I hate going to the GP, even telephone appointments!
I had gestestional diabetes, although diagnosed very late- from 30 weeks pregnant I mentioned to my midwife how constantly thirsty I was but because I'm normal weight she told me it was just my body telling me to drink more for my growing baby. I was quick annoyed, I ended up with a huge baby and we were both quite poorly at 39 weeks.
4 years later I've started to notice the last few months being really thirsty again, tingling in my hands and feet, an infection in my foot I can't clear up and constant thrush that I've had for months now. I know it sounds silly but I feel like it's in my head to suggest it's diabetes ie the midwife saying I'm too slim (I'm 38). It's not a thirst of taking jugs of water to bed but weeing more but then I'm drinking more...but then I think could it just be anxiety. The midwife has really made me doubt myself. I also have epilepsy.
How severe was your thirst? Sorry for the ramble.
