Here's the deal. All of my grandparents have Diabetes, most of my aunts and uncles have it, some of my cousins have it. Type 1 and Type 2. Neither of my parents have diabetes yet.
For the last month I have felt weird. I'm constantly thirsty no matter how much I drink I'm still thirtsy. I'm hungry all the time. I urinate more often then most. Sometimes my vision gets fuzzy, when that happens I get REALLY sleepy and just don't feel right. I've also started sweating at night while I'm asleep. I sweat so much that the sheets are soaked. I feel tired and run down all the time.
In the past when I've gotten fasting Blood work done my sugars have been fine. (On the low side of normal.)
Did this happen to anyone who was diagnosed with diabetes? What were your signs/symptoms? Does this even sound like it could be diabetes?
Yes, I know only a doctor can tell me if it's diabetes or not. Just looking for insight and advice.
Those symptoms sound exactly like what I had but it's odd that the Blood TestsAren't showing it. Maybe you should try to do some home tests on your own to get a good idea of what your Glucose is doing throughout the day. With your family history it is the most likely cause of these symptoms. See if you can check for Ketones in your Urine. Do some blood sugar tests an hour after a meal and then again another hour later. Check when you are feeling really bad and also try a couple of fasting numbers. You really should be seeing numbers hovering around 100 or even lower. Close to meal times the numbers may spike but if you do not have diabetes even at these times they should regulate themselves.
