I know I am jumping the gun a bit here but I need answers. I have an autoimmune illness and have had prednisalone for inflammation.
For my whole life I would have said I could never have diabetes as I get low blood sugar regularly and need to eat, at least every 2 hours.
For years now I have been the joke among friends as I need to wee far too often, including at night, some nights maybe ten times. I was thinking hormones as I am in my 50's. I get thirsty but I am not frantic. My other symptom is profound weakness and tiredness. The oddest thing is feeling shaky and weak, like low sugar when I have eaten a good meal, which is worse if I also have a pudding.
My GP has done plasma glucose ( not fasting as I couldn't imagine getting to the surgery without breakfast). I don't have the results yet and am beginning to think it will come back OK. Yet I know I should not feel drowsy and shaky when I am full.
I really want a resolution.
