Can it be diabetes
Hello Doctor, I am a 30-year-old male. My mother has diabetes, and I am concerned about my own risk. For approximately 8 years, I drank tea 8–10 times a day because I was experiencing depression. I often drank tea immediately after waking up on an empty stomach. For the last 3 years, I have been experiencing the following symptoms: Dry skin Unintentional weight and muscle loss Fatigue Brain fog Headaches upon waking up No morning erections Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) My random blood sugar levels before and after meals and my HbA1c are normal. I have the following questions: Can I still have diabetes despite normal blood sugar and HbA1c results? Could I have insulin resistance or prediabetes? Could drinking tea 8–10 times daily for 8 years have contributed to my symptoms? Could tinnitus be related to any of these symptoms? Which investigations should I undergo to identify the cause of my symptoms? I would appreciate your advice on the most appropriate tests. Thank
17 weeks pregnant with diabetes
I am 17 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with diabetes by OGTT at around 2 months of pregnancy. My fasting sugars are consistently <95 mg/dL, but sometimes my post-meal values are high (highest 178 mg/dL). Initially, I managed it with diet, but my endocrinologist started NovoRapid due to occasional high 1-hour post-meal readings. I currently take 4 units before breakfast, 9 units before lunch, and 9 units before dinner, and I am not taking any oral diabetes medications. I’ve noticed that my home glucometer readings are often 15–20 mg/dL higher than laboratory results, and I sometimes experience symptoms suggestive of low blood sugar. Could this glucometer difference affect insulin dosing? Is it normal for NovoRapid requirements to increase as pregnancy progresses?
