Hi
I had been feeling unwell last year from June onwards, tiredness, feeling off balance and unsteady on my feet with regular headaches and high blood pressure, the symptoms kept coming and going apart from the off balance feeling, 8 months later after another blood pressure check up did my GP checked all my bloods and sent me for a Glucose test. I have Type 2 diabetes and have been instructed to diet and increase my exercise.
My Q's are..
I have read about thirst, urination and extreme tiredness symptoms classic signs of diabetes type 2, these did not apply to me (apart form some tiredness)..so
Not feeling myself
Off balance feeling/unsteady on my feet
light headed feelings/heavy headed feelings
Headaches/High blood pressure
Are these common symptoms?
Why do I get these symptoms? Nobody has told me what my problem really is?
Will my diet change improve them?
Will exercise and weight loss improve them?
How long does it take to start to feel ok again?
Please help.
Thank you.
