Is it possible to develop diabetes in less than a year?

your doctor's comments confuse me. a fasting reading of 103 is a little high, but a lot depends on when you actually had something to eat before that test...8 hrs earlier, 6 hrs earlier? having a reading of 65 after that horrible drink is a good sign of hypoglycemia. not having symptoms has nothing to do with your future development of diabetes. i was diagnosed with hypoglycemia about 30 years ago & have never "lost" it, have never become diabetic. i'm still hypoglycemic. better control of it now than when i was diagnosed, but my readings still run lower than most people. my advice to you from my own experience is to stabilize your diet. no extremes on anything. don't overdo on sweets as that will trigger events. don't avoid them totally or you'll end up having a major craving & go overboard someday eating too much of it. your body will need to run smoothly & the only way to do that is to keep your food steady. i do well on a higher protein diet, some sweets, fruits, veg, etc. i've stopped sodas altogether, as they just don't taste that good to me anymore. if you're hungry all the time & gaining weight, chances are you're eating a lot of "empty" calories that don't satisfy the hunger but do put on pounds. leave behind those "fluff" foods (you likely know what those are) & try something more solid & less junk. try some V8 juice. been drinking that myself lately & it's really pretty good. lots of nutrition & i'm not hungry afterwards. i have about 6 ounces in the morning & i'm not "starving" an hour later like i am after eating something like cereal.
