In San Antonio, Texas we have a complete hospital devoted to the illness and there are medicines and proceedures being tested year around. The hospital known as Diabetes and Glandular Research at the Medical Center which is one of them.

As for your fear of NOT having diabetes!
It is a silent killer and no one, I mean NO ONE should redicule you for being concerned and doing something about it.

Being wrong is alot better then having and not acting. I'm 52 and have Type 2. I didn't act soon enough and am now paying the price with neoropathy, dim vision, recurring cellulitist infections and an open chest wound from February 2, 2006 that will not heal.
When the doctor lifts up my muscle on my left side you can see my sternum, ribs and lungs.

GO GET CHECKED AND LIVE LONG. If your positive for diabetes it isn't the end of the world, well it is if your in denial as I
was. Proper diet, exercise and testing with doctor visits will help.

There are times I wish I could DIE to fix it!!

If you're using the mg/dl system used in the USA, then the numbers mean something else entirely. At 5 you would probably be unconscious, and 38 you would be pretty close to it, so I don't think your meter is reading mg/dl.

In the mg/dl system of measuring blood sugar, these numbers would mean you are quite likely hypoglycemic. However, your symptoms sound more like those of an undiagnosed diabetic.

Symptoms of untreated diabetes include sleepiness and fatigue, especially after meals, when the blood sugar is rising too high. Feverish, hot, and feeling sick are also quite likely from high blood sugar but until you check your meter and see which system its set at, we can't be sure.

Many meters can be set for either system, so you have to make sure you are using the right system for the country you live in.

Also, most meters must be coded to the same code number that is on each vial of test strips. If they aren't coded, they won't give you the right readings. After coding, you need to test with a sugar solution that comes in a vial, and each company makes their own. Most of them will supply it free of charge if you call the 1-800 number listed in the meter guide. Sometimes the phone number is right on the back of the meter.

Once you have checked these things and know your meter is set up properly, then you can let us know WHICH measurements your meter is taking. Until then, we are only guessing at what is going on.

Whether you are a diabetic or a hypoglycemic, protiens are still a good food choice because they do not cause large fluctuations in your blood sugar. Avoid sugar, and white flour products like white bread, white pasta, and also white rice. Also avoid fruit, all sugar, honey, and other sweets until you know what's going on and have it more under control.

Stick with low fat protiens, whole grains in small quantities (whole grain breads, but not a lot of bread), and salads, veggies like brocolli, green beans, tomatoes, and small quanitites of things like potatoes or brown rice. You need to keep the starch and sugar down but keep the fibre up, and protien up. The same diet is helpful for both hypoglycemia and diabetes.

I really don't understand why your teacher didn't call an ambulance when you passed out in class. That really calls for emergency medical treatment.

Please talk to your doctor and find out which blood tests you had, and check your meter, then repost your question.

The specialist will likely be an endocrinologist, which is the most common specialist for diabetes and other glandular disorders.
