Hi, I have just learned that my cousin, 52, has been diagnozied with early diabetis. He has been leading a most healty life style with regular excersising and no bad habits like alcohol or smoking. Might have been exposed to a certain degree of stress generated by his professional life. A few weeks ago he was down with an unfection that revealed itself in a form of herpes that expanded on his head and then on eyelids. He was injected some glucose as part of a system to fight the herpes. He was then told he had his blood sugar at 25 instead of a max 6. HE had never had any complaints of his general health state. Can you please advise whether this may be a temporary rise in blood sugar rate or he should consider himself as a diabetic from now on? Thanks a lot.
