Hi Jackie and welcome.
The only way to tell if you are a diabetic is for your Dr. to give you the necessary tests. Without a diagnosis it is difficult for us to advise you. It could be that you are suffering from reactive hypoglycaemia.

You could go to a branch of LLoyds Chemist who do a free check and depending on the result, will suggest you see a Dr.
If you are diagnosed then rest assured that you will get all the help necessary to help you on this forum.
Hope this helps and take care.

I agree, see the doctor. Although what you are saying isn't symptomatic of diabetes.
 
Yes that's what the dr said and that's it. Should i pop into llypds chemist and see what they say. And then book to see a dr or a diabetic nurse.
 
If you feel that you need reassurance then by all means arrange a test at LLoyds. It would be prudent not to mention what has happened so far as they may not see the need to test you.
 
I have been suffering since january and i can't live on lucozade forever. I do get light headed and dizzy if i stand too long or sometimes 10 mins.
