The doctor said your blood sugar was slightly elevated and put you on a diabetes diet but never said either way if you were a diabetic or not should you be concerned?

You are obviously worried and you do not understand why the doctor has put you on a diet.
You need to go back to the doctor and tell him/her that you do not understand your treatment and ask him/her to explain it to you. If you feel you will not be able to remember what the doctor says, ask the doctor if you can take a family member or friend in with you to hear the explanation. It may also help to write down the questions you want answered as a numbered list and give this to the doctor, this way you will get all the points covered.
It is very common to be overwhelmed when visiting a doctor so do not feel embarrassed about going back and asking this. It will probably also be time to have another blood sugar level test to see if the diet is working!

If a woman develops diabetes only while pregnant having it go away after giving birth what are the chances of type one diabetes in the child?
Gestational diabetes is not hereditary in that sense. If you have a daughter then she would have a slightly increased chance of developing gestational diabetes when she has a baby. Answer I developed gestational diabetes while pregnant w/ my now 15 yr old son.It went into" hiding" only to return again in my 2nd pregnancy with my now 11yr old son.Then again it went so called "AWAY" only to return a year after his birth. I have now been a type 1 diabetic for 11yrs...... gestational diabetes is a" warning sign" that within the next 10 yrs you are likely to become a diabetic.Great attention must be taken to your diet NOW if you want to try and prevent yourself from becoming permanently diabetic in the future. As for your daughter becoming a diabetic, they claim that if one or more immediate parents have diabetes your risk factor is high. I have both my son's Hemoglobin A1C and fasting blood sugar levels checked routinely, yearly through their blood work as a precaution hope this helps.........
How can a diabetic get home morgage insurance?
I assume that you are talking about life insurance to cover your mortgage if you die. Life insurance is issued all the time for people with diabetes. Depending on the type and severity of your diabetes, an insurance company will most likely offer you a policy with a slightly or greatly increased premium. Talk with an independent insurance agent in your area, be truthful with them and they can find the best company for you and your situation.

Wrong action to eliminate Metformine, it is for anti-diabetic usage (guess you are diabetic). Gallstones produce a lot of symptoms especially sharp - strong pain under the right rib arch with probable diffusion to right shoulder if they move or got infected (even temperature or vomiting). Gallstones may be removed surgically (endoscopic way). You may check even for Hepatitis A, B & C for the "slightly elevated alt(88)." mentioned above.
Is type 2 diabetes also known as pre-diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is not the same thing as pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, or borderline diabetes, is a condition where the body either slows down insulin production or cannot correctly utilize insulin. Blood sugars are slightly elevated at times without taking any oral medication. This is usually associated with obesity and can usually be corrected with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can become type 2 diabetes, which is basically a more severe form of pre-diabetes. With type 2, high blood sugars are usually treated with oral medication, or insulin injections if necessary. Your body does not produce enough insulin, nor does it use it correctly. This differs from type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all.
My husband is anemic and had a blood test .They notified us that his potassium level was 5.5. His Cardiologist was not concerned. Were we right in accepting his opinion?
The upper normal limit is 5.0, so it is only slightly elevated. However, it can lead to muscle weakness and cardiac arrhytmias which can be fatal. At the very least it should be rechecked soon.
