my blood sugar has been fluxuating like wild over the last few hours, i keep getting low and i can't seem to regulate myself. i'll eat something, feel okay for about 10 minutes or so then i feel like i'm dropping again. i don't get it.

if so, have you been keeping up with your insulin/other meds?

See your doctor as soon as poss. If you find docs difficult to talk to, make a small list and take it. If you're shy, take a friend.

Your doc may ask you to give a urine test. You'll pee a little into a small plastic bottle. He or one of his nurses will do a simple test. Another test is for blood glucose levels. Follow your doc's advice for this. It's just a simple blood test, that's all.

Recently I'd gotten the beginnings of Type 2 diabetes. Mummy had it, so I knew at some time I'd get it. I'm 18 now, and have a regulated daily dose of insulin + a restricted, sugar-free diet.

Doctors are there to help you. But first, tell your parents, let them know as your health is important to them.
