Q. I will soon get health insurance. I live in Texas. Can someone give me a estimate on how much it would cost for them to run tests on me for Type 1 diabetes mellitus?
If i do have type 1 diabetes, how much money would it cost for medicine.
Can someone give me a estimate like around $500 dollars?

A. Hi Jay,
It should not cost you more than $200.00
All you need to do is to tell your doctor that you want to be tested for diabetes. He will discourage you but if you persist he will agree.
Request him to do the Glucose Tolerence Test (GTT)
Good luck. I hope you do NOT have diabetes.

A. It depends how high their blood sugars are but since Type 1s do not produce any insulin and all human beings are dependent on insulin, it could be as little as a day.
Having been through DKA I can tell you that it would be a horrible way to die.

What is the difference between diabetes mellitus and just diabetes?
Q. Is diabetes mellitus the specific name for type one diabetes or does mean both type one and two.
A. Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes�is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes: results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. (Also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.)
Type 2 diabetes: results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. (Formerly referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM for short, and adult-onset diabetes.)
Gestational diabetes: is when pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy. It may precede development of type 2 DM.
Other forms of diabetes mellitus include congenital diabetes, which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids, and several forms of monogenic diabetes.
So simply diabetes mellitus is the specific medical name for all three main Diabetes type 1 , Diabetes type 2, Diabetes gestational (pregnancy related) and other forms that are listed above.
Hope this helps.
