Thank you. Do you know how thyroid treatment can affect blood sugar? Do you mean that the _medication_ for thyroid issues can send levels of glucose fluctuating?

I already have little energy from being hypothyroid. How are you now? Have you had to change your diet dramatically?

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted on this thread. It means a lot to know there are people out there willing to respond and listen. Thanks again. Unfortunately my gp refuted all the symptoms I reported and seemed to dismiss them. Essentially he said the thing I am suffering from for...

Thanks for that. I will shortly find out, assuming GP will test.

Always once, sometimes twice. Not usually more than twice... although I take a mug of tea to bed with me at about 11.00/11.30pm so have put it down to that. Is twice enough to be a worry, do you think?

To be honest, I drink tea continuously through the day so probably wouldn’t notice if I was unusually thirsty or not!

Okay I’ll be sure to mention it in my appointment tomorrow. Thank you.

Thanks so much. I fear I have confused my endocrine system and possibly damaged it beyond repair by guzzling aspartame all day long (artificiality sweetened lozenges). Yes, more than peeing and drinking water, I’m being ravaged by neuropathic tingling. I had it last summer (when it went away)...

It was blood drawn from a vein, first thing in the morning, and sent to a lab at the nearby hospital. In late Feb / early March! Yet if these present symptoms aren’t the result of diabetes I will eat my hat. You see, I was anxious even then. Does it make a difference?

Thanks for that, urban racer. I wasn’t expecting anyone to diagnose me but rather I was hopeful that someone might comment on the *likelihood* of being pre-diabetic based on the blood glucose reading of 4.4. Can blood results race up very rapidly? Does this sort of thing happen? These were...

Hi all, I’m seeing a doctor before work tomorrow but it’s unlikely I’ll be able to have blood drawn for testing until next week. (I may take matters into my own hands and buy a kit from a chemist.) I feel convinced that I have diabetes setting in. My symptoms are (quite drastic) peripheral...
