I was diagnosed as Type 2 in February this year.
My 90 day average is around 7, from 28 when diagnosed, so quite a positive result.
When my sugar levels began to normalise, my body took me through a kind of "cold turkey" or False hypo" response. I was surprised my health care professionals hadn't heard of this, and I was left to suffer this for about 2 weeks on my own, very scared and alone.
I eventually bought a meter and testing supplies, and was encouraged to see the minor lifestyle changes made a significant difference to my sugar and weight.
Being a man of a certain age, I experienced prostate problems, and found myself peeing extensively. This wasn't isolated to Prostate, as the kidneys need to flush away excess sugar.
At first I restricted my drinking before bed, then on advice from others I increased again.
With a result that every couple of hours I need to P.
One night, I told myself I wanted to make myself a coffee ... The only thing, I wasn't awake. I actually sleep walked, started making a coffee then, realising what I was doing, I stopped and went back to bed, still sleeping.
I've never experienced anything like this before or since? Is this related to the diabetes?
