generally your doctor has you go in for a simple blood test at the lab to check your fasting blood sugar level. If it is abnormal sometimes they require other tests to be ordered and a glucose tolerance test.

Question by Josh: What if your not diabetic what happens if none diabetic gets insulin injection?
what happens if none diabetic gets insulin injection? and its to much just and takes it really low would this happen the same as in a diabetic?

Answer by cluekoo
Insulin’s job is to decrease blood sugar levels by absorbing and storing the sugar as various forms of energy (ie. fat). Diabetics who take insulin have some form of insulin deficiency in their body. A non-diabetic who takes insulin would result in having too much insulin, so their blood sugar will drop. Blood sugar levels must be maintained at a fairly constant level for appropriate body function, and if it drops too low, it can induce seizures or coma.

Question by Oranges Boranges: What happens if someone with bad diabetes refuses to amputate a dead foot?

Question by the_creative_dancer: What happens when someone has diabetes and they drink?
I have a friend that drinks alcohol (not the hard stuff) but he has diabetes. I don’t know what to do because I’m really close to this friend. He always reacts the worst to me out of everyone only when he drinks. I just need some help on how to deal with him and what happens to him with it? Plus how can I get him to stop drinking. Oh I should add that he drinks a 12 pack of Natural Light.

Answer by Jimmy Changa
Alcohol has the ability to both increase and decrease blood sugars. In regards to the former, this is because of the high sugar content of alcoholic drinks. With respect to the latter, alcohol chronically can impair the bodies store of sugar, and is often a substitute for real food. Moreover, it can impair ones ability to recognise low blood sugars. However, in a well controlled diabetic, alcohol is not contraindicated, and should be enjoyed with the above provisos.

Answer by teddybear
Diabetes during pregnancy is called gestational diabetes. It usually goes away after you have the baby.

I don’t know why the babies head would be large. I had gestational diabetes and neither one of my children had large heads. Hope that this answer helps you.

Diabetes runs in my family and I’m probably going to get it any time now. My job gives annual physicals and if I’m found to have diabetes, I’ll be fired. Would eating before a blood test stabilize my sugar level if I get it, or just mess everything up?
