Hi everybody,I am looking for some advice.
I have not been diagnosed diabetic myself but have a father who has been a type 1 for around 40 years.
I first went to the docs with suspected urine infection in 2009 but it didnt clear up and I then developed itchiness and a yeast infection,these havent cleared up even now. Then I developed frequent urination in July 2010 and this is still with me. Been checked by 2 urologists and this isnt a urological problem.
In that time I've had many flu/virus like symptoms which have come and gone. Recently,the last couple of months my urination problems have been worse,especially during the night and I always get thirsty too. Ive developed really achy problems in the morning and have trouble getting out of bed and feel nauseous,I used to jog 3 times a week but havent got the energy any more. I have shaky feelings before meals and get headaches and feel tired afterwards.
Have also developed tingling and numbness in my hands and feet especially in the morning over past couple of months too.
I recently tested my blood sugar with a meter and my blood glucose was 4.4 mmol before my meal and 2 hours afterwards it went up to 10.3 mmol,is this a worry?
Ive had lots of blood tests over the past year and a recent one,a week ago showed raised liver enzymes but I've been told I dont have diabetes,although I dont think I've had a a1c test to test levels over 3 months.
I would love to get my problem sorted out so I can get back to exercising and get my health back.
Thanks for listening and all advice welcome.
John
