Hello, im a 28 y/o male 6ft around 12.5 stone. Im looking for some advice really. Over the last 4-5 months iv bin going to the toilet more feeling very hungary often, having cold hands and feet tingling, thrush and i seem to be sweating more especially if i go for a walk or am eating in warmer weather.
I had a fasting test and originally it was 5mmol, since then iv had 5.2, 5.4 and even a 5.8. Iv checked my sugar levels 2 hours after meals and its been from the late 7,s down, i had 1 reading at 9mmol. Iv been to the doctor explaining my symptoms and results an d he said the results are fine due to a 3 month reading of 5.1. Iv read a lot of things about pre-diabetes what scores should be but im still in the dark. As i am continually having these symptoms i just want to know whats going on then i can make a change if i need to. I dont eat a lot of sweet stuff but i do eat quite a lot of carbs. Would these symptoms normally occur at this stage or is it normally when sugar levels are really high? Could someone give me some advice on what they thinks going on. Would really appreciate these as i just feel drained all the time and just want some help. Thanks.
