Hi,
My name's Stacey, I'm 19 and I'm here for advice more than anything.
I haven't been diagnosed as diabetic, but I'm having a lot of people telling me that I may be.
I'm currently going through tests with the doctors to see what's wrong with me, but they're refusing to look at if I might be diabetic because my blood sugars are "normal". The thing is that I eat, quite easily, more than 5 times the average amount of sugar for any average person per week. That would certainly affect my blood sugars?
I am also, most of the time, feeling weak or tired. If I do not eat or drink anything sugary for half a day, I start to get really shaky and hyper and I find that even if I haven't had much to drink, I frequently need to urinate. I often feel dizzy or have blurred vision (though thankfully not too frequently for the vision). I constantly feel sick and almost always have headaches.
I've tried doing research online, but none have an answer to whether my sugar intake would have an affect or be an indicator to if I am diabetic or not.
I'm trying to be very careful with my research because I know that you can induce things if you think about it too hard.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
