[QUOTE="sarah_rachelle93, post: 1241649, member: 328974"] [FONT=Tahoma]Hi everyone I thought this would be a good place to put my worries and hope someone could clear them up for me. Over the last few months, I have noticed I'm becoming increasingly more exhausted. The slightest activity seems to make me want to sleep for days and I never feel properly rested. It doesn't feel like a normal tiredness either, I feel exhausted to my bones. Also, I'm not normally someone who ever needed to get up to pee in the night, but over the last month or two, almost every other night I have to get up to use the bathroom 2 or 3 times. I haven't really noticed an increased frequency during the day however. I go through periods of being really thirsty, but it isn't constant and I wouldn't say I've developed an increased thirst. I have lost about 8lbs but again, I have been trying to eat healthier. I'm training to be a vet, and I'm sure anyone with a medical background can appreciate - start having symptoms and you automatically start wondering if it's this or that. I purchased a cheap home glucose test from the chemist and tested a fasting sample this morning. My reading was 8mmol. Naturally, this made me panic a little but at the same time, the test most likely wasn't accurate and I think I'm being paranoid. I've borrowed a proper meter and test strips off of a family member to get a more accurate fasting reading tomorrow morning, but I just wondered what everyones thoughts were? Part of me is convinced I'm just being paranoid. Thanks in advance! Sarah[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
