Hi everyone! Jill here!!
My brother has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
I am having various symptoms which made us think that I have it also..
Went to the doctors Friday (19th September) and was told to take in a urine sample. Took it in and was expecting it to be tested there and then but I have had to wait all weekend not knowing either way. Got the result eventually and was told it was fine.... :? Not what I wanted to hear.. but then again..!!
Very confusing.. :?
My symptoms are tiredness, feeling dizzy and sick. I drink a lot more than normal and go to the loo more often...but its not especially bad. Its like the symtoms are there but not bad enough to make me KNOW that I have diabetes...if you know what I mean..??
Although I have VERY bad tingling, pins and needles/numbness in my hands and arms.. which keeps me awake.. it feels like my hands are in a vice and being squeezed. It is ongoing all day but gets really bad at bedtime (I am on nights so I sleep from 6 till about 12 or 2 in the afternoon) to wake me. Also I am very sensitive about hot/cold etc.. seems to be very hot when it is warm and ice cold when its only cold from a tap :? :? And pain is heightened.
Should I have a blood test to see if that can detect it or could it be something else??
