[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1087158, member: 211504"] We see these posts pretty frequently: someone reads a bunch of symptoms online and convinces themselves they have diabetes. Now, you may or may not have a blood glucose disorder (diabetes, reactive hypoglycemia, etc), but like many before you, you've failed to mention the most important symptom: ACTUAL blood glucose readings that confirm hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. EVERYONE spikes after they eat carbs even people without diabetes. It's EXACTLY why you "carb load" before your workouts so you can have extra energy (glucose/glycogen) in your body to use. The difference for diabetics is that we are not able to manage that spike for one reason or another. Just like the other posters before me, I am not a doctor. However, many of the symptoms you mentioned also could be attributable to your drinking (and certainly smoking if you do that too). If you're worried and can't wait until you see the doctor, go buy a glucometer and test your blood sugar as others mentioned. Otherwise, quit scaring yourself and wait until your appointment.
