I have just got out of a 5 day stay in hospital for a planned investigation of a 72 hour fast which was the most terrifying experience of my life and then a glucose tolerance test at the end of the stay. The 72 hour fast I got down to 1.9 and colapsed but on the lab test came back as 4.9 (crazy difference) . 2 hours after the glucose test I was 15.9.
The dr then demanded a urine test and ketones test which I think was 1.0. He then ran from clinic to meet with me and gave me the terrifying news I was diabetic and needed a blood test before I left to determine what type I was as I fit both categories. I'm now trying to carry on anxiously at work and in general feeling like I could do anything wrong whilst I wait for an answer, treatment and education. Any help?
