Hello,
I found out I had Type 2 diabetes in 2005. I’ve been taking oral medication since about 2008 (Metfromin and Simvastatin). I have been suffering the following symptoms for the last couple of years and I’m wondering if it is related to the diabetes or the medication I’m taking. I get a stinging sensation at the end of my penis as if I have been peeing diluted acid and it's driving me mad because it affects my sleep all night. Once I am awake and out of bed I am less aware of the irritation and burning/stinging sensation as it is less severe for some reason. It usually lasts for a few days and then disappears for a few days before I get it again. It’s so frustrating as the irritation is not severe but just enough to irritate and affect my sleep. It’s really beginning to affect my job as I’m always tired. The other thing I think is worth mentioning is that I have lost about 10lb in the last 6 weeks. I know It’s not a urine infection nor is it related to a lack of hygiene. I was just wondering if anyone else has been suffering with these symptoms and if it is related to diabetes.
Best regards
