I have genetically inherited type 2 diabetes as has my brother. My daughter who has Hashimoto's thyroid disease, and whose glucose levels were raised during her last pregnancy with her daughter, who will be 3 in a couple of months. Having recently registered with a new doctor, she had blood tests. Her blood sugar came back at 6.9. A subsequent test came at 5.1 which is normal. We are unsure if the first result is just an anomaly or could indicate a predisposition for diabetes.
Brunneria, men's testosterone levels affect BG levels as well. I know it is good advice about testing but in today's austere society not everyone can just shell out £15 for a meter and £23 on strips, never mind lancets that cost me once £28 for a box of 200. Some diabetics are known to reuse lancets due to cost. Am kinda glad to now be on insulin and no cost involved as it should be for all type 2's.
The thread is open for anyone who has gone through the diagnostic tests for diabetes. I have had those and was trying to offer advice about that. Do not dictate thread terms with me, it was a fair answer to a fair question. The discussion between you and me is finished on this and this site's members are pre-diabetics or diabetics so I will contribute freely.The SD Codefree is available from Amazon, eBay and the manufacturers.
This thread isn't aimed at type two diabetics though - it is aimed at exChocoholic and his or her daughter. And since the daughter is not a diagnosed diabetic, she won't have a meter supplied to her - and would need to buy a meter to test her fasting, as I suggested.

Burning feet? That's a classic symptom of high blood sugar, although it can be caused by other things. I have that, along with reduced sensation in my feet, but my doctors all seem to think my blood glucose isn't high enough to have caused that, but I disagree. As I've lowered my blood sugar the burning sensation as slowly subsided.
