Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

My doctor’s office only did the one hour test and said I have gestational diabetes. Since I’ve been testing myself for a couple of days (four times a day) my average is in the 90’s. Do you think it was really fair to diagnose me without giving me the 3 hour test and what can I do about it? I don’t think I have it but they seem to think that one test is enough.

I want to make this old man something good for Christmas I know he likes pizza and cookies any ideas for somebody with really bad induced by drugs diabetes?Please help Thanks

I had to study diabetes in a research project for a Health Science Technology class, and as I looked at the symptoms – I realized I had many of them.
It also said theres millions of Americans who have it, and many more who don’t even know. So my question is, is there really one factor that really tells if you have it without visiting a doctor? I’m planning on making an appointment just to make sure, but I was wondering if there are any simple checks or major symptoms that define diabetes.
I eat healthy, exercise, and I’m active yet I still have major symptoms that they said define diabetics. I don’t get it – but I guess it can happen to anyone.
My eyes have been getting blurry lately, frequent urination, thirst isn’t that much different.. but it’s more than before, and if I get cuts or sores they are so slow healing it’s insane. So, before I see my doctor are there any diabetics out there that can pretty much tell me if they think its a yes or no?
Also, can you get rid of it? Or is it a lifelong disease that you have to battle because honestly I’ve met diabetics and all the things and medications you have to use – I don’t think I could handle it.
Thanks in advance!
