I am 24 years old. I was diagnosed 4 months ago with diabetes. I am currently trying to control my levels with Glucophage, Avandia, and Actos. I have had two miscarriages and one premature birth. Could these problems have been caused by undiagnosed diabetes? Do Glucophage, Avandia, and Actos increase fertility?

Last year I tested positive for Islet Cell Antibodies. I had the IVGTT and was told that it was fine. From time to time, I check my blood sugar with my daughter’s meter. Lately, my readings have been in the 140 ml/dl [7.8 mmol/l] range about two hours after eating. Could this be the beginning of type 1 for me?

I recently saw a movie in which a woman was trying to lose weight by taking insulin injections. Can insulin actually cause you to gain or lose weight? Does it just depend upon the food you eat?

I am 20 years old and ever since I was young, I have always loved candy and sugar. In the last few years, tt seems that if I don’t eat food at specific times of the day, I feel really tired and faint to the point where I feel like I am going to pass out. I have also been urinating a lot lately and been really tired. Am I at risk for diabetes?
