I don't know where to start to be honest!?
I've not got a mother or father with Diabetes but my grandfather (who is nearly 80) has diabetes but isn't getting any insulin, as it is being managed via lifestyle/diet. My great grandmother, apparently had diabetes. My uncle told me.
Anyway, I've been having abnormal Liver Function tests since I was 25 years old (I've just turned 30) my doctor said it wasn't anything to worry about and that she wouldn't send me for more tests because it wouldn't be anything to worry about because I was far too young! Whether that's good practice or no? Basically my lire produces too much Billirubin.
I've been feeling not well for quite some time now, tired without even doing anything as such. The tiredness effects me every single day! I get told I look tired, drained and I'll, my mum is so complimentative :-( it setting me down! Anyway I've had pneumonia and I have asthma too so I was on steroids for 10 days and I can't kick away colds or infections easily, never have done. Still feeling quite poorly I went to see my doctor who ran a series of blood tests and again results of abnormal liver function and a blood glucose on fasting of 7.4, no I don't know whether I am barking up the wrong tree but is that high for a fasting blood specimen. I am worried quite in the dark on diabetes, I don't know what is normal what isn't. So I am reading up just in case I have for diabetes. I've gone for more blood tests again today but everything does add up now, frequent urination, extreme tiredness, dry flaky skin, mood swings, depressed mode some days, dizziness, and 2 weeks ago I had a near fainting attack where I almost fainted but it was where my heart skipped a beat and then had to beat twice to get the Rythmn goin again, in other words palpitations. What doesn't make me a candidate, (SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD) is I am not over weight, I have very low blood pressure, always have done and I frequently worked-out up until 7 months ago. I had to stop because I get tingly and numbness in my hand and tingling sensation up my arms so I have been under investigation for that and sometimes it is numb for some parts of the day.
I really am sorry if this post has gone on a little I am just confused, a bit worried and wondered if you could she's some light on whether you think this could be diabetes? I do understand you're not doctors but my doctor has just said it's not readings of a diabetic so don't worry but we need to do more blood tests-which I've had today.
Once again, thank you in advance for any of your advice/information
