it gets a wave of sugar blasting your system and your body's insulin level spikes as well, usually a little too much. Protein converts to sugar very slow. So, insulin makes glucose levels go down, lack of insulin makes them go up. A balance makes you feel well. Hypoglycemic people pretty much spike harder than usual. And I am young, compared to the Earth. :)

At 6:42pm on December 14th, 2007, Lawrence said…: ha, I wish I was still young. 29 now and getting older by the minute. Yeah I got type 1 when I was 16, on my birthday actualy. Are you hypo? Is that what the Dr tells you? I read an article by a Dr once that "pre-diabetic" is not really true. Although I know I was hypo before getting the disease. My brother is as well but he never became diabetic, same with my mom. You can control that stage pretty well and feel decent. A fasting blood sugar of 102 is nothing to worry about. Not sure if I misread your article, but if your doctors are putting you on insulin with fasting results like that then they are crazy. Unless they did a more extensive lab and found you to be running high. Love the photos by the way.
