I get my eyes checked every year and so far have remained 20/15 but now that this has come up I'm sure they'll want to do more tests like you mentioned.

The nurse made mention of the A1C test so now I just have to contact my general practitioner and let her know what's going on (since this has only been done through my OB thus far).

Thanks everyone for all of the advice.

 

And again, something I forgot to mention. Read the labels on food products. You would be surprised in what does and doesn't have a lot of sugars or carbs. Don't worry about sugar alcohols, they do not affect your blood sugar at all like sugar. They do have an affect in your metabolism if you have too much, which I won't mention here. Do a search.
Another substitute for sugar, which does affect your blood sugar, but not near as much as sugar is fructose. You can buy it in granulated form just like sugar. It isn't cheap though, so I only use it in a few things.

 

Ill add my 2 cents for whatever it's worth. I have friends and relatives both young and old that are diabetics. If you find it in it's early stages it is very treatable and you will live a normal life. My father-in-law was diagnosed with it about 15 or 20 years ago and did nothing until the disease did it's damage on the rest of his body. Now he checks his sugar several times a day and takes shots daily. He hates it. But he never listened to his doctors. All the others we know are doing well and leading normal lives. You wouldn't even know they are diabetics. Of all the illnesses to affect our friends, diabetes is the number one disease.

So keep your appointments and listen to your doctor. If he recommends a diet, follow it. If he gives you a prescription, take the pills.
