Does anyone here have diabetes?

I’ve been peeing a lot more than normal especially night, drinking more, having more trouble driving at night due to not being able to see well, and have been very tired. I went to see a doctor yesterday and my results came back normal but my BUN was a little low. I do have a family history of diabetes but as I mentioned my results were normal. I wasn’t made to fast beforehand though and was wondering if that could affect the results

That won’t effect your results. There’s a different threshold for what’s within normal limits for a random glucose.

The HbA1c is not a fasting blood test. It's a long term blood test.

Then you also know that fasting beforehand would not have changed that result.

Did you have A1C done? Or Random Glucose?

The A1C was normal it was 5.6 and the finger stick was 89 while my blood glucose was 95

What was the A1C results on bloodwork? & the random glucose, did they do that along with the rest of bloodwork or they only manually checked it with finger prick?

I had an A1C, they stuck my finger and did a blood glucose test

I know you technically should for 8 hours before a BMP

I had to fast before mine. If you were meant to fast but didn't, that would mess up the results. I would call and ask.

I don’t know I just know they stuck my finger and took blood for a blood glucose test

Are you thirsty a lot? If you don't eat for long stretches, what happens? If you drink a whole glass of juice, what happens? Is your urine thicker than normal? Does your breath ever smell fruity or like acetone to others?

Yes, the only time I really went a while before eating was Saturday because I wasn’t really hungry but at the same time wanted to eat but still waited and I got really shaky and had to quickly eat a bagel, I don’t really drink juice and I don’t think so to my urine being thicker and no one has commented on how my breath smells. I’m mostly either at work or at home and wear a mask at work
