For a couple of months I’ve suspected I may be diabetic, after abusing my body with energy drinks to supplement my meals for years.
I’m 29yo, M. I have a fast pace job so it’s very normal for me to go 12 hours or so without a meal, except my body couldn’t cope - that was my first inkling of diabetes. I started seeing black, face tingling, trembling, feeling hot and sweaty so went to have a chocolate bar - which didn’t help. I had to have a sausage roll and crisps before I started feeling better. Is that a thing?
I’ve just had a midnight snack, bowl of cereal (quite normal to eat this late, 1:30am, my shifts are 14:00-22:00 so I stay up late and wake up late), and then had a shower and now I’m feeling quite funny, a bit weird and disoriented. Not quite dizzy, not quite faint but I feel off? Almost feel spaced out! That’s what’s prompted this post. I was fine before the cereal!
My eating habits aren’t the healthiest, but what’s the first step to checking? Do I need to see a specialist? My GP? Are my symptoms even remotely diabetes or do I just need to sort my life out? lol
