[QUOTE="julie56, post: 831309, member: 88494"] I had been losing weight for about six months (1.5 stone) and feeling tired. Started craving orange juice and fizzy drinks which was out of the ordinary for me, but water wouldn't quench my thirst. Mouth and eyes became very dry and during the last month before diagnosis my eyesight became increasingly blurry. Had Grave's disease previously which was treated with radio-active iodine 12 years ago and thought that it may have become underactive. Saw doctor and had blood test - told to go back in a week for results, but instead had phone call later that day to say blood sugar level was 33 and started on Metformin 3 a day. Went back two weeks later and was then put on Sitagliptin. That was 18 months ago and hba!c has improved, but numbers starting to rise again so trying hard to keep the carbs down as much as possible.
