I am getting my H1aBc test done soon but I'm not diabetic as far as I'm aware and hoping this obviously doesn't change. Anyway, I have been testing myself using a glucometer just out of interest for the last week and my levels are all well within the normal levels - waking levels (4-5.2), post...

Ok that's very interesting, I did not know this. 15% difference either side can be quite significant but I'm guessing these readings do give you some idea at least, like a ballpark figure. Thank you for your responses.

I'm a non-diabetic (as far as I know) but wanted to test my levels as I plan to get a HbA1C test soon along with my other bloods so I figured these readings might give me a prediction as to what figure that would be. Anyway I bought this Vivacheck meter here -...

Now I realise there are many reasons why I would have this "middle of the night" insomnia but I think what set me off was when I read that unbalanced blood sugars can cause it. Stress, anxiety is the most common cause, however I am sceptical of this as the things I'm presently worried and...

Hi Guzzler, So can I ask, how high would your bs levels be if the DP was responsible for waking you up at this time of night? I understand that yes everyone gets DP, whether you're diabetic or not but for the non-diabetic DP should not be an issue as you say.

I hear that the dawn effect is the main reason for high blood sugar levels in the middle of the night. I'm worried that this is what is waking me up now at 3am every night. However my PP numbers are all normal, last time I checked back in Jan. I have no other symptoms and totally fine during the...

Why and how would high blood sugar levels keep you awake ? Would you also not get other symptoms like thirst etc?

For almost 4 months now I've been experiencing on going night time symptoms where I'll wake up anywhere from 130am - 530am. Around 6am I can fall asleep again for another couple of hours. I've been recording all my waking up times and how I feel. My average waking up time at night is anywhere...

Over the last few months now I've been experiencing on going night time symptoms where I'll wake up anywhere from 130am - 5am with this slight feeling that I needed to pee. Recently though it's become a slight bloated feeling as well. The times I have been to pee during these early mornings I...

That's interesting. What do you think the reason for this is then, in your case? I'm guessing it's just that if you drink loads then naturally it's not going to come out all at once because the average human bladder can hold up to max 800ml-1l perhaps. I know I have a large bladder that can...

I'm just curious really as I'm having some funny urination patterns. I know what you drink isn't always proportionate to what you pee but there are times when I'm peeing soon after I already peed. That's what confuses me despite not really having much to drink. However I'm talking like 2/3/4...

Just asking how much does your bladder hold until you really get the urge that you need to pee? Mine can be I reckon around 700-800ml as this is the amount I pee when I really have the urge to go. I’m assuming if you had a larger prostate then you would be going more often and urinating less...

Why do prostate issues, if you have them, flare up or become more evident when you’re in bed overnight? Is it something to do with being prone/lying down? The last few days now, I've woken up around 2am with a stronger urge to pee, however it's still not strong enough to actually make me go...

Also would you say that most men with enlarged prostate suffer ED (erectile dysfunction)?

I'm 34, male and for more than 2 months now I've been experiencing some strange, vague symptoms which are actually hard to describe as there is no pain or anything severe physically. It's like a slight sensation of fullness with a very slight urge to pee which is more prominent at night and...

I finally had a DRE and to my surprise, the doctor said it was slightly enlarged however it was very smooth and normal in that regard. It shocked me because I didn't expect someone my age to have this but the doctor wasn't overly concerned about it and said this can happen and it's nothing...

After my last post above, I started feeling better and normal urination habits etc. sleeping better too on the whole. However I am still waking up most nights around 3-4am occasionally with a slightly dry mouth too but no strong urge to pee. Even then though, some nights I'll be wide awake...

How do you set up a shared calendar on MS Outlook 2016 so that others people can access it and edit it etc. at any time? I need, one main overall calendar that is accessible to around 5/6 people. So far I haven't made any progress. I think the problem may be is that I don't have the public...

Yes I accept that meal numbers yesterday were fine however I'm still concerned with that first reading of 6.1, 2 hours after eating a small portion of oats with ss milk but then i went down to 5.7 which is lower than what I started with. Why would that be?

@Bubbsie yes that's right, I do understand that no-one can diagnose on here, however I know there are many experienced people on here so they could offer potentially helpful insight. I do have a family history (dad is type 2) plus being asian puts me at risk. I realise that the Ac1 test is the...
