Hi all first time on here. i have been feeling really strange for the past few months but last week maybe twice a day the symptoms have scared me, been to gp today and have a fasting blood test on wednesday morning. i was diabetic when pregnant. my sister had diabetes, metformin, insulin when pregnant and my mum borderline.
symptoms at first i start feelig dizzy and then sick if i try to carry on whatever in doing i have to stop because i feel like im going to faint and the sickness gets worse to the point i have to sit down my limbs feel heavy my forehead sweats makes me sway when walking. i eat something hard to eat because i feel so sick once eating i come round in about 30 mins but feel extremly tired . approx every 3 hours i feel hungry and sick if i dont eat.
had a slice of cake before bed (midnight) i fell asleep on the floor when i wake up after a nap i crave sugar. had two sips of coffee with milk this morning wnt to the gp then to asda and had a finger prick test result was 7.1. went shopping after not feeling too good bought a blood sugar test kit felt dizzy and strange again so had 5 kitkats and lucozade drove home took another test and reading was 8.2 approx 40 mins after eating.
the episodes really scared me was scared because i was on my own. one occasion my partner was with me and he took my blood pressure after everything had settled down and i was coming round 167 over 95, i dont know what that means.
hope they get to the bottom of it because i feel sick and lightheaded throughout the day.
thank you for reading this, has anyone else felt the same i might be something else i dont know.
