Hello, I have not been diagnosed as being diabetic as of yet. However, I am the 71 year old man child of a African American mother who struggled with that malady for quite a number of years before succumbing to it’s effects.

Thank you Eddie for your comments. My BS is high in the a.m.and then pretty good unless I am really bad. Like you, I have none of the listed complications and I was diagnosed 8 years ago.I have never seen an endocrinologist, but some one who worked for one said that her boss felt BS numbers were somewhat unique to individuals. I take supplements, try to eat well and exercise. I know if I start feeling shaky and check my number it may be as high as 105, but I feel weird. I have been hypoglycemic since I was a kid as was my older sister. She has great BS, but does not take care of herself as well as I do. She does have glaucoma, restless legs and A-fib.
Susan, there is a site called Forbidden Doctor.com. You fill out a questionnaire (very long) and you can actually schedule a free consult with a nutritionist. I did it a while back and may again. It is run by a chiropractor and his wife and they REALLY know their nutrition. Please try it.

In reply to Maggie Maher. Have you looked into MCAS - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? When some people have lots of different health problems, it could be this.

Dear Catherine,
As a diabetes 2 parient, i am quite surprised by the frightful description you offered. One thing for sure, diabetes is no joking matter. Having high glucose blood circulating in your body, visiting every organ, can lead to failure of your kidneys, plaque in your arteries, fatty liver, neuropathies which could lead to amputations and more. So, you have to take care your diabeties.
All that said, in my 16 years with the illness, sometimes not well controlled, i never had any symptoms of diabetes except the high blood
sugar. During this long period i qas never told to keep my vasal sugar
On or about 70. That would put me to close to a hypoglycemic state, and that is one of the dangers of being diabetic. More often than not doctora ask that I keep away from below 100-110 and even prefer I keep close to 130. Mind you, my current Board certified endocrinologist is considered
one of the best in South Florida. I perceive that your, and doctors believe is best to scare you about the effect of diabetes ran amok. But in doing so
You could also be causing more harm than good.

I know I’m prediabetic. I tick every box. Even though they tell me I’m not. I’m hypothyroidism, they never retest or keep eye on it for last thirty years, high blood pressure , high triglycerides, high cholesterol, sjogrens wias told me but now
They renege on ever telling me that. Say I have connective tissue disorder, rheumatoid arthritis- they took that back, for two years they said I have sarcoidosis because of X-ray that came back- saw a diagnostician and he said how many years did it
Take them to tell you, twenty, futures he said, said mybadrenals are fried, ant out me on prednisone, after being on major dose took over a year to gradually come off, then placed on Plaquinil- almost lost my eyesight, saw Opthalmologist every four months, said every thing ok but I have blurred vision, and I saw drastic deterioration and made the call to discontinue Plaquinil, it really helped being on prednisone and because I missed an appt with rheumatologist and wouldn’t let me come back. There was an eighteen month period between appts and my short term and long term memory is very diminished and who cares? Lyrica really helped and on low dose opioids kept me still debilitating pain but with major bed rest and heat and ice packs I’m pretty well do not a quality of life. All of London Ontario doctors have directives to not give any narcotics and dumped us to only people who will help us. Cannabis. Can’t tolerate THC and CBD does nothing. Like an aspirin. But I will try for a month cause I’m desperate. I should be alcoholic or drug user but I’m not. Have special needs daughter that
Gets bare bones of care which she deserves more! I’m only able to be up for ten minutes major back pain at lower back kidney lobes. I’m falling all the time and everything is a trying time. Major chronic fatigue. I’m exhausted just writing this!
What a news’s., on BP pills, statins, Coverysl, Rosuvastatin, Bisopropolol, synthroid, Lyrica , CBD, imovane I read everything voraciously and I have an holistic doctor who’s trying to save her Govt money, doesn’t order tests, I need two knees replacements, but have no help for special mental help needs child, plus only living on $12;000 per year. Everything hurts to do so I’m very selective on what gets done.. no family that’s the problem. Thanks for your kindness and bending ear. Self isolating vpbeen in since xmas anyway Take darev
