In fact, the entire battery of tests (thryoid, liver, kidney functions) were great. He gave me a test kit and 3 wks of blood tests average 110 (152 highest after eating ice cream/88 lowest). Yet, glucose urine test strips still occasionally show sugar in urine. I started out with some suspected diabetic symptoms (dry mouth/thirst/frequent urination) but they went away after one week. I’m schedule for a Glucose Tolerance Test this week. I am a 44/F 135lbs non-smoking, very healthy diet, etc.. Any ideas what’s up?
I don’t eat sweets (I ate ice cream last week which I do once a month if that), no candy/cookies, no soda pop but I do like carbs. However, ever since sugar starting showing up I’ve cut back on breads, starches, etc. Still sugar in urine.

I was thirsty all the time and I had sugar in my urine at the time that my doctor labeled me a diabetic. I immediately freaked and watched my diet, lost weight and my A1C went into the 5 range within a 6 month period. I have never had the glucose tolerance 2 hour test or any other test to prove that I am truly a diabetic. I just believed my doctor years ago until recently when I was reading getting more educated about diabetes. I am wondering if I am not truly a diabetic, but possibly a prediabetic. I recently started seeing a new doctor and I told him I really am not convinced that I am a diabetic. He offered for me to have the 2 hour test if I wanted to have it. Do you think that is a good idea to finally put my mind at ease? Am I really a diabetic. After all these years, could the diagnosis been wrong? I take my blood test many times, and watch carefully the kinds of things I eat and rarely is my blood sugar above 120 after 2 hours of eating.

I have a lot of symptoms of being diabetic, yet the major one-being thirsty all the time- doesn’t fit me.
