I think you know the answer to that - but it's still only a "might be" or a "chance" until a doctor says so.
But try not to worry too much because there's loads of help on here if the worst comes to the worst and you will find ways of controlling it so that you begin to feel better.
Let us know what happens - and welcome anyway!

- Lack of choice of insulin for newly diagnosed patients.
Dog owners who let their dogs poop in the street-a hazard for most, but worse if you're visually impaired!

Hi Suziain,
Your BG levels are undoubtedly high, and you must be feeling pretty ill with it.
As Dragongirl said, you've not beeen diagnosed, and there can occasionally be other reasons for temprary rise in BG levels in "normal" people.
Until you see your doctor for a definite diagnosis, be aware that it's not just sugary foods that will raise your BG(blood glucose) levels- you could try to minimise the amount of starchy carbohydrate foods like potatoes, rice,pasta & bread meanwhile. Also drink plenty of water,as high BG levels will cause your body to dehydrate.
We're all thinking of you, and wishing you the best, whatever the outcome.
