I just thought I'd update and let you know that I'm eventually seeing an endrocrinologist tomorrow but it looks very much like I've got the totally unrelated Diabetes Insipidus,Nephrogenic,rather than Diabetes Mellitus like most of you on here. So my symptoms were similar but were indicating a...

I am not a diagnosed diabetic but have been suffering from these same symptoms very recently,chocolate seems to be my worst enemy,also ive been suffering from low blood sugar for years but only getting infrequent attacks except lately its been a lot more often. I would suggest getting a blood...

I went to my doctor yesterday and was going to ask for a referral to an endrocrinologist and had an episode of low blood sugar,3.7 just before i went so was able to get through a little to the doctor more than before. Ive suffered from these episodes for a few years,shaky,sweaty,cold hands,very...

Thank you Erin,I will be asking for a referral to an Endocrinologist although my previous doctor wouldnt do it but I've recently changed and hope my new one will be more receptive.

I got the results of my GTT and i'm not even close to being diabetic,3.2mmol fasting level,god i'm frustrated! Not because i havent got diabetes but seeing no end to getting up to urinate 6-8 times a night and no end to my tiredness,fatigue,tingling hands in morning,rashes,yeast infection etc...

I would suggest you make a food and drink diary and take it to your doctor to show your diet and why you need help. Best wishes

Thanks Erin. It too seems I cannot seem to go through a day without having to have a nap or sleep no matter how strenuous or unstrenuous my day has been. I'm desperate to get a diagnosis,diabetes or any other so I can get back to eating healthier and exercising like I used to but being hungry...

I've been struggling with frequent urination for about 10 months and without anti diuretics I can go over 30 times a day,I havent been diagnosed but had all bladder and prostate issues discounted so have always suspected diabetes the most likely cause because of all the other symptoms that seem...

Its often said that frequent urination is the first sign of diabetes so could I ask how many times people were going in a normal day before they were diagnosed? Was it more frequently of a night or was it just all day and night? Thank you for your responses.

I've just had a liver scan today after having high liver enzymes and have been told I've got a fatty liver. I've read this can be a precursor or even a sign of type 2 diabetes so I will see how my Glucose Tolerance Test goes on thursday. Going 6 hours without food was a difficult task,even for...

Wow this is almost exactly the same as me. I am waiting for an ultrasound after registering high liver enzymes. I was told it could be a fatty liver,which can be linked with diabetes,which you have but i dont,so therefore maybe nothing to worry about. May be just a change of diet or something...

Thanks Smidge and Vivienne. My doc has agreed to do a fasting glucose test so hopefully it will give me a diagnosis one way or another. By the way ive cut down on the carbs the last couple of days and it has helped get my 2 hour after meals down,so thanks for the advice.

Still waiting to see doc but did another test and was 11.4 2 hours after meal and still hungry. Is there a type of diabetes where your blood glucose is in normal range until you eat and then it rises significantly and stays that way for a while?

Thanks Ali. There's definitely something wrong as I am tired and fatigued all the time and spend most days either sleeping or eating. I will definitely follow this up with my doc.

Daisy,thank you for your advice. I should have said that i wasnt looking for a diagnosis but more of advice to say if these are common symptoms others have or have had and these blood glucose readings are in the normal range for non diabetics or are there indicators of possible diabetes,pre...

Hello all,Ive joined to get as much info as possible on the disease. I havent been diagnosed but I have a dad who has been type 1 for 40 years. Looking forward to listening and contributing,if possible.

Hi everybody,I am looking for some advice. I have not been diagnosed diabetic myself but have a father who has been a type 1 for around 40 years. I first went to the docs with suspected urine infection in 2009 but it didnt clear up and I then developed itchiness and a yeast infection,these...
