[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 32902, member: 11459"] I was almost completely asymptomatic before dx bar gradually increasing thirst/urination for about a week. In two weeks before dx was on very busy hols, whole days spent walking about for hours in high temp, up crack of dawn,lots travelling and disrupted diet, more alcohol and sweeter foods than usual etc but nada to suggest 'surprise' to come which resulted in 3 days hospital stay. However, since dx and despite (reasonable first?) A1c of 7.7 after just 6 weeks and reasonably settled sugars pre meals (todays fasting was 4.9, pre lunch was 5.1, dinner 4.8) I feel absolutely hellish to the point where I am being tested for just about everything but nothing so far so I hearye! Fatigue, lightheaded, foggy brained and can barely make it past 10.30 or bend down to get something out a cupboard without feeling that Ive ran the New York marathon. By all accounts, given level of settling sugars, dx not cause of this. In a way I hoped it was cause it woudl then possibly go away Am at loss but continue to refuse to accept it is psychological and I know myself better than they do so...... Have you been tested for other things (Autoimmune Hypothyroid often hand in hand with diabetes) to rule them out. Just a suggestion. [/QUOTE]
