[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2400069, member: 372717"] That shouldn't be too high, but when are you testing? Is that when you have the "brain" fog? Normal (non diabetic range is 4 - 8 mmol/L with occasional very brief spikes higher (or 72 to 140 mg/dL if you are using those units). Urine only gets excreted if you hit 10 mmol//L or 180mg/dL so I wouldn't expect you to be very thirsty. Honestly, I wouldn't expect your current issues to be necessarily caused by the diabetes. Are you seeing a specialist other than your GP? I think an endocrinologist might be a better bet than a family doctor on this one. And no, this is not what you should expect. Don't give up. Just because you have a complex set of possibly interacting conditions it doesn't mean they can't be sorted. Unfortunately with the COVID situation a lot of medical investigations are getting delayed, but hopefully you will soon get the help that you need. [/QUOTE]
