Question for diabetics. What do you think of this situation? I have recently had problems with my blood pressure going up then sometimes in the normal range. I also have had fluid retention. My feet, legs, and ankles swell also. I was given HCTZ to take for the fluid and even after I complained that my feet, legs and ankles had a burning sensation, my doctor said nothing. I went off the HCTZ on my own and the burning sensation went away. I knew it was from the med but he didn't. I have also vision changes. I told my doctor that I had some symptoms that diabetics have. I asked him if a blood test would show if I had diabetes. He said it does and then said my blood tests are fine. Then I got a letter from him telling me my glucose has improved. I was never told that my glucose was not normal. What does this letter mean? He has not asked me to make another appointment nor has he scheduled other tests for me. Has anyone with diabetes ever been diagnosed with a medical conditon other than diabestes, when the real diagnosis should have been diabetes?

Summarized question: Can you have abnormal glucose levels without being diagnosed with diabetes?
