Only today I have heard that diabetes is being found in a lot more of the younger groups too, but beware, it is often wrongly diagnosed, I know that is fact, because I nearly was myself.
Some people due to a kidney leak (mostly during birth) can leak foods into the water stream without 100% filtering being done by the kidneys, this will and does show sugar, if you use as I do the Diabur-Test-5000 test strips you can be 100% clear before your first cup of tea and meal in the morning, but do a test at 2pm after dinner and you could be around 0.5 (26) pos, after evening meal your going to be about 1 (56) pos.
This can be mistaken very easily as Diabetes, often is, I have lived with this since 1979 and I'm still well with no treatment needed.
Some Doctors would have put me on Insulin with no need.
The test you have to rule this out is an iodine test, you lay on the Hospital xray table, they inject the tube in your arm, it lets this yukky stuff into your body over 30 or so minutes while they are taking xrays of your kidneys, they see the leak, and that rules out any treatment needed.
No you do not normaly need any operation, I never have in my life, but I still use my test strips often to keep an eye of things, because it can turn into a problem later in life.
