Good morning
Just another person that has gotten hold of a test kit and scared themselves half to death.
So I have recently (Past 2 weeks) noticed I get up in the night to pop to the loo, something I never or very rarely do but it is now on a nightly basis.
This forced me to look into it and came across as a possible symptom of diabetes, checking amazon and found a kit cheap enough with all the bells and whistles needed to test.
Test 1:
After work, I got home open the box figured out how to use it and got a test done. Result, 2.7.
I drank about 2L of water that day.
This was about 430pm, the last time I ate was at lunch 12pm with a Thai Green Curry.
Test 2:
The next morning I had done a FBG with the result of 5.6.
I drank about 1L of water that day.
That night for dinner I had an oven pizza from chigargo town a mix fruit kopperburg and a wihte choclate magnum for desert (8-830pm)
Test 3:
The following morning the next FBG result was 5.7
Dinner the night before being lamb shank, swede mash and peas with 2 glasses of apple juice
From the FBG tests I understand I am following on the borderline of Pre-Diabeties and this as most has scared the living daylights out of me.
I am 25 years old
Weigh 9st.10 pnd
Height 5ft.8inc
Wasit size 30inch
BMI 20.6
I also keep a track of my blood pressure:
Systolic: 124
Diastolic: 71
Pulse: 75
I have been the same weight for a while but over the last 8 month I have been increasing gaining 10 pounds over said time frame.
I guess I am not sure what I am asking other than advise from you guys with day to day experience of diabetes and other people like me that wonder in here.
I know everyone will say I should see my GP for certainty and that no one can diagnose anything over the WWW, and I will once I am back from my holiday (Which also frightens me, all that beer, bread and ice cream!!).
Thank you for taking the time to read
