Hi @percysandra12 , Nerve wracking wait, I'm sure... Whatever the results, your previous HbA1c was a prediabetic 6,1 and you're right, stress can have an impact. So whatever comes, you might want to adjust your way of eating. Either to bring burgeoning diabetes under control if the results...

As @lovinglife stated, we can't diagnose. But your concerns are valid and merit some bloodwork and such. There's a bunch of reasons why bedwetting etc could occur, so yeah... Get a GP appointment as soon as possible, and get things sorted. Embarrassment for something you literally can't...

Welcome to this place, hope we can be of service. :)

I'm only using a sensor for the second time, but for the first 24 hours it often registered as LO, (I was 6 to 7-something-or-other according to my finger pricks, so far from LO!). In the first 24 hours of application they're not reliable in the slightest. And if there is pressure on the sensor...

There's more in the world than CBT. Schematherapy might be of assistance here... That does actually hearken back to things that happened before (very broad, not just one formative event!), and helps you put current things in a new perspective. Or EMDR, which goes back to a more specific...

Not due to diabetes, no... Nerve damage after a biopsy, so not relevant to your question. Tingly lips could be a symptom of prolonged high blood glucose, or a hypo, according to Dr. Google... Or a thousand non-diabetes related things. If you're concerned, you might want to speak to your GP...

Hello Oliver, Welcome to this little corner of the web. Your profile says you don't have diabetes, am I right in assuming you know someone who does? Do you need help with anything? Do let us know if there's anything you need, it's what we're here for. :) Again, welcome! Jo

Usually it's ureum crystals causing the problem. For me it's a cause of kidney stones: same crystals, different area. I tend to take sodium bicarb to break down the crystals, if I don't forget. The main thing would be cutting down on animal protein though, (aside from drinking lots of water)...

I'm with @Antje77 ; if something's not healing properly, ask your GP or the assistant about it. If it needs an antibiotic cream, only they can provide it, and if it needs to heal "on the air", as most wounds do, they'll tell you.

My GP told me I could try this, if statins from the pharmacy didn't agree with me. Never got around to it. Your posting this made me remember that conversation from nine years ago, and since I've been having *slight* cardiac issues, figured I might as well give it a go, so I just ordered a...

Good news being, if you were in DKA, you wouldn't've been able to be irked about it now. Next time though, try sticking around for the results if at all possible, or be around someone who gets the results. DKA is rather lethal. That they're too incompetent to swiftly do anything with the...

Your hypoglycemic episodes were never properly treated nor diagnosed? We can't diagnose on here, but there's conditions that can cause hypo's, like Reactive Hypoglycemia. Something worth checking, potentially. It is when you eat carbs, and your blood glucose has a little spike, and your...

Unbelievable... Or rather, I do believe it, but it boggles the mind that this has become almost normal. Progress, eh. Just so you know, while you're supposed to use a new lancet every time... Quite a few of us re-use until they're blunt and pricking starts to hurt. I have a box of...

Slimming world doesn't usually cater to people with a metabolic condition like diabetes, so maybe not the best way to go far as support goes, unless you feel comfortable not quite following the exact same plan far as carbs go... Or maybe something similar? Who knows what groups are around. A few...

PS: Other things can drive blood sugars up, too. Stress, other medications (statins, steroids), illnesses, so something else might be going on. We tend to look at foods a lot because there's much to be gained there, and fast, but you're covering most of that already. It'd be good to know where...

Your HbA1c, if I did the math right, means you're basically hovering around 12 mmol/l all the time... That's more than the occasional coke-or-crisps spike. And you might not be managing keto, your current intake is fairly low carb and consistent with intermittent fasting or even One Meal A...

Gliclazide forces your pancreas to produce more insulin to deal with the food you eat. If you don't eat, and your system gets flooded with insulin, you get the same thing someone shooting insulin on an empty stomach would: you'd likely get a hypo. With metformin limiting the glucose the liver...

You can wake me up for a good steak, bunless burger, piece of salmon or strawberries with cream. Extra dark chocolate, bacon & eggs, various salads (Ceasar, Nicoise, Surf & Turf etc)... If i know I'm going for a brisk walk immediately after, I can have a latte macchiato with coconut milk, if...

It's possible. I tend to get an energy dip about a day in, but start feeling better afterwards again. I fully intended to do it more often, when I tried it 7 years or so ago, but I just never did again... I found Intermittent Fasting more doable, meaning I usually skip breakfast and eat my first...

You could pour it into smaller travel bottles (as used for shampoos, or maybe your pharmacy could re-bottle it for you with the proper labels on request). Metformin isn't a controlled substance, so if you keep it with you in smaller quantities it should be do-able, if it turns out eventually to...
