So 3 weeks ago I found out I have diabetes after a number of symptoms came on out of the blue.
Out of hours doctor tested me and sent me to A&E and I was reading 15.2 at that point.
I was prescribed Insulin to start with but over the course of the next week the dosage was increased and Metformin and Zicron added to the mix.
My levels have come down quite well (helped by me cutting sugar from tea and also my snacking on sweet things throughout the day). Obviously this is early days and still trying to figure out what to eat and everything else.
I have two ongoing issues which started around the time when I got diagnosed and I am trying to figure out if this is normal: -

I have two ongoing issues which started around the time when I got diagnosed and I am trying to figure out if this is normal: -
- Blurred vision, this was there at the start of the symptoms then cleared up for a few days before returning as my levels dropped. From what I can gather this is probably my eyes adjusting to my levels and it should settle so I am less concerned with this.
- Chronic constipation resulting in stomach pains at the front and left hand side of by body. I was concerned the pains might be something else but after a short lived bout of movements over the weekend the pain went away but is now back with avengance.
Thanks for reading,
