Hi everyone, firstly I don't want to sound daft or go to my doctor all paranoid asking him if I have diabetes and to find I'm perfectly fine and just being a drama queen but I was hoping I could get some advice as to what the hell is going on with me!
Firstly I do not have diabetes, I have been tested a few times in the past and have been told the last few times that my sugar levels are naturally a tad high but nothing to worry about.
What I'm worried about now is recently I'm really tired constantly, I've spent all this week feeling nauseous, extremely thirsty (I do have hayfever also which causes thirst but not so extreme usually) I am visiting the loo more but probably because I'm drinking so much. The main symptom I have which has made me look into it online though (which lead me to diabetes pages?) is I currently have horrible pins and needles like numbness In both hands, it doesn't hurt but it's uncomfortable and annoying! This isn't the first time it's happened, I also get it In my feet and legs sometimes. I get it I my hands and feet after a heavy night out and it lasts the whole next day, although I realised myself that it was affecting my health and rarely have big boozy nights these days and if I do have the odd one (hen night is coming up) I will be sticking to wine or mixers that are diet ones for my spirits. I no it prob sounds weird but I do 'feel' like my sugar levels are high if that's even possible, I can't miss a meal either or I go really really dizzy, sweaty and feel faint, lif I dont sit down and drink something fizzy I feel a bit better after a few minutes. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but already stated half my problems so may as well! I can't handle being to hot I feel unwell and hide away. I also keep suffering really dry feet like hard lumps at the back, trying all sorts o get rid of it but it's hard work, I trod on a pin the other day and didn't notice at first step till I walked another step and it pierced deeper (then I nearly cried)
Feel free to ask me any questions and any replys I would be grateful for. Thanks in advance Terri x
