Diabetes Mellitus

Shannon asked:


My husband told me that he had a mild case of diabetes but that it was nothing to worry about. Today when I looked in the fridge I saw some of those little insulin bottles. Was he lying to me? Does diabetes need to be severe to need insulin?

After looking up diabetes, I think I have several of the symptoms, but I don’t think I have excessive thirst or excessive urination. Does this mean that I probably don’t have diabetes?

Alice asked:


My daddy is a borderline diabetic, which means he doesn’t exactly quite have diabetes but is in the risk of getting it. We’ve already tried to make him eat less sugar to keep from getting it, but he always wants what he can’t have. Is it okay if he eats natural sugar in fruits?

I have had several tests to check for diabetes and my first one was in the 70’s so it was normal. The second one was normal too. The third was high at 168 and the third was pre-diabetes of 100 and something. So how will I know if I have diabetes or not?
