but my question is as follows: In the off-chance that I'm suddenly diabetic, how urgent should I be seeking help right now?
That's a good idea.You could try and get your blood sugar taken at a local pharmacy to check how that is or atleast give you something to go on when you phone the doctors for an emergency
Hi thereI am with all of the above posters - to me this sounds kind of serious. Either go to an A&E or plant yourself firmly in your doctor's waiting room and don't leave before they have measured your blood glucose.
I am not a doctor, but to me your symptoms smack of a sudden onset of LADA (or late T1). If not taken hand of, it might be life threatening.
Please keep us posted.
Best, annelise
Did you get in contact with your Dr yet?Hey everyone,
I'm not diagnosed with diabetes so I understand I might be being a hypochondriac, so sorry if I'm wasting your time but I'd love some help.
Basically, these past few days I've just been so thirsty. It doesn't matter how many times I fill up a bottle of water, I'll drink it within a minute - it's unquenchable and it's getting worse. I'm so so hungry as well, and i've got a bit of diarrhoea probably because I'm eating so much. I start shaking if I drink a load of water as well, and today in particular I've been a bit out of it, and I woke up this morning with a banging headache, probably because I'm restricting myself from drinking. I'm sweating in the night and my bedsheets are left smelling like sweet vinegar, which is not my normal smell and it's gross. My mood's gone through the floor as well, I'm usually a pretty nice guy but recently I'm struggling not to insult everyone I see on the street lol. And I'm probably annoying my flatmates by spending so much time to and from the bathroom to pee all the water I'm putting in.
Anyway, I'm early 20s and very slim. I know not to diagnose before seeing a doctor but my question is as follows:
In the off-chance that I'm suddenly diabetic, how urgent should I be seeking help right now? My doctor's surgery would have to make me wait a week or more as they're very busy, but I feel myself deteriorating by the day, and I really don't know a lot about how this might progress if I am affected.
Again, I'm sorry if I'm just another internet hypochondriac, but I am a bit worried about what I should be doing.
Thank you
