[QUOTE="Janieb, post: 105651, member: 20380"] I can actually remember being thirsty for about 3 years - I was always finishing my hubbies drinks off and he'd usually have to buy me two teas or oranges for one of his drinks. Then last year I was sent with work to Bangalore India for two weeks on my own which was very very lonely. I ended up with severe gastricenteritous and suffered with it for a month after returning home. Again I felt really tired but put it down to that and my BP tablets as a possible side effect there was tiredness. Plus I was on water tablets as well to running to the loo all the time anyway. Then Pauls mum fell actually its a year ago tomorrow that she was taken into hospital only to die five days later on bonfire night. All through that time I was again very very tired but put it down to all of the stress and lack of sleep as we were travelling daily to Stoke from Rossendale., Its only June this year that I finally went to the doctors as I was for instance cleaning a room and having to sit down half way through because I was so shattered. I could sleep all day and still be exhausted and you could forget going out walking with the dogs or other wifely duties. Luckily for me its type 2 diet only and since I've been diagnoised I've lost nearly 2 stone and my last test was below 7 so I'm not doing too badly. I've also not had any chocolate/biscuits/cakes/added sugar since June - so not bad hey. [/QUOTE]
