[QUOTE="sdgray22, post: 244039, member: 40547"] I have high blood pressure and have had for years I take meds and have a yearly blood test for kidney function, nobody bothered to do a BS test at the same time so until I had urine infections nobody knew I could have been walking around for at least 4 years without any other symptoms that I recognised anyway (I realise now that it was why I had carpal tunnel problems last year and a funny feeling under one of my toes! ) But who knows the symptoms of diabetes if you ask anyone it would be going to the loo more I would think - I didn't do that. If Doctors doing any blood test for anything just added Blood Sugar measurement to the test I am sure they would catch a lot more before they got too high. That is too much common sense to actually happen though. I also understand that there is some possible connection with High Blood Pressure - they should at least check all of those people. The NHS is slowly falling apart I am afraid. Ticking boxes is now the thing. :thumbdown: [/QUOTE]
