Hello,
I wasn't expecting this. Although, blurry vision, up at night for hours with unquenchable thirst, frequent peeing should have been clues, only started 3 days ago. I have a bmi of 23, I am active, 48yo with thyroid disease (Hashimotos) and severe migraine. My paternal grandmother had Type 1 with lots of problems. In the space of a few hours I have itchy lips and hands, sores in my mouth, upset digestive tract, cracking headache and nausea. I've been started on low dose metformin. My blood sugar ranges from 14 to 23, although more higher readings than lower. Trying to see GP tomorrow.
Any advice or tips would be welcome, I have a lot to learn and want to stop feeling so sick.
