First off there is no such thing as pre-diabetes, that's like being pre-dead. Either you got it or you haven't. Seond, stress raises blood sugar levels exponentially, the more you're stressed the higher the blod sugar. Since you haven't had a glusose tolerance test, there is no definitive answer. 126 is not high if you're stressed out. What you ned to do is try and relax. All of your symptoms can be attributed to your emotional state. You need to see a doctor that can do the tolerance test and the get hisopinion and prognosis.

Before I went to the hospital I went to the pharmacy and bought a blood glucose monitoring system. The pharmacist saw me and said I look terrible, after I told her about a few of my symptoms she said I probably have diabetes. When I checked my blood sugar in the middle of the afternoon it was 77. In the hospital the Doctors never mentioned it, I was admitted for anxiety and given medications for it. My anxiety is reduced by a lot, my stress and anxiety has subsisded but I still have all the symptoms as I said above and I feel so sick all the time, I tested my blood sugar again and it was 136.

I have just eaten a slice of toast and I am not shaking so much. I am not sure what is going on as for 5 years I have been like this even when I wasn't underweight? Can all my symptoms be put down to my weight, I know something isn't right but the Doctors did my blood work and they never said anything to me about it only that I am to thin?

I have other symptoms too, I hate sugar and feel unwell if I eat too much but sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and I NEED chocolate, the craving is so bad and I only eat a small piece and I feel normal again, I also have other night symptoms.

I know that you can't diagnose me and I know I should see a Doctor but I have a 4000 hospital bill and can't afford to just go and have the test done right now and since the Doctors didn't say anything about my blood sugar I don't know what to think or do, I do feel so sick though more than ever?

I really appreciate any advise or help you can give me, I need to find some answers for this.

Do I have Pre - Diabetes, what are the symptoms and causes? If i may i want to help you and have anxiety or panic attacks also and take meds for this and live very happy and well and i seem to remember when i had this come on i was doing the same thing and the same way now i want to ask you some questions before i answer and if you want to ill try to help. Do you take any meds for the panic attacks and what kind ? Are you worried about dieing ? Do you have a good relationship with your mate ? Do you work ? Do you have children ? Do you smoke ? do you take drugs not medical drugs but social use drugs ? Do you eat 3 meal a day ? Do you cook meals or go out for this ? Do you have any kind of special interests in life ? Do you help other people in their lives ? Now this may seem silly to you but i have got to get a sense of you and see whats going on and add more info here and let it out and tell me all the little things you have been thinking and what is going on and until you do no one can help but ill do any thing i can to help you . because i know what its like to be like this. But i dont think its diabetes and i have this condtion myself and i dont think you are eating right and enough and the toast is not enough and you are sick because of the anxiety and this will make you sick to the stomach i know so t ell me more.

It only requires simple blood tests to determine if your diabetic. see your doctor.

Your symptoms definitely sound as if you are diabetic, or quickly on the road to becoming diabetic. For the joker who made the "there's no such thing as pre-diabetes" comment, he is sadly misinformed. There IS such a thing, and it means your fasting glucose is elevated beyond normal, but is not in the range considered "diabetic' by physicians. Your shaking and anxiety all sound like hypoglycemia. I have this and I AM prediabetic. Your insulin is either giving out (which would explain why you are still slim) or is being used ineffectively. A higher protein diet, small meals throughout the day, elimination of sugar and caffeine, and increase in complex carbs (vegetables, nuts, and seeds) would help, but you may need Metformin (Glucophage) which is an insulin sensitizing drug or even an insulin analog. Please see your doctor for a glucose tolerance test and purchase a home glucose meter to check your sugar levels throughout the day. Also, look up "hypoglycemia" and "hyperinsulinemia" online. Best of luck.

Thank you. I do know now that I am hypoglycemic.
