Highly unlikely, jaundice is normally associated with liver or pancreas, both incidentally control glucose metabolism but jaundice is not normally associated with diabetes. Unusual that's its under eyes too, keep an eye around belly button and flank for changes too.

Yellow skin is normally a sign of jaundice... Are your eye whites changing at all?....

I have to shovel fat in like my life depended on it otherwise I'd be emaciated.... I just can't sustain weight without a daily 1000cal fat smoothie in addition to my main meal.

Quick update, all blood results in except H Pylori and GAD which apparently take a little longer. So far, all within normal parameters. Hba1c down from 38 to 34 (5.6 - 5.3), so mySugr was spot on in its estimation. Still waiting to hear from hospital for endoscopy and scans.

Hi, it's a little high, but not tragic... They say that levels above 7.8 is where inflammation occurs so they should be kept to a minimum and for as short a time as possible. They also say ideally tailor your meals to give a jump of no more than 2.0 to keep numbers nice and stable. As...

I started having it in the mornings and sometimes another small one after my evening meal. I hardly budge from it, 0.5 increase at most. It's made no difference to fasting, 5.9 this morning. I seem to wake up at the same level I went to bed at every day. It's like my metabolism stops when I...
