[QUOTE="bobbys, post: 2019075, member: 501546"] I am 40 , 5 feet 8 inches , 80kg , skinny look but 38 inch waist line (fat is not distributed equally its just the belly fat) I inherited diabetes from my Father and mother. I am regularly monitoring my blood sugar level using "optium freestyle" and occasional HbA1c test and I never got dangerous reading it always remained within normal range i.e fasting 100mg/dl and random 120 to 140 mg/dl, HbA1c remains within normal ranges. I have an inactive life style I work from home and spend most of my time in front of computer (leaning on my easy chair) I usually don't eat sugary products but occasionally consume bad or junk food after which I immediately observe pain in tooth, frequent urination (while blood test monitors shows normal ranges)، scrotum itching and dark spots on legs (which goes away after controlling diet) Overall I am not in good health, I always receive comments like you are looking pale or weak. I eat very less food (loss of appetite), while climbing stairs I feel shortening of breath often get pain in joints (Knee and lower spine or back which goes away after few days on its own) and most importantly I can't walk with some weight is hand e.g carrying a 5kg bag for few hundred meters is hell of a job for me , And since couple of months I noticed erectile dysfunction. So my question is Is it possible that my diabetes is progressing but home monitors and HbA1c are failed to detect it? or the decline in health is because of my inactive lifestyle ? what kind of tests I should take to check what exactly wrong with me ?
