Hi, I'm a 20 year old female, consider myself to be quite healthy however I have this really strong feeling I might be a type 1 diabetic. For the past few weeks now I've been feeling really really groggy and weak usually about an hour or so after I've just eaten. The only way I can explain it is it feels as if I can feel the energy or sugar from my last meal wearing off. I eat and I feel fine again, I usually eat something sweet or have a sweet drink and I'll be back to my normal self.
That is alls it has been up until yesterday. I don't really remember an awful lot of it but I was in my boyfriends and I become extremely hot and clammy and felt really under the weather. Usually I will slowly and gradually feel worse but yesterday it was like it all hit me at once. I remember opening the windows and lying down and that was it until I woke up to my boyfriend trying to get me to drink lucozade. He said that I had gone unconscious and that I was breathing really heavily. When I woke up he said my speech was extremely slurred and that I looked like I had no energy to do nothing.
It was only an hour or so before hand that we had been for our dinner so I didn't understand how I felt so ill. My boyfriends mum is a type 2 diabetic and is constantly having hypos and my boyfriend said that everything that happened with me usually happens with his mum too which is a little concerning.
Looking up the symptoms today I actually have an awful lot of them, shaking, dizziness, frequent urination, stomach pains, feeling weak.
I don't know if I'm reading too much into it but I thought I'd ask people who actually have diabetes to get some factual feedback?
Any information or advice will be kindly appreciated
