Hello everyone,
I am 27 years old. About 6 months ago I noticed that I had to excuse myself in meetings etc to pop to the toilet. I have noticed that over the past six months I have been drinking more than at any previous stage of my life, but I always told that drinking water is good for you, so I never saw it as a bad or worrying thing.
More recently, say in the past 3 months or so, I have noticed that in the mornings I awake to a desperate urge to urinate.
I went to my doctor a few days ago who did a finger prick blood test and said my sugar level was high. At that point he said I might have diabetes and that I need to go and get blood tests done (which I did today). So I am now waiting results. My father has diabetes. Unfortunately I am no longer in contact with him, but I know he has it and injects quite frequently etc.
I am generally feeling quite unwell. Even after going to the toilet to pee, I seldomly feel that I am properly relieved. I am finding it hard to concentrate on anything, and I feel absolutely exhausted. I have a tender pain in my buttocks, and my balls feel dull/heavy uncomfortable. I have a headache and my lower abdomen also feels painful.
One of my main concerns at the moment is this:
I am trying to write a thesis - and the exhaustion throughout the day often results in me crashing out in bed for hours and hours. IF it is confirmed to me that I do have diabetes, is there any kind of medicine or anything that could make me feel less drained and exhausted. If I was less exhausted and this constant urge to urinate was gone or improved - then perhaps I could point out a direction for the future.
Yours, Worried Guy.
