Diabetes symptoms?

Hello, I am 39 years old and I am currently not diagnosed as a diabetic, but I need to expose my case because I live abroad and here apparently they are going quite slow to give me results and I do not know if they will look at everything as it should, soSomeone could tell me if my symptoms could be compatible with diabetes and/or what to do until a diagnosis here could be eternally grateful.

In recent years I have had some somewhat high sugar in the analysis (although my diet in general has always been healthy, almost as carbohydrates except supposedly "light" juices that I left a few months ago, which I do not know if they have notIt could cause some problem), I exercise more or less regularly and I have a good physical resistance, but my work as it happens on so many occasions is currently extremely sedentary, having to be hours and hours at rest in front of the computer, soIn turn, I also have some overweight, although doctors are also checking if I can have a hormonal problem that explains it.

In that context, approximately one week ago I began to notice some palpitations of the heart (the heart beating something stronger, without being excessively strong but yes annoying enough when they are perceived more at rest and the heart rate is at least in optimal values ​​in optimal valuesof about 60-70 pulsations per minute) and at approximately two days during the night he gave me a kind of "downturn", with a strong dizziness, sweating and sensation of fainting at any time (I did not feel any pain or pressure in the heart orNor an acceleration of the heart rate, apart from the pulsations).I took a cereal bar and a few minutes later I began to feel better (although I have no idea if the bar was what made me feel better because of a possible diabetes problem or if in reality the problem is another), I went to the hospitalAnd there I was measured by glucose with the microcort on my finger and the result was 135 (about 10-15 minutes after eating my bar), while a few minutes later they took blood from the arm for an analytical arm and there came 121. I was 121. I was 121. IThey made electrocardiogram, radiography and blood analysis and everything was within normality, except for high cholesterol (in 199), but talking to doctors here and also with a cardiologist from Spain it seems that this has not caused any problem or problemthat I have anything in the heart system (although these days are doing more tests to have a more general vision).

The issue is that the doctors here said that those levels of 135 and 121 "were within normality" and that it did not seem that it was a sugar problem, but that they would do me with 24h urine anyway to see everythingBetter, but the problem is that apparently those results will not transmit them to me in 2 weeks and I continue to feel palpitations and occasionally dizziness (without knowing perhaps if I could have another "downturn" again).

I am doing in my house urine collection of 24h different days and what I have noticed is that my urine (at least to me) smells like somewhat sweet milk (I feel if the similarity is not very good, but clearly I notice a certainSweet tone as if I smelled it by closing my eyes and thought that is something sweet, not urine) and, of course, I am made a mess because perhaps I am at that point where a diabetic is super uncontrolled and the results apparentlyI will not know them in 2 weeks and I don't even know if this could be dangerous.

Would you have, please, an opinion or advice?What could do to at least try to avoid a "downturn" again if it is a diabetes problem?Or would you need if that is the problem injecting insulin or pills to start feeling good?

PD: I have a family history of diabetes, the closest my father who had type II diagnosed and as an adult more or less at my age (although I have the occasional relative with type II diabetes and also type I).

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Rubén

So you do not seem to be diabetes, not even pre -preiabetes precursor type 2, in that case after that bar you would have to be above 160, and it was not so.

Palpitations may be due to many reasons:

- Decompensation problems in blood pressure

- Some atrial arrhythmia (I don't think ventricular): extrasistles, fibrillation that has not been "hunted" in the hospital, for this it would be necessary to make you a 24h Holter

-Problems in the venous return that manifest with dizziness (orthostatic pressure)

- Even sometimes vértigo or migraine problems can cause that feeling of fading.

- On a rare occasion a panic attack can cause fading sensation

I think you should be calm, I do not think that DM is anything, and perhaps somewhat less than I indicate above, but knowing it for sure requires evidence, and this is therefore speculative.

I recommend that you exercise light (calisthenia) and go see, to see how you answer, and what you notice comfort the specialist.

All the best

Hello, thank you very much for your answer.I am currently doing the Holter for 72h and in about 15h I have to return to the hospital to return it.In the hospital, at 20 minutes or thus having that downturn they made me an electrocardiogram and it was perfect and in the blood tests all well except cholesterol to 199 (I suppose it is bad cholesterol).

A few minutes ago I have worried a little because, although I am not sure since I do not know if I am measuring the pulsations well, I have been noticing something dizzy and accelerated, the Holter has been emitting a flashing orange light (and now I also alsoHe is doing, although now I feel calm) and I have measured the blood pressure with a tensiometer and the pressure reading has gone well but the pulsations marked 100, although I put my hand in the abdomen for example and counting one by one thePulses in a minute I have about 70 (the pulsations in the hospital when he gave me the downturn were typically between 60 and 70).

At one point a few minutes ago I have got something nervous and I had the feeling that the heart was beating somewhat faster suddenly (while the device blinked in orange) and I have half dizzy (but I have been feeling a general dizziness for days,which have told me the doctors who have no problem).At the minute or so it happened to me and at any time I have felt any pain, pressure, or things like that (I do not get tired when making efforts or I have a lack of air, until a couple of days ago I was running because I do not want to letto do sports and in that sense everything good but now with the Holter does not run).I have been noticing that small acceleration as 10 minutes and suddenly an acceleration somewhat larger like 30 seconds or 1 minute and after sudden I have felt perfect, right now I don't even have any dizziness.

Please, although I already suppose it can be quite difficult to have some opinion about the subject here, could you tell me if this seems clear that it is a heart problem or what can be happening?Do you know if the flashing orange light indicates that something is not going well in the heart or is it simply that the battery can be exhausted?I have read on the Internet that on many devices what it means is simply that the battery is running out or something, but I have no idea if it can indicate something else (right now still flashes but I precisely now I feel perfectly, it is all veryqueer).The Holter name seems to be Mobicare Cardio MC200M and I have seen instructions on p.19 of this link (which I am understanding that it says that when it flashes in orange it means that it is perhaps badly adjusted and has not detected anything, what a bad luck of truth):

PD: In the hospital it seems to me that the results of the Holter will not also have them within a few days, so I also ask here.

Greetings and thank you very much, really.

@Ruben: Try to be patient and to reassure you, I suggest you don't look for information online because you're going to get sick early.

Doctors will give you a diagnosis when they have the result of the tests they are doing.

It seems nothing related to diabetes, nor ischemias, endocrinomethabolic decompensations or coronary heart disease.Sometimes there are cases of tachycardia and strong beats with hyperthyroidism, in those cases other symptoms are problems sleeping, weight loss, sweating more than normal and even tremor in upper extremities, among others.

As says @ricki21 awaits the results of the tests and do not look online.It is useless.

Thank you very much for your answers.What happens is that I am in a country abroad (I do not speak the language here) and I sincerely find myself quite "incommunicado" in relation to this issue, in addition to it seems that 1) the results of urine tests24h (where I imagine that they will see sugar, hormones, etc.) they will not tell me about 2 weeks and those of the Holter are possibly at least 2 days or even more and 2) here nobody informs me absolutely anythingIf what I feel could be something serious or if it could actually be anything.These things are known in cardiology and if for example I ask whether to feel punctures when breathing can be generalSomething serious, so the only thing I am asking is a bit of standard information in relation to symptoms like the ones I said, I just ask that, please.

My biggest doubt right now is, within the context in which I am (for days with the feeling that the heart beats something stronger, widespread dizziness during the day and about three days ago a quite important downturn with a much greater dizzinessAnd a feeling of imminent fainting for a few minutes), it is normal for a while to have felt being that my heart was put in 100 pulsations per minute (measured with a tensiometer, that I am nor I am an expert I don't even know if I have measured it well) and at one point I have felt like for a minute that has accelerated more and dizziness has also increased (although it has not given me time to measure the pulsations at that timely time), after which I have suddenly noticed that everything returnedSuddenly normality (I have not felt any pain in the chest, neither pressure nor I feel that I cannot make efforts, beyond dizziness and constant palpitations).

Please, I only ask for a little standard information because I am alone abroad and I need a minimum guide, because I do not know if it could be something serious or a symptomatic or easily curable bullshit with a pill.

Glucose is only eliminated from urine from 180. If you are not exceeding those values, it is suggestion.Wait for the results, but it does not paint diabetes.
