[QUOTE="tom79, post: 162284, member: 30132"] I wonder why they do not do more tests, it seems a simple thing to do and fast? I think mine came on very fast, I was abroad and got a bug, then I started loosing weight and drinking a crazy amount of water and getting out of breath when walking. quick google on my symptoms and it said to get a test so I did and was very lucky to havediagnosed myself. Got it confirmed at the doctors who sent me straight to hospital who said I would have been in serious bother in the not so distant future if I had not come in. :shock: I suppose I could have had it for longer, but I certainly only got the syptoms come in a short space of time, but wow 51 BG is massive! you must have felt like a very ill jelly bean. Im glad your ok and glad your on track now feeling good. I went away abroad for work, and the places where I went give there staff a proper medical every year, its not an option! why dont we do this in England I wonder? wouldnt it be a good thing for a company to ensure the health of its staff? (less sick and so on) Oh well! but it might just pick up some of these symptoms early on? and other conditions also. [/QUOTE]
