I don’t mind following the diet or checking my blood sugar, but I hate to be classified with gestational diabetes because the medical interventions surrounding my pregnancy and birth go way up. Can I argue with the results of my three-hour glucose test and request a retest? What is the accuracy of the glucose test?

My five year old nephew is severely overweight has always been a big boy, but I also noticed that he drinks a lot of water and asks for it about every half an hour. I have mentioned his weight to my sister, his mom, but she says that since they don’t have insurance, they haven’t seen a doctor. Could he have some type of diabetes? Are there any over-the-counter aids to help us determine this?

My friend who has diabetes frequently eats foods that I think are inappropriate, and when I remind her she isn’t supposed to have sugar, she says her blood sugar levels are normal. She is having arterial bypass surgery in her legs, and I can’t help but think that all that sugar may have contributed to her problem. Am I right?

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last spring, and we decided I would try to treat it with diet and exercise, but I have been very slack and hardly exercised so I have gained weight (about 10 pounds) instead. I eat everything and don’t test my blood or anything. If I don’t take care of my diabetes, how soon could I start experiencing symptoms or complications?
