Hi
I’m after advice if anyone can help.
I had twins 2 years ago at 43 when I developed gestational diabeties, I managed with diet and metformin. My dad is also type 2 diabetic.
Last year I had to really push to have the blood test to check for type 2 and I was fine.
Over the last few months I’ve been waking up feeling hungover when I haven’t had a drink. I started testing my blood sugars and my morning fasting level is usually over 7. The rest of the day they are 7 or below. I contacted my gp to advise I thought I maybe pre diabetic especially with my history but have been told because it’s not an emergency they won’t see me. I am due to be tested again in august this year again I know I will have to really push to get this. As I had gestational diabeties I was told I had to be tested every year and I have a 50% change of developing type 2 over the next 5 years. When I was pregnant the reading I always struggled with was the morning one.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and it has turned into full type 2 diabeties.
