I'm on Mirtazapine (15mg) but recently increased dosage to 30mg. I'm still doubting its effectiveness especially after I now hear that it can cause havoc on your blood sugar levels. Anyone else know about this??

Do you tend to pee more if you have more coffee or tea than usual? If so how much approximately??

Today I woke up and had a small void (yellowish) after having drunk at least a litre in total I reckon over night which I thought was unusual. I had a tea and coffee for breakfast and then pasta for lunch with bread followed by natural ice cream. Voided a good hour after all this and it was a...

Ok so it depends on circumstances and the individual then? That's why they say to drink more during the summer or if you leave in hotter climates. I seem to be able to hold in fluid and go without voiding for quite a while. Like for example last night, I'm pretty sure I drank more than 500 ml...

Thanks. The question about the kidneys is very interesting. Is there a normal time lapse for the kidney process? I think mine are very slow too.

If you drank 500ml of say water (small bottle) would you void exactly 500ml within say an hour of drinking it, assuming you had nothing else and everything was functioning normally (physically)?

Also I'm not sure if anxiety and feeling nervous is playing a part. The more I think about it all the more it starts to worry me about what's wrong that I end up feeling on edge which in turn gives way to the slight urge to pee?

Doctor hasn't checked my prostate just yet but I would think I'd be having more consistent frequent symptoms during the day and evening rather than just this one time period if I had prostate issues. So last night I was asleep by midnight but then awake at 1:05am noticing again the slight...

Thanks contralto, I didn't know that you could test for A1C3 by yourself? Also I think you meant to say if testing for random blood sugar, someone will show a number higher than average, not lower? I do drink green tea before I sleep and I always tend to be on the computer until late for...

I'm 34, male, 6ft2, healthy weight etc. and no known conditions, i.e.non diabetic. I am taking mirtazipine for the last 2 months. I have a close direct relative, father, who has diabetes type 2 (diagnosed in mid 50s). The last 2 weeks or so I've woken up in the early morning (range from 230am -...

I hear there's approximately a +-15% variation with bg readings. So for example if you got a reading of 7.0 would that still be acceptable for a non diabetic post prandial, WITH taking meter variance into account?

For the last week or so, my usual sleep patterns have been disturbed. I have always been able to sleep extremely well my whole life, never waking up. Since around Monday last week I would wake up around 4am with this slight feeling that I need to urinate. Most times though, I didn't actually end...

Of course these bars aren't meant to be meal replacement solutions rather a simple treat or a snack in between meals. They are heavy, in the sense that they're thick and chewy so ideally you won't even finish the whole bar. The 7g of carbs is for the Chocolate brownie flavour - Total...

Quite disappointed over the lack of healthy low carb snacks and treats at Holland&Barrett and Whole Foods until I came across QUEST bars. Has anyone had them? They are delicious and more importantly, only 7grams ber par! Only 3 or so grams which are active carbs. Every other "healthy" item in...

For how long roughly did you have these symptoms and would you say they were intense or just mild and on and off?

How many times per night did you wake up to pee? And were you peeing during the day time as well? Also were the symptoms more prominent after you had an intake of high carb food?

And did you find that you peed more often when you had a higher carb intake?

Oh right! Why is the 75mg glucose test used primarily for diagnosing gestational diabetes and not the others?

I get occasional cramps in my feet, is this different to the tingling and pins/needles feeling that can be symptomatic of diabetes? This is not even painful but more of a cramp feeling usually after I've been sitting or lying the same place for quite a while. It usually then disappears within...
