Just a question really

[Bim]

Hi,

I wonder if someone could please help me settle my mind. Over the last few weeks I have felt the need to go to the toilet more often, not always being able to go but with a strange feeling nonetheless. I have also been tired but this may well be because some nights I cant sleep. Anyways, I have managed to panic myself now, googling symtoms etc that maybe diabetes is the problem. I am not thirsty or extra hungry, I am overweight but walk my child to school and back each day both ways so do take some exercise as well as the occasional video to keep fit. I do eat vegetables and fruit, dont drink alcohol or smoke, I dont eat healthily every day though and some days I am embarrassed to admit I do gorge myself on things I really shouldnt eat. I guess what Im asking is, what is the likelyhood that just feeling I need to go to the loo might mean I have diabetes, Im nervous about going to the Doctor.

Thank you for your time,

Betty

Hi,

We can't really tell you if you do or don't have diabetes.

But whatever it may or may not be, you need to get any abnormal symptoms checked out by a doctor so you can get it sorted out

Don't be nervous about going to the doctors, however big or small, urgent or not the doctor sees hundreds of people for the same reasons so it's no trouble and thats exactly what they are trained and paid for, to help

Betty,

No one on here is qualified to give a diagnosis, those symptoms can be many things and you really need to see your gp and discuss this with them.
