[quote=Anonymous]To clarify, you may not have T1D, but it IS really important to actually get bloodwork done to rule it out. I’m not a doctor (and not a scientist) so i don’t know what else might cause an elevating fasting blood sugar, but it’s definitely abnormal, particularly at your age.

My guess would be that all the posters saying you have anxiety or that diabetics have “much higher numbers than low 100s” don’t actually know much about type 1 diabetes.

I’d suggest that you follow the advice of the two people on here WHO HAVE DIABETIC CHILDREN and ignore the rest. You need a diagnosis and hopefully you’ll be able to rule out T1D.

And to the poster doling out erroneous medical information, yes, diabetics CAN have blood sugars in the low 100s. Logically, if there are people diagnosed in their teens and 20s and even sometimes in their 60s and 70s, how do you think that is happening?  Do you think they wake up on Monday with a fasting blood sugar of 98 and then Tuesday it’s 600?  It’s a progression and there ARE delaying treatments available if you catch it early.

So what I am telling you is that an untreated insulin dependent diabetic will have blood sugars rapidly climbing into the 400++ territory, an early stage diabetic might frequently wake around 115-130 every day.  That is the stage that one of my children is in currently. [/quote]
