[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 125251, member: 1587"] Lisa, I'm glad this doctor is running these tests. I was hypoglycemic but took care of it with diet. husband's oldest (and ex) are insulin dependent diabetics. The oldest was not diagnosed until he was 14 and living with us. He had severe mood swings, off the wall, and as soon as we found out that it was diabetes and got him stablized he mellowed considerably. When his blood sugar was high he was uncontrollable... a real difficult child. Sadly to say we didn't notice the symptoms.. :( We were in the process of buying our home and resettling (no excuse but the true reason) and didn't notice how much weight he had lost. He complained of having to go to the bathroom constantly also. When we finally had him tested he was very close to a diabetic coma. We were so used to his complaining about everything since he was small that we just stopped listening. :( Don't feel very good about that. :( Anyway, we had our youngest difficult child tested yearly after that but he has not developed diabetes yet. Hopefully he won't. If a person's blood sugar is way off they can even appear drunk. Diet is very important. I had to learn to measure everything. He is currently doing very well now. :) Sending you and your difficult child good thoughts and many hugs. [/QUOTE]
