[QUOTE="timgil, post: 2021789, member: 496446"] Felt something was "off" - had been extremely fatigued for weeks - especially around 3pm and found it almost impossible to work in the later afternoon. Also started drinking around 6 litres a day and having to go pee every 5 mins. Did some research on symptoms and suspected diabetes. Followed up by getting a blood test kit and keytone strips and discovered 27mmol/l in blood and keytones of 8 in urine. Took myself off to A&E after 111 suggested and was seen in about 15 mins and monitored for suspected Diabetic KA. After around 4 hours they decided I was in the clear and sent me home. They didnt make a diagnosis and it wasnt till I had got a doctors appointment a couple weeks later (I was changing doctors) that I discovered that they had found an A1c of 122 at hospital. Another reading of 108 at the doctors and then straight onto glimipiride. [/QUOTE]
