[QUOTE="Emma3627G, post: 1917761, member: 494763"] So this has been a whirlwind for me. I’m a38 year old female already suffering from Ulcerative colitis . The last few months have been very weird but the last 24 hours have been very worrying On and off for maybe 3/4 months have been having some symptoms of cystitis/UTI on and off. been constantly thirsty, none stop urinating and getting hot and sweating at night. Last Friday the UTI symptom just got too painful and I went to my GPs walk-in clinic with a urine sample. They tested it and gave me 3 days course of nitrofuratonin. They did my bloods too because I was overdue them ( I have regular bloods for my colitis) Anyway the UTI symptoms returned on Wednesday night and I was up all night peeing, drinking in discomfort in my bladder. So took a new sample of unine to my doctor and they tested it and called me to say they had found high levels of glucose in my urine and did I have diabetes in the family, which I don’t. She asked me to return the next day with a new urine sample so I said ok. Off I popped to work. As soon as I got to work I just didn’t feel ok, my bladder was aching so I went to the toilet. I then popped into the staff canteen for a drink of water and a colleague who has diabetes was in there so I decided to ask her some questions about her symptoms when she got diagnosed. She was really nice and told me how she got diagnosed and then out of the blue offered to test my blood there and then. She tested it and my blood sugar was 15.6. I’d not eaten in 5 hours and only drank water. I immediately rang my doctors and left a message. She rang back shortly after to tell me they were very concerned. Not only was the urine they tested high in glucose, it also had high levels of keytones ? Blood, protein and leucocytes so I should go to A&E straight away. By this time my mouth was like sandpaper. I didn’t feel unwell other than feeling like I had a bladder infection. At A&E they did two further glucose tests 13.6 and the last being 12 . They said I need my GP to confirm diabetes and which type. I’m back at the GP today for another urine test. I have no idea what’s going on. This has all happened over a few weeks and I’m in shock. They said my ketone/Keytone level was 3 or 4 I have no idea what it all means and would love some guidance from you guys as to What my numbers suggest. I know absolutely nothing about diabetes Thank you xx [/QUOTE]
