Hi,
I have been advised by a friend, who has Diabetes, to seek some advise.
I have lost around 14 pounds in weight (now weigh 11 stone 3 lb) over the last 6 weeks or so without trying to loose weight, i am constantly thirsty and drink loads and dont seem to eat alot but when i eat, i eat a large amount. I get headaches more than i ever used to and tend to be a little short with people at time.
He tested by blood this morning (i had not had breakfast) and i had a reading of 20.0 mmol/l. After 1.5 hours he tested it again and i had a reading of 20.3 mmol/l.
What do you all think i should do?
Any advise is appreciated.
Regards
Sean

With levels that high you should see your GP urgently. See if you can test your urine for ketones too. If they are high then it's A&E for you I'm afraid especially if you feel sick. Only your GP or hospital can diagnose you after blood tests. Let us know how you get on.
