[QUOTE="Nidge247, post: 1669790, member: 158871"] Firstly, welcome to the Forum; you've come to the right place [emoji1303] You need to be asking for full blood tests to include having her HbA1c tested; which will show (amongst other things), her overall picture of blood sugars. This then marks a definitive point you can work from. It will also determine which most likely type of diabetes she has. If her BGs (blood glucose levels) are high, I would expect symptoms as you describe. Unfortunately with all the cutbacks in the NHS, I am finding that the routine tests have now been dropped, and it is up to me to contact the surgery at the due time to insist on the next blood test being done. (Which so far they have been happy to complete.) Keep in touch and let us know how you get on [emoji847] [/QUOTE]
