Today I went to the doctor to see what was up with my recent stomach problems. Got blood drawn to check for H.pylori (ulcer bacteria) and other stuff. No helicobacters, no problems with kidneys or liver, no infections.

Blood sugar 320 nearly 2 hours after my last meal.

I'm probably going to be a bit pissy for a while as I'm forced to change my life around to cope with diabetes. I don't even like MOVING, and that doesn't require as much in the way of permanent lifestyle changes.

Yeah, I expect to blog about this pretty extensively, although hopefully not to the point of annoying people. :) Type 2 does seem more likely, given my weight, sedentary lifestyle and recent tendency to have 40 oz or more of soda daily. But grandpa Van Domelen "came down with" type 1 as an adult, so it's not out of the question. I got regular diabetes tests as a kid, and always ask for the test the eye doctor can do to check for symptoms...so if nothing else, I'm fairly sure onset didn't happen until the past few years.

This does explain the excessive sweating I've been having the past month or so, though. :/ And may be the actual cause of my tiredness problems earlier in the week.
