J jonbey Newbie Messages 2 Jun 26, 2011 #1 Ideally in Chelmsford? I seem to urinate a lot (although not loads and not at night) and often feel tired. Also some yeast issues that never seem to totally go away. Was thinking that I should do a blood sugar test but do not want to buy a device or try to convince my GP to do one. I am 37 and a bit overweight, although keep active with regular exercise.
