Thirsty Today

I was hoping someone could shed some light maybe.

Today I am extremely thirsty, I've had about 5 cups of tea and about 3 bottles of water, this isn't normal for me. :?

To give you some background, I'm Type 2 (diagnosed last Feb) and taking Metformin.

The only significant change I can think of is that I started swimming yesterday after a break of 2 months and also started a toning session. It's really annoying cos I haven't had this before. I also feel a bit light headed this afternoon.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've checked my levels today and they are around 9 which for me is about right at the moment.
