I had a blood test done 3 weeks ago and
the results came back saying that one of
my blood levels was elevated and to come
back in 1 month for another test. I was
also told that after the birth of my child
last year, I am at increased risk of
developing diabetes, since I had
gestational diabetes in the pregnancy.
Since the blood test, I have been
unusually tired and cranky, been
excessively hungry and thirsty, urinating
frequently, and just generally feeling
very weak. Are these signs I could have
diabetes? :(

Hello,
three symptoms that people get with
diabetes is called polyuria, polyphagia,
and polydipsia. This means excessive
urination, thirst, and hunger. It is true
that you are at an increased risk for
developing diabetes but just remember that
it can be controlled by following a
nutrition plan and checking your glucose
level several times a day. Not to worry
:)
