above200 is high for someone without a diagnosis, (and for many with one).
if you had just eaten a crapload of sugary stuff. then, maaaaaybe... but im guessing you have an issue.
being skinny has nothing to do with it, infact many people with diabetes are skinny. fat people give them selves diabetes in some cases through abusing their bodies, its not the only way.
at MOST drug stores you can get a meter with a few strips for $10
at some drug stores they offer a fast free hg a1c THIS Is your best way to tell.
if your a1c is above 5.5-6 or so, you have a serious condition. and the sooner you learn about it the better.

Mr.GuessWork said: Don't forget test strips. A month supply of those at around 5-7 strips a day are fucking expensive.
I pay about $200 a month total with shit insurance. About $45 each for humalog (about $80 w/o insurance) and lantus (about $130 w/o insurance), $30-40 for syringes, and I can't remember what I payed for my last batch of test strips since I have a bit of a stockpile right now, but a month's supply of those can easily be around $200-300 without insurance (there are cheaper ones for somewhere under $150 or so a month though). I had methimazole for graves disease for a while too, but that was only about $35 or so a month.
With insurance it totals somewhere just under $200. Without it it would be around $500 a month. If you factor in the insurance cost, the prices are pretty comparable. If you include medical appointments, then it's a win for me. Type 1 diabetics pretty much need health insurance in most places in the US. Sometimes I wish I were Canadian .
man i'm type 1, but i guess i'm lucky that it's just cheap here. the price got cut in half a few years ago though, but i know we have good aid for those without insurance here (me included). personally i've never bought test strips, and rarely use them, but i can almost always tell where my blood sugar is at just on feeling. i get three viles of humalog and and lantis for 50$ total with no insurance.

I randomly felt weird and asked to used her One Touch Verio IQ tester to see. My blood sugar was first 235 and 240 and she assumed a fluke, because I'm skinny and never had problems before.
An hour later though, was at 250.
She says "Well the battery is low maybe it's off" and I'm here freaking out right now.
What do you think I should do? Oh, no insurance, no money, so idk. Fuck it

That's nice. I wish I could get some aid like that. When my schedule is regular I can get by just fine without using more than a test strip or two a day, but when the schedule is more erratic, I've got to test more often. My A1C is almost always between 6 and 7, which is the target range for type 1 diabetics. I don't often go above 200 mg/dL but I don't get many lows either. If I get one that's 7 or above, I get serious about getting my shit back together.

Dos that count as masochism?
Seriously though dude, you're going to start losing limbs and go blind if you keep that shit up. If you can't handle not snacking you might want to try asking your doctor about going on humolog shots. At least that way when you snack, you can take a shot so your blood sugar doesn't shoot up to 400. All you have to do is count the carbohydrates you eat, measure out a dose of humolog in a syringe (it's easy if you can do fractions), and inject it into some nice fatty part of your body like your arm or butt cheek. Go to an endocrinologist and talk to them about it if your haven't already. GPs usually suck at diabetes management, but they can give you a referral.

yeah i had an indocrinologist tell me i had 6 years tops to live 11 years ago
no one seems to be able to make my sugars respond, and when we get them right my insulin needs go up, at this point im on 200 units a day.

WOW. That's the worst type 2 situation I've ever heard of. You might want to try something like the atkins diet. Eat mostly meat and fat and stay away from carbohydrates as much as possible. If you don't eat carbs your blood sugar shouldn't go up as badly, and it should be more manageable even with insulin insensitivity that's as ridiculous as yours.

Funny you say that. I actually have a buddy whos dad found out he was diabetic because he would always piss outside in the same place. One day he started to notice a crap ton of sugar crystals in the area he pissed

That's cool, dude. My bad for assuming. What I suggested could only work if your BG level is affected by carbohydrate intake. I'm curious about what you've got from the standpoint of being a guy with somewhat similar bullshit to deal with. If you're comfortable PMing the name of the condition to me I'd read up on it and diligently respect your desire not to be identified (I have the same desire ). No pressure intended at all though, and good luck either way man. That shit sucks.
