Don't have diabetes
Hi
Im new here and I just wanted to share my situation as I just don't know what I can do
The last few months have been hell for me as I have no energy to even get out of my bed some days and I have lost my appetite completely and survive mainly on my constant need to drink all the time. At first I didn't think anything of it but now I find myself downing 2l of juice in 10 minutes and continuously going to the toilet. I feel very drowsy now but the weird thing is some days I feel okay whilst on others i feel very sick

Could this be diabetes or am I over thinking this?
Thank you to anyone that responds as I would appreciate it alot!!
 
Hi. You may want to go to the local pharmacy and ask for a spot finger prick blood test and take it from there i.e. see the GP if the reading suggests that. I would advise not to drink lots of juice just in case you have diabetes. It will probably be loaded with sugar and send your blood sugar sky high? Drink water, tea, coffee etc to satisfy thirst. Also just in case you do have diabetes keep the carbs you eat under control
 
Hi @Fluffy12
We cannot diagnose you so please visit your doctor asap.
If it is diabetes juice will do you no favours so switch to water.
 
@Fluffy12 . Welcome to the forum. No one here can diagnose you, that's for a GP.
Have you any other symptoms?
Weight loss.
Blurred vision.
Thrush infection.
Urinating throughout the night.
Whether or not you have other symptoms I would suggest a visit to your GP.
