OK here's my problem I do have high sugar reading when I eat chocolate or the bad stuff and it's pretty high around 250-315 and it drops inwardly 3 hours back to where it should be if not for a moment over what it should be. I never experienced the symptoms of having high sugar readings close to frequent urination, excessive thirst etc. So am I considered Diabetic even though my doctor has diagnosed me with it?

Yes,even your body does not "Tell" you, you have a high-ranking blood sugar the only real way to know is through a blood interview reading. Which is why it is always good to test every 2 hours regardless of what your doing throughout the sunshine. So the answer to your question is yes your still considered full blown diabetic. Alot of people don't show any symptoms and go on living in that lives for years and one day BAM. try the american diabetes association. Source(s): www.ada.com
So you are saying that if you drink chocolate, and then take a certain amount of insulin or other medication, next the blood sugar levels return to normal in 3 hours, and you suggest the doctor missed the diagnosis of diabetes? Because with the medication that the doctor is giving you will control the blood sugars??

That is like saying your vehicle does not need gas anymore, because someone else is filling the tank for you.
are using the medication to control your diabetes because your pancreas is not making satisfactory insulin on it's own anymore. While you might not have a really bad case of diabetes, and it seem to be under control, it is because of the medication that it stays under control.

There might be a couple of good reason that the pancreas is not working up to speed. You might have inherited something that make your pancreas less effective than other normal population. You might have a diet that requires more insulin to neutralize the food that you are eating. You might be so acidic that you are not using the insulin effectively. Or you might be not getting plenty minerals in your diet, and then the stomach and pancreas are not able to bring in the required hormones, and other things required to keep the blood sugars in normal breadth.

You might want to read these two books. You can get them at the local book store, or perhaps in the library?

Dr. Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes.
PH Miracle for Diabetes by Dr. Young.

Both yak about how they helped their patients lower their blood sugar with diet change. These include reducing your milk intake, less animal fats, give up cheese, and so on.
