My last was 38 I think. I had obvious diabetic symptoms for years and sent a series of blood glucose reading to my GP which indicated diabetes, but my HbA1c was 46 so not high enough to be diagnosed. I was told my lack of energy was depression due to my abusive father (who I hadn’t seen for over...

Odd thing this morning, usually have freezing cold legs and feet and barely any feeling. If I trod on Lego I’d feel it (but not painful as such) but I’ve not changed a thing other than having beetroot juice for 2 days to see if it would improve my circulation and I have this morning awoken with...

Thanks everybody for your input. Been having a rough couple of days with no energy. Didn’t really eat on Friday and Saturday as felt too rough. Had some bread and apples yesterday which for someone 112kg isn’t a lot but I got up after my usual 3-4 hours of broken sleep and got my first 8hr...

I have had several urine glucose tests. It’s usually in the morning when I haven’t eaten for at least 12 hours as I panic before I see the docs and I’m nervous. They always seem disinterested in it so I haven’t given them much thought until recently. I have, or was having, a ridiculous amount...

I know. You’re correct. It’s difficult with the GP. I have had 1 incident where I’ve been given 2 drugs which cannot be used together and was ill for some time before my wife found it out on the internet that they should not be combined, and 2 incidents of pneumonia being untreated as thought to...

It was Levemir. I’m 110kg so according to the dosage info I should be using quite a bit. I was using 5 units a day. I ate quite a bit. I had energy I haven’t had for years. I went out with my family at the weekend. My eyesight came back- I usually have this gloopy whitish stuff in my eyes...

It was 39 mmol/mol

No. I have been told by several doctors that they would assume I am diabetic but the hba1c test says I’m not. 5 years of not adequately being a father to my daughter and not drinking or socialising or going to see friends etc because I’m usually unable to do anything but lie in a darkened room...

Thank you. I will do this and update. Many thanks to you both for your help. Sound advice. God bless.

My worry is that I have diabetes and fibromyalgia is just what they’ve called this. I’ve been using insulin at low doses for 2 weeks. It’s been 5 years of constant painkillers and I’m painkiller free and up and about all the time. I’ve been spending my time sweating buckets lying on my side in...

My name is James. I’m 42 from Ottery St Mary, I have a brilliant wife, and a 6 year old energetic daughter. This is hard for me to write as I’ve had a long hard time of it for the past 6 years. We don’t know whether I have diabetes. Around the time my daughter was born, we had a series of bad...
