[QUOTE="Languagelearner, post: 2215870, member: 519777"] Hi, I had a blood test at the end of January showing A1C of 48 (equal to 6.5%), which is in the diabetes range. (I was tested in 2018, and the result was an H1AC of 35 then.) Now the doctors want me to do another follow-up blood test at the end of February to confirm the diagnosis. My main symptom, and why I went to the doctors, is urination. But I've read on the Internet how diabetics urinate a lot, whereas I mean that when I go to bed I feel the need to go to toilet even if I have hardly drunk anything all day. It can be: urinate 1 drop, go to bed, 2 mins later get up again to urinate 1 drop, go to bed, 2 mins later 1 more drop. And it can carry on for hours - when the bladder is basically empty anyway. I wonder if I need to drink more, and if dehydration (my urine is dark orange) leads to overconcentrated urine that irritates the bladder? Or have I got another condition entirely? So basically in addition to trouble getting to sleep because of feeling like I need to urinate small amounts, I also wake up many times in the night to urinate properly. And during the day, I didn't use to need to urinate a lot, but this has now become a problem - good job I work from home and can go to the toilet when I want. The only other problem is constant problems with swollen feet, for no real reason. I have to avoid hot baths for that reason. Do my symptoms sound recognisable? [/QUOTE]
