Hi Everyone,
Around last November, I was told I was Borderline Diabetic. I went on a diet and cut out sugar and was doing pretty good until just after the New Year, but then I got back to my old ways. I did continue to drink Diet Soda though, at least I was able to do that. But, I ate enough other sweets that it didn't matter. In the meanwhile, my doctor was on a leave of absence, then I was told he was leaving his practice. I made an appt. with a new Dr. but have had to wait a couple months to get in. Well, I have an appt. with him this Wednesday.
Today, I had bloodwork, including a fasting glucose test. I am so dreading Wednesday because I'm fairly certain I am now a full blown Diabetic. I can tell from the way I feel that something is not right.
Since my early 20s, I've had problems with low blood sugar but always, if I ate a good balanced meal, I could snap myself out of feeling sick. Lately, I have not been able to do that. No matter what I eat, I continue feeling sick.
Plus, I've had a sore on my abdomen now for over 2 months that won't heal. My vision has also been very blurry. I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but twice over the last few months, all of a sudden, I simply could not urinate. I would have horrible muscle spasms when trying. I don't know if i was dehydrated but both times, I just started drinking a lot of water, then once again, I was able to go.
I've also been getting very weak and feeling faint when becoming overheated and I did a search today and it said that can also be a symptom of Diabetes.
I am SO scared. What I can't figure out though, is why why why did I just continue letting myself getting worse. What is wrong with someone who will do that? I knew I was close to being a Diabetic.
Well, I'm glad I found you all.
