Rather older than you - like 70 now ! - and I've been type 2 diabetic for around 4-5 years - and probably before that and didn't know it !Stop terrifying yourself ! Even if you have diabetes, it is eminently controllable these days once you know you have it. But wait until you know if you have it before assuming you have. The chances are you haven't got it and it's just eye strain as you say.Get to your GP on Monday and your doctor will almost certainly do a blood test via a simple finger-prick and blood glucose meter.If there's a diabetes problem, you'll be referred to his diabetic specialist nurse at the health centre or hospital and they'll soon sort out the way to control it. It's not the end of the world.Trevor</blockquote>
