? for Diabetics/pre-diabetes. Can a hospital's bloodwork produce a false reading?

Sorry so long....

Blood sugar levels can go all over the place, depending on how much insulin your body produces and and how well your body uses the insulin it does produce. The better test to have done is a Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test. That will tell how her blood sugar has been over a long period of time. Good results of a HbA1c are 7.0 or lower. The doctors should be doing this test as a routine matter if her blood sugar levels are high in the hospital.

Do they do a pregnancy test on women when getting a routine blood test for Thyroids/ Diabetes?

I recently went in for a pap smear and to get blood drawn for diabetes and thyroid problem i also had to give a urine sample im not sure what for beings they were testing me for a few different things. A few days after my pap i was expecting to start my period a week later i still did not start so i took a pregnancy test. It was negative. i was just wondering if when they test your blood if they automatically do a pregnancy test even though thats not what the test was ordered for?

Unless they suspect pregnancy they probably wouldn't order the test automatically since you or your insurance would have to pay for the test. You should probably be able to call your doctor's office or if you had the blood drawn at a Quest Lab and you set up an online account you might be able to get your results online. Good luck.

Can the cord blood of an infant be used to cure or treat type 1 diabetes in the infant's mother?

My wife has type 1 diabetes. We are expecting our first child and have heard many of the wonderous medical miracles of cord blood. But can the cord blood be used by my wife to treat (or even cure) her type 1 diabetes?

This is NOT one of the "miracles" of cord blood.

There is some promising research into using stem cells to cure Type 1 diabetes, but that work is still in its infancy, So far, diabetes has been cured with stem cells in a few lab rats. [ADULT stem cells were used, not embryonic stem cells] It is a LONG journey from lab rats to humans! IF this proves effective in humans, the testing, clinical trials, and FDA approval for treatment is still 20-30 years away.

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and had blood and urine test two weeks ago. Do we get the results from these tests?

I'm not due to see my midwife again until i'm 20 weeks and was wondering whether i will be told the results from the blood tests taken as i may have suspected Diabetes.

Wowsa, how come you dont see your midwife until 20 weeks? I'm in the UK and saw my Midwife at 8 weeks for booking in, then had a u/s at 12 weeks, and my next check up at 16 weeks.

The recommended schedule is, 8 weeks booking in, 12 weeks dating scan,16 weeks, 20 weeks abnormality scan, 24 weeks, 28 weeks, 31 weeks, 34 weeks, 36 weeks, 38 weeks, 40 weeks and also at 41 weeks.

I was told I would get my blood results when I received my notes, I picked mine up when I went for my scan, but if they weren't ready they would have been posted. If you are not sure ring your Dr's office or antenatal department at your local hospital as they will be able to inform you of your results or what to do re. suspected diabetes.

Oh, just remembered that if this is not your 1st baby you less checks, but your next would still be 16 weeks not 20. expect appointments at 16, 28, 34, 36, 38 and 41 weeks as well as a dating scan at 12 weeks and abnormality scan at 20 weeks.
