Hi, I'm looking for a little advice if possible i have had a lot of problems over the last 3 years and could hardly eat anything infact the only thing i could eat for a long while was chicken and potatoe anything other than that gave me a real bad upset stomach lost a lot of weight due to it but as suddenly as it came on it went and i could eat most things some things still make me bad but not half as much and have gained weight again and am a good weight.

I have also had bad depression for around 12 years and now to top it all off i have started waking up in a morning feeling like i'm going to start shaking really bad and then it happens again later in the day most often as the day gets late on and at night this usually goes away within about 20 minutes if i eat something or drink something with sugar in it.

I'm worried about going to the doctors about it because with the amount i have been to the doctors over the last 3 years i don't want to waste there time or at the worst case get removed from there list.

The reason i was worried about being removed is as this happened to me once before around 10 years ago i kept going to the doctors and insisting something was wrong with my stomach as i was feeling bloated all the time and getting real bad indegestion and they said there was nothing wrong and not to worry and insisted on this due to me being only 18 and ended up removing me from the list due to me keep going about it anyway as it turned out the new dr sent me for an endoscopy and i had a small ulcer i don't want to be removed from another dr list and don't want to go if it is probably nothing.

sorry for the long post and life history but my wife said to go get a diabetes test done as her dad is diabetic and that is what it seemed like to her but i just don't want to waste there time.
 
Hi Andy and welcome to the forum.You really need to go and see a doctor you know.Can you go to a different doctor in your health centre or is it a one doctor practice? They are the only ones who can put your mind at rest about whether you have diabetes or not.Doing a home test can sometimes give you confusing readings so it is best to get a blood test done at the doctors.Explain to the doctor about waking up shaking etc.The least they can do is a finger prick test to see if your sugars are up at that moment.You really need to do this for your own peace of mind.Good luck with this and let us know how you get on.
 
There are a few doctors at our surgery it's not the same surgery i was at when i was younger as have moved since then it's more of a due to past experience of being struck off there list and the amount i have been over the last 3 years due to having a dodgy stomach again i don't want it to happen again i'm quite sure they think i'm going mad with the amount i have been over the last few years.

I know you are right and i need to get this sorted out as this shaking feeling i get is driving me insane that coupled with the sweating and the pain well more like an ache i get in my legs is why my wife said to go check it isn't diabetes i'm just worried about what they will say/think about me going to them with yet another problem.
 
Well,Andy ,surely it's better to find out what it is or isn't instead of worrying yourself ill about it!!Take your wife with you so that she can explain about her father and the symptoms etc.Just because they didn't find any thing last time doesn't mean they won't find anything this time!
