Advice about diabetes?? Not asking for diagnosis?

Okay well I have had most of the symptoms for T1 diabetes but I was just thinking recently. Today I ate a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles and chocolate. If I was diabetic wouldn't my sugar have sky rocketed and I would've like died or something? Is there any chance I am still diabetic?? Thanks so much and have a very Merry Christmas!!Advice about diabetes?? Not asking for diagnosis?
Even type one diabetes can take some time before the islets completely stop producing insulin, so your sugar wouldn't necessarily have ';sky rocketed';. Chances are, you're fine, though. I like to say, ';when it doubt, check it out';. A blood test is simple and is little more than a pin prick.Advice about diabetes?? Not asking for diagnosis?
If you were diabetic, your sugar would have sky rocketed, but that doesn't mean you would have died :) Chances are, unless you are in the extreme phase of being undiagnosed, you would have just gotten really tired and sleepy, a possible massive headache, and you'd be really thirsty and have to pee alot. Diabetes just doesn't go away, andif you're worried, you should definitely go see your doctor! Type 1 is more serious than type 2 becuase it requires insulin. If you don't want to go see a doctor, you can buy an A1c kit from wal-mart and test yourself, although they aren't really reliable. They're about 10 dollars, and you just mail it in when you fill the circles with blood. You can also go out and buy a cheap glucose meter to test your blood sugar. The cheaper ones are about ten dollars, as are a box of strips. The best advice, though, is to go see your doctor! I wish you the best of luck, and Merry Christmas!!
