[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 973822, member: 43498"] For a formal diagnosis you need laboratory blood tests as these are more reliable than home blood glucose meters. A fasting blood glucose of more than 7.0, plus another of the same or a different type of blood test is what usually confirms the diagnosis. Your fatigue and sweating could be related to high BGs, or to other disorders. Are you on any medications? Regarding lipids, be sure to find out your triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol levels and not just the total cholesterol level. Then you have a basis for deciding what to do about them. If you get diagnosed with diabetes, you will probably find [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] 's newcomer info helpful. [/QUOTE]
